Many patients that are interested in dental implants want to know how they can ensure that their dental implants provider is qualified for their needs. To help our patients understand what makes a good dental implants provider, we have compiled this page of important question you should ask when choosing the right dental implants provider for your needs.
Does your provider have special training to install implants?
Dr. Kuzmin is a graduate of a comprehensive ten-month dental implant Maxi Course and a member of the prestigious American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Additionally, he has completed countless hours of continued education to supplement his dental implant training.
How long has your provider been placing implants?
Dr. Kuzmin has been placing dental implants in his practice for over ten years. After all these years, he prides himself in continuing to learn and challenging the boundaries of his knowledge.
Does your implant dentist offer a comprehensive initial examination prior to diagnosis and treatment?
Be sure to find a dental implants provider that is interested in your long-term health, your bite function, the success of your dental implant, and the overall aesthetics and of your whole mouth. Your initial examination should include the following:
- A comprehensive review of the health of your gums, teeth, and jawbone.
- A complete bite evaluation of your overall bite function.
- A review of where your sinuses and nerves are.
- A discussion of the finding of your exam, the advantages of dental implants, the disadvantages of treatment options, and your overall oral health goals.
Does your implant specialist show you before and after photos of cases that they have done to demonstrate their competence?
Qualified dental implant providers usually take photographs of their dental implant patients. If your dental implant provider cannot provide these then keep looking.
Does your implant specialist have the latest technology to diagnose and treat your condition?
Utilization of the latest technologies can offer faster diagnosis and treatment, as well as a more effective course of treatment. Ask your provider what services and diagnostic tools they use for dental implant placement and aftercare. If they cannot tell you or have none, then it is best to find a different provider.
What is your implant dentist’s success rate?
A dental implant provider’s success rate can be a pretty accurate sign of you practitioner’s overall knowledge, skills and important clinical judgment. Seasoned professionals know when the implant situation is ideal for the implant, how to place the implant and what other parts of the procedure will give the best function, as well as health and aesthetics.
Dr. Kuzmin has placed thousands of implants and has a success rate in the 95-98% range. You can be sure that before you begin any treatment, he will first be sure that you are a good implant candidate. Dental implant placement will only be initiated if Dr. Kuzmin feels confident that your dental implant placement will be successful. Please feel free to ask Dr. Kuzmin or his knowledgeable staff any other questions you may have about dental implants or finding the right provider for your needs.
