As dental implants are the best way to replace your missing teeth, you’ll definitely want to make sure you choose an experienced, knowledgeable dentist to handle the procedure. Training definitely matters; you’ll get better results from a dentist who is up to date with the latest techniques. Dr. Scott has gone out of his way to expand his education in the field of dental implants through the Zimmer Institute, where he was trained in placing state-of-the-art All-on-4 implant systems. He is also able to complete both stages of the implant procedure (placement and restoration) in-house for your convenience.
Seeing a dentist every six months for preventive care can help you save money by preventing serious dental issues that might require expensive treatments. If you have access to dental insurance, it’s best to take advantage of it to reduce the out-of-pocket costs of your care. Those without insurance can consider financing through CareCredit, which breaks up the cost of care into smaller installments with little interest attached. If you have any doubts about your ability to pay for dental care, check with your healthcare provider to see what options you might have for managing costs better.
All dentists in the United States need a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) from one of 67 accredited dental schools. To enroll in dental school, you first need a bachelor’s degree in a major heavy in math and sciences. Dental school usually takes about 3 years, but even after graduation, a dentist is required to complete a certain number of continuing education hours to keep their license. Dr. Scott takes his continuing education very seriously, undergoing extensive training in implant dentistry and pursuing his interest in dental esthetics by training in Botox and Dermal fillers.
Losing a tooth in an accident or experiencing a sudden painful toothache calls for immediate dental attention.
