Questions to ask when selecting an implant dentist to restore your missing teeth. 

 Just as you would with any medical or surgical procedure, you should ask questions about the implant dentist’s experience to make sure the dental professional is qualified and can provide you with the best treatment. Suggested questions include:

• What treatment options do you use to restore missing teeth?
• How many dental implant procedures have you performed?
• What’s your success rate?
• What’s your education and training in dental implant treatment?
•  Which technique and type of replacement teeth or appliance do you recommend for me, and why?
• What steps are involved in the process and where and by whom are they performed?
• What should I expect throughout the process in terms of pain, recovery time, eating, etc.?
• Will I have teeth throughout the process?
• What type of anesthesia do you use?
• What are the risks of the treatment option you're recommending?
• What are the benefits?
• Can you share before-and-after pictures of other patients you have treated?
