How to find the right
basal implant dentist?
It’s difficult to find the right implant dentist. Most patients who search for basal dental implants suffer from acute dental conditions: missing teeth, severe bone loss, advanced gum disease. And some cannot have conventional dental implants because they have diabetes, bruxism or because they smoke.
Basal dental implants are the best solution for these patients. But choosing the right basal implant dentist still requires careful consideration.
A full dental restoration is a significant financial investment. It is also a risk because each patient is different and not all implant dentists, even those who practice basal implantology don’t have the same level of experience. Here is a checklist of criteria to help you choose the right basal implant dentist for you based on your condition and requirements as well as location and budget.

the right basal implant dentist.”
The Basal Implant Association.
Dental Qualifications
Verify the dentist’s qualifications. Each basal implant dentist receives a certificate or diploma for his specialization in basal implantology. It can be from a basal implant manufacturer that gives advanced courses for implant dentists or from a university. Each registered basal implant dentist in our international directory has information on his diplomas and qualifications.
Experience
Each profile in the directory of basal implant dentists includes the number of years they have practiced basal implantology. The more procedures a dentist has performed, the more skilled they typically are at managing complex cases and potential complications. Some basal implant dentists specialize in more complex cases of patients who suffer from severe bone atrophy.
Results
The registered implant dentists in the directory showcase before-and-after photos of their implantations and dental restorations. There are also patient reviews and many video testimonials available on YouTube. Reviewing these can give you a good sense of the quality and aesthetics the dentist consistently achieves. Check for patients that have a similar dental condition to yours in order to see the potential results. But, please remember that all patients are different. And review patient testimonials to understand how the dentist handles patient care, communication, comfort during and after the procedure. Note the overall satisfaction. We update regularly the case studies for full mouth dental restoration with basal implants.
Implants and Crowns
All basal dental implants are made from titanium. Check the brand of the implants. Ask what type of crowns you will have: ceramic, PFM, metal-ceramic, composite or zirconium. The dental bridges can be made from different materials making them of different levels of quality both esthetically and durability. Ask your dentist what brands they use and why they recommend those materials for you. Check our list of recognized basal dental implant manufacturers and the reviews for each one.

Pain Management
The implantation should be mostly without pain and discomfort. Before the procedure the dentist should apply an anesthesia. Most dentists use a local anesthetic made from articain. It is contra-indicated with the use of cocaine. So, it is important to inform the dentist if you consume drugs. Some dentists practice a full sedation on demand. It requires additional tests and procedures as well as the presence of an anesthetist. Check what are the options for sedation. After the procedure you should be given pain killers that are most commonly anti-inflammatories NSAID. Check if the sedation and pain killers are included in the price of the procedure.
Aftercare
Ask the dentist what aftercare is provided. Who is your main point of contact? What are the timelines and solutions for any problems that may arise. Check how they respond to your enquiries. The dentist’s response can offer valuable insights into their approach.
Guarantee
Ask the dentist to confirm guarantees or warranties for the dental implants, the dental bridge and crowns as well as the overall treatment. Ask what happens if there is a problem? What are the expected costs?
Budget Calculation
Location matters, especially if multiple visits are necessary. Plan a budget that includes two visits to the dentist even if the entire procedure will be completed in a single visit. You will need to go back for a check up within 4 to 6 months. Calculate all potential travel costs, including flights, hotels and transfers if you are travelling abroad.

Hidden Costs
Ask for a detailed quote in writing that outlines all the costs. Check if travel is included or not. Check if consultation fees, dental imaging, the anesthesia, the medication and aftercare are included. Confirm the number of visits required and inquire explicitly about any possible hidden costs. We offer a service where we can check for you the completeness of a dental quote. But, we do not provide any dental advice.
The Risks
Choosing a dentist has risks. But, staying without teeth and wearing dentures is not a good long-term solution either. That is why we try to help you by providing clear informative content, a directory of registered basal implant dentists worldwide. Always assess the risks and the benefits rationally.
Selecting the wrong implant dentist can result in complications such as infections, nerve damage, implant failure, or unsatisfactory results. Poor-quality implants or crowns may break or fail prematurely, leading to additional costs and treatment. Additionally, inadequate aftercare can result in ongoing discomfort, prolonged healing times, or permanent damage to surrounding teeth and gums. Investing time to carefully select your dentist helps prevent these risks and ensures a successful, lasting outcome.
Make the Right Choice
Choosing the right implant dentist is about feeling confident and comfortable with your decision. By carefully evaluating qualifications, experience, patient reviews, brand of implant, pain management, aftercare, location, and transparent costs, you set yourself up for a successful, stress-free experience that will change your life.
Remember, the right dentist not only restores your teeth but also enhances your quality of life through a healthy, beautiful smile.
