It’s always wise to choose your health care professionals carefully. But it’s especially important to choose your implant dentist carefully. The reason is that implant dentistry is an especially demanding discipline. And, since it is a fairly new discipline, it is not an officially recognized specialty. In addition, most dentists were not trained in dental implants in dental school. This is knowledge that they have to pick up through continuing education. All of that adds up to a field that could be the fastest-growing area for dental malpractice cases. There is substandard treatment taking place.
