If you want to get dental implants, you have an important decision ahead of you—are you going to choose a practice that offers start-to-finish implant treatment, or will you visit a specialist in addition to your general dentist? When the outcome is successful implants in either case, which route is better?
Although a specialist may be necessary in highly complex cases, most of the time, it’s smarter to go with a dental practice that can execute the whole treatment because of the following benefits.
No Need to Visit Another Office
Let’s face it—no one enjoys having to start over with a brand-new office. When you work with a separate implant specialist, not only are you completely unfamiliar with the team, but you also have to fill out all kinds of tedious paperwork.
Needless to say, it’s much easier and more streamlined to stick with one team that has the experience and knowledge in-house to handle the entire implant process.
The Same Team Monitors Your Progress
Throughout implant treatment, you need to make certain criteria before you can move on to the next step. For instance, after placement, your jawbone needs to grow around the implants; this process usually takes between three and six months. Having the same trained professional consistently keep track of your progress can make sure that each step is completed at the right time for your unique case.
Even years after implant placement, it is helpful to have the same person who inserted the implant helping you take care of it and keep it in excellent condition.
You Know Who to Contact
At some point in the dental implant process, you may have questions. Or, although unlikely, you may have symptoms that you’re worried about. Those who have had to work with multiple teams may not know which one they should contact. Is this a problem or question for the oral surgeon or for the restorative dentist?
In these cases, it’s comforting to know where you can turn for help. When you are treated from start to finish by the same team, you feel confident in reaching out to them if you have concerns.
Ultimately, taking advantage of just one office for implant treatment can simplify an already somewhat complicated process, help you stay with a team you’re already comfortable with, and let you know who you should talk to. It’s worth finding a practice that offers it all to you!
