Your general dentist may be qualified to place them, but for the best results, it\u2019s a better idea to trust your oral surgeon with the procedure. After all, just because you\u2019ve changed a tire before doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re the best person to handle your most complex auto needs. For a high quality tooth replacement, you can\u2019t do better than dental implants — and there\u2019s no one better to perform the surgery than <\/span>Dr. Steve L. Koo<\/span><\/a> at Piney Point Dental Implant Center!<\/span>\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dental Implants: Best With an Oral Surgeon<\/span><\/h2>\r\nTake a quick drive down I-10 and you\u2019ll see a number of billboards boasting faster, better, cheaper dental implants. Heavy marketing might lead you to believe that dental implants are a simple procedure — but that\u2019s just not true. Dental implants are placed in an oral surgery, and depending on the health of your jawbone before placement, you may also need a preliminary bone augmentation procedure (grafting or sinus lift) as well. The most successful dental implants take time, care, and are performed by an experienced oral surgeon. <\/span>\r\n\r\nOral and maxillofacial surgeons like Dr. Koo have undergone substantial surgical training beyond their general dentistry education. That includes an additional four year residency in the hospital setting and one year of anesthesia training. Oral surgeons are able to anticipate, diagnose, and treat a range of potential surgical complications — hands-on experience dentists typically do not face in private practice. <\/span>\r\n\r\nMost dental implant procedures are successful and free of complications. But in the rare event that something unexpected does occur during your implant placement, you can feel confident knowing that an oral surgeon like Dr. Koo is on the case. <\/span>\r\n

Why Choose an Oral Surgeon?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n
