Need A Dental Implant? See an Oral Surgeon.

Most dentists do not place dental implants. They refer their patients to oral surgeons, who do many types of mouth and jaw surgeries, but perform so many dental implants, some have found themselves being called a dental implant dentist. The difference between dentists and oral surgeons is training. Oral surgeons are trained on more complex procedures than dentists, as well as the anesthesia needed for these surgeries. Dr. Scott Puckett of Wilmington Oral Surgery is an oral surgeon who has been in private practice for two decades. He places dental implants every day, and very few patients have experienced complications. Our patients are so satisfied with the work of our staff, most of our new patients come from existing patient referrals. Patients come from as far away as Cincinnati and Columbus to see Dr. Puckett. An hour’s drive is nothing for a worry-free medical procedure from a doctor you can trust.
