Can general practitioners do implants?
A. Implants are composed of the fixture (surgical) and the restoration (crown/bridge/denture). Traditionally, the fixture was done by the oral surgeon while the restoration was done by the prosthodontist. Nowadays, implant courses are available to all GPs. Our colleagues who are OMS (oral maxillofacial surgery) specialists agree that most dental implants can be placed by experienced GPs. At New Age Cosmetic Dentists, we have successfully handled simple to challenging surgical cases.
