Are there dentists who specialize in dental implants?
There is no specialty of Dental Implants recognized by either the American Dental Association or the New Jersey State Board of Dentistry. The Specialty of Periodontics includes education and clinical training in the surgical placement of dental implants and the techniques required to maintain them in health. Because Periodontists are surgical specialists who routinely perform complex surgical procedures, and are also well versed in providing preventive maintenance, they are ideally suited to provide dental implant therapy. This care is critical to protect your oral health investment.
