Who does what? Oral surgeons and periodontists usually place the implant; prosthodontists design and fit the teeth on top, including full-arch fixed bridges (often marketed as “All-on-4”). Many cases use a surgeon and a restorative dentist together, so ask who is responsible for each step.

Where this data comes from

Common questions

Which kind of dentist should place my implant?

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons and periodontists are trained to place implants surgically; prosthodontists specialize in the teeth that attach to them and in complex and full-arch cases. General dentists may also place implants. What matters most is experience with your type of case — ask how many they do and who handles each step.

What is “All-on-4”?

All-on-4® is Nobel Biocare's trademarked name for one full-arch technique: a fixed bridge of teeth supported by four implants. Many practices offer similar full-arch fixed bridges under other names, with four or more implants. Ask what system and how many implants your plan uses.

Does insurance or Medicare pay for implants?

Original Medicare generally does not cover dental implants or dentures (see Medicare.gov). Some Medicare Advantage and private dental plans pay part of the cost up to an annual maximum. Ask for a written treatment plan with procedure codes and check with your plan before you start.

What does “Registered specialist” mean on this site?

The provider's NPI is active and its primary registered taxonomy is prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery or periodontics. The taxonomy is self-reported to NPPES; confirm the license with your state dental board and board certification with the specialty board.

Why do I see both a practice and individual dentists at one address?

Practices often have an organization NPI and each dentist has an individual NPI. We list both so you can search by practice or by dentist.

How do I correct or claim my listing?

Use the for-business page. Address, phone or specialty changes should also be made in NPPES, which is where this listing comes from.
