How to Choose a Qualified Oral Surgeon to Perform your Dental Implant Surgery
"When evaluating doctors, you want to know how much experience they have before you enter into any kind of treatment. Implant treatment requires skills that are only obtained after years of practice. Knowing what to do and what not to do only comes with experience.
​
​
Who should get DENTAL IMPLANTS?
​
"As you get older, sometimes teeth are lost, either by trauma or infection. There is certainly a need to give the patient back function, aesthetics, and a feeling of self-worth. This is extremely important."
​
What are the Advantages of having Implant Surgery in the Hospital, at Saint Joseph Medical Center?
​
"A lot of the work can be done in the office. However, in the older population who might have conditions like diabetes, hypertension or cardiovascular problems, treatment can be done in a more controlled hospital environment."
