Criteria for Choosing a Melbourne Dental Implant Dentist
Many dentists offer free consultations, and you should take advantage of that fact. We recommend obtaining at least three quotes for dental implants, and you should ask about the following when meeting with each Melbourne dentist:
Training: You have every right to know about the training your general dentist or specialist has undergone. Training in implant dentistry can range from attending simple lectures to extensive, hands-on courses. Your best bet is to go with a dentist who frequently seeks out continuing education opportunities to stay abreast of the latest developments in implant techniques and materials.
Experience: You should ask how many years the Melbourne dentist has performed implant surgery and how many cases he or she completes every year. Experience yields better technique, both surgically and aesthetically. After years of practice, an implant dentist has seen the types of complications that can occur and knows how to resolve them or prevent them from occurring in the first place.
Cost: If you have dental insurance, you obviously want to choose a dentist who participate with your insurance company so that you can maximise your rebate. Prices vary widely from dentist to dentist, and the only way to know if you are getting a fair price is to do some comparison shopping.
Comfort: All other things considered, your overall comfort level with your Toorak dentist, the dental staff and the office space takes top priority. Is the dentist likeable and compassionate? Do staff members provide personalised service rather than treating you like a number? Is the dental office modern and clean? The implant process can take months, so you must have complete confidence that you will feel as comfortable and safe as possible at every appointment.
