Choosing a Maxillofacial Surgeon vs. a Regular Dentist for Dental Implants

When it comes to Dental Implant Procedures, the expertise of the treating professional determines not just the success rate but also the long-term stability of your new teeth. While regular dentists handle routine oral care, a maxillofacial surgeon brings advanced surgical knowledge and anatomical precision, especially for complex cases requiring immediate-functional loading implants.

In immediate-functional loading systems such as CorticoBasal® Implants, implants are anchored directly into the cortical bone and loaded with fixed teeth within 48 to 72 hours. These implants do not require bone grafting, sinus lifts, or long healing periods, making the surgeon’s anatomical understanding even more critical.

Understanding the Difference

The table below highlights the key distinctions between a maxillofacial surgeon and a regular dentist when it comes to full-mouth restoration and immediate-loading implantology:
