When selecting a new doctor, consider the following:
  • Quality of Explanations: Compare dentist replies. Give preference to well-reasoned, detail-oriented, transparent explanations.
  • Experience & Qualifications: If a dentist has a practice listing, check their practice description, special training, typical office procedures and before & after case photographs.
  • Other Patients' Freedback: If a dentist has reviews, read other patients' reviews. The more reviews they have, the more likely it is that other patients' feeback is accurate.
  • Treatment Costs: Dental procedure costs vary from practice to practice and depend on a variety of factors. Because quality of patient care and treatment results vary from practice to practice most dentists will not "price-match" treatment fees of others.

If a dentist has proper training, then he/she is qualified to place implants. I would recommend Dr. Dale Hererro for this. He is located on Grand Avenue in Piedmont.

Dental inplant surgery to place an implant in an empty space is commonly done by an oral surgeon or by a general dentist who has completed a special training course. Always ask how many implants the provider has placed before in a similar spot. Also, what are the possible complications of the surgery, what can be done to cope with the possible complications and what is the success rate of the provider for this procedure. A second opinion is a common path for someone considering this type of treatment.

Dear Patient,

An oral surgeon and a Periodontist are the most qualified to place implants, however, a general dentist can obtain the qualification, but chances are that he/ she may not be placing as much implants as the specialists. I highly recommend that you seek the consult of an oral surgeon and make the decision afterwards.

Best Regards,
