Implant dentistry has come a long way in just a few short years. The average dental practice has got to be involved in this up and coming field. It just is business suicide not to be involved.
Dentists traditionally have allowed their practices to drive them and to drive the types of dentistry being offered and delivered. Whether insurance driven or fee for service, the dentists have to become proactive in today’s competitive marketplace.
Every dental practice in the world has patients that could benefit from the advantages of dental implants and what these dental services can give those patients as to increase in their quality of life.
The average dental implant patient is partially or totally edentulous. Now, how many of these patients do you have in your practice now? How many of these patients are being offered fixed bridges and not being offered the opportunity of dental implants?
It is a fact that dental implants will outperform and outlast a fixed bridge over time when all maintenance factors are equal. No matter how well the bridge is fabricated, it will trap more food than a free standing dental implant restoration. Even further proof is that the usual dental patient will not floss enough times to extend the longevity of the bridge but can perform routine maintenance on dental implants with more ease and control.
Learning to place and restore your dental implant cases will alleviate these problems, add a new level of superior care to your patient base and re-ignite your passion and love for the career of your choice.
