Your Questions
Q & A
I want to start placing dental implants but I am not sure how to start?
As a general dentist, learning a new skill can be challenging. The good news is that general dentists are already very well equipped with the base knowledge required, they just need to consolidate that knowledge and apply it. Here is a framework on how to achieve dental implant success and confidence in your practice:
- Start with some basic research to see if dental implants is the right skill for you to take on-board your practicing journey.
- Take a comprehensive training course
- Observe experienced professionals
- Seek mentorship
- And most importantly… Get started!
Why should I learn about dental implants?
There are several advantages to learning about dental implants as a dentist, including:
- The ability to offer a wider range of treatment options to patients
- The potential for increased income through the provision of implant services
- The ability to improve patient outcomes and satisfaction,
- Staying current with the latest technology and techniques
- Enhance your professional reputation and credibility
- Opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration
Why should I consider dental implants as a tooth replacement solution for my patients?
There may be a need to treat patients with missing teeth who may not be candidates for other types of restorative treatments, such as bridges or dentures
Implant-supported restorations can also help to preserve the remaining natural teeth, as they do not require the reduction of healthy tooth structure like you do with dental bridges.
Implant-supported restorations can provide improved stability, function, and aesthetics compared to traditional restorative options.
Why should I consider implementing digital dentistry in my practice?
- Improved accuracy and efficiency:
- Enhanced patient experience
- Greater treatment options
- Increased income
- Staying current with the latest technology
- Interdisciplinary collaboration
- Decreased risk of errors
Why should I upskill in oral surgery?
There are several advantages to upskilling your oral surgery as a dentist, including:
- The ability to offer more comprehensive treatment options to patients.
- Improved patient outcomes.
- Increased patient satisfaction and a higher level of continuity of care as the patient does not have to be referred to another specialist for certain procedures.
- Increased ability to diagnose cases which may otherwise go undiagnosed
