Before anything else, you need to figure out what the right dental practice looks like to you. This could involve a wide range of criteria, such as the office hours that the practice offers, the location of the office, and whether they provide specific services. Upon finding a dental practice that fits your criteria, you can check the dentist’s biography to see what their qualifications look like. And of course, it always helps to take a look at some of the practice’s reviews on Google as well as social media (such as Facebook).
Some dentists only attach the final restoration and will refer you to a local specialist to have the actual dental implant posts surgically placed. However, some dentists have the training and knowledge to complete every step of the process under one roof. You should check your dentist’s credentials to see if they have any experience in dental implants specifically.
For instance, Dr. Weinman is proud to offer start-to-finish dental implant treatments. He has completed a three-year dental implant program at NYU and currently holds membership with the International Congress of Oral Implantology.
In the United States, becoming a dentist requires earning a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). To obtain one of these degrees, one must first earn a bachelor’s degree. Then after being enrolled in dental school, the candidate must complete a total of three years of learning.
A dentist’s education isn’t finished just because they’ve earned their degree; they will need to attend continuing education courses in order to remain licensed. The total number of continuing education hours required depends on the state that the dentist practices in.
