THE IMPLANT
As important as it is to know who is placing your dental implant, it is equally important to know what type of implant is placed in your mouth.
As the dental implant industry is expanding and developing, there are thousands and thousands of different implant brands out the there. One is not necessarily better than another, but it is important that the actual implant manufacturer meets certain quality and safety criteria.
