Dental implants are an investment, so it’s important to take the time to find the best dental implant specialist near you in order to ensure that you get the results you deserve. Unfortunately, there are many dentists who claim to be dental implant experts, but don’t have the education, training, and experience to back up those claims. Although we hope you’ll choose Champagne Smiles if you need dental implants in Monmouth County, NJ, ultimately, we simply want you to be an informed patient and choose a qualified dental implant provider. Here’s what to look for when determining who is best qualified to do dental implants in your area.
All-in-One Dental Implant Service
Whenever possible, find a practice that handles all aspects of dental implants in-house, under one roof. It can be difficult to coordinate care when there are a number of practices providing services—periodontists, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and dentists can all be involved in different steps of the dental implant process, and keeping track of so many appointments with so many doctors can be a headache.
At Champagne Smiles, we make it easy for our patients—we’re well-known as New Jersey’s Premier Dental Implant Team All Under One Roof. Each of our doctors brings a unique perspective and skillset to the table in order to offer comprehensive dental implant service to our patients. You’ll never have to worry about facilitating communication between different providers or coordinating appointments at different dental practices.
Dental Implant Options
Some dental practices only offer a few types of dental implants and when your options are limited, it means you might not be getting the best type of restoration for your needs.
If, for example, you’ve lost bone mass in the jaw, you may need to get bone grafting before your procedure if your dentist doesn’t offer mini dental implants or full arch with only four implant procedures. Champagne Smiles provides patients with a range of options for their dental implant restorations, so we’ll always be able to choose the procedure that’s truly best for you.
Dental Implant Technology
Whether you’re getting dental implants or any other procedure, you should always ask about the technology your dentist uses. It’s not just about having the latest bells and whistles—it’s about patient safety and treatment outcomes.
In addition to using state-of-the-art digital radiography and imaging technology, we use guided implant placement to plan your dental implant procedure. The best dental implant dentists utilize this software to create custom surgical guides that detail the precise angle and depth for each implant.
Dental Implant Training, Credentials, and Awards
Don’t be shy about asking potential dental implant specialists about the education and training they’ve had in implant dentistry. Most are proud to share this information right on their websites. Dental implant placement isn’t the type of skill that can be learned on the job—you want to know that your dentist was specifically trained in dental implant placement and that they take continuing education courses in order to stay up-to-date on the latest in the field.
Dr. Champagne doesn’t just take continuing education courses—he teaches the next generation of dentists at Rutgers Dental School and Monmouth Medical Center, and lectures at many dental associations and study groups. He has the honor of being named an Associate Fellow in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry and a Master in the Academy of General Dentistry, something less than one percent of dentists are able to achieve. Champagne Smiles is recognized as one of the best dentists in Monmouth County by America’s Best Dentists, NJ Top Dentists, and Asbury Park Press.
Amenities, Environment, and Other Considerations
While we put these at the bottom of our list for how to find a dental implant specialist near you, that doesn’t mean they don’t matter at all. If all else is equal and you’re still deciding between two or more practices, think about your comfort level in the office. You’ll be spending a lot of time there over the next several months, so you should like your dentist and his or her staff and feel welcome at their practice.
We strive to make every visit to Champagne Smiles as relaxing as possible by offering a spa-like experience with warm neck wraps, paraffin hot wax mitts, satellite radio and cable television. We’ll even offer you a warm blanket on cold winter days to help keep you cozy during your appointment. For your comfort, we offer a range of sedation options and the services of a board-certified anesthesiologist during your dental implant surgery.
