So you’ve taken the time to properly research dental implants and believe that it can provide the type of results that you are looking for. However, determining whether you want to use dental implants for your tooth restoration treatment is only half the battle. Now, you will need to find a dental implant provider to place your implants and guide you through the implant process. It is important that Bethlehem, PA patients realize that not every implant provider has the same kind of experience. In fact, some doctors may simply take a couple of weekend courses, some of which don’t even have them practicing on real patients, before they begin to offer the treatment. Fortunately, there are some questions you can ask your potential implant provider that can help you determine whether or not they have what it takes to ensure the best possible results.
Education and Experience
A quality dental education is simply not enough to ensure that your potential implant provider can guarantee you the best results. As dental implants are actually an extra-curricular treatment, there are actually many dentists who don’t even provide the treatment to their patients. When it comes to finding out if your dentist has the proper education and experience to perform your implant placement, you should ask questions such as:
- What courses have you taken in providing dental implants?
- Do you participate in continuing education courses in relation to dental implant treatment?
- How many dental implants do you place a year?
Dr. Ahmad Chaudhry is a trained oral and maxillofacial surgeon. This means that he has taken courses specifically geared toward performing surgical procedures such as implant placement and bone grafting. In addition to this training, Dr. Chaudhry attends numerous implant conferences and lectures, and even leads his own implant study club. He has placed well over a thousand dental implants over the years, and performed hundreds of bone grafting procedures.
Focus Placed on Implants
You probably want to work with a doctor who places more interest in dental implant treatment than one who emphasizes other types of cosmetic or restoration treatment. The fact is, you will want to work with a doctor who has a proven track record for providing his or her patients with the best possible implant results. You should ask questions such as:
- Can I see before and after photos of previous implant patients?
- What is your success rate using dental implants?
- Can you help me finance my implant treatment?

Not many patients realize how inconvenient it can be to work with a dental implant practice that is far from where they live. Having to travel long distances to reach your implant provider can actually greatly affect the overall cost of your implant treatment, as you will need to factor in the cost of gas and other vehicular maintenance.
