Over a hundred dental implant companies are in the U.S. market right now. There are specialists like oral and maxillofacial surgeons, periodontists and prosthodontists.
Patients are cautioned, though, to choose wisely because a growing number of implant manufacturers are training general dentists through quick courses on placing dental implants surgically. Veteran implant surgeons claim that in order to become proficient at dental implant placement, he or she should have already done hundreds of implants. Patients are recommended to demand from the dentist information like how many implants has he or she performed and how long he or she is doing dental implant procedures.
