Dental Implants Success Rates
Dental Implant Complications Are More Frequent When Performed by an Inexperienced Dentist
Dental implants have become more popular in recent years, with many people seeking to use them to improve their smiles and boost their self-confidence. Unfortunately, this surge in popularity has also led to a rise in injuries related to implant procedures. In fact, reports of problems with dental implants reached almost 500,000 in the last year alone.
While any general dentist is legally allowed to place implants, there is no universal requirement for dental students to learn how to perform these procedures as part of their training. This means that some dentists may attempt to perform implant procedures without sufficient experience or qualifications. This is similar to a student driver being given a license without ever having driven a car.
Over the past 25 years, reports of problems with dental implants have surpassed 3.1 million in number. At our specialty implant center, we have seen firsthand the complications that can arise when inexperienced dentists attempt to perform these procedures. We urge anyone considering dental implants to do their research and choose a qualified and experienced provider, whether that's us or someone else.
The success rate, under optimal conditions and when performed by specialists like the Florida Dental Implant Institute, is approximately 99%. The success rate when performed by a general dentist falls to around 80%. Don't risk implant failure by choosing an inexperienced dentist.
Questions to Ask When Searching for an Implant Dentist
Why Choosing a Board-Certified Specialist Increases the Success Rate
Having dental implants can make a big difference in your life, both in terms of daily comfort and overall health. While some general dentists are qualified to place dental implants, they may not have the same level of specialized training as oral and maxillofacial surgeons. These surgeons have extensive training in both dentistry and medicine, which means they're able to treat patients with a wider variety of medical conditions and needs. If you're considering dental implants, it's worth considering an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to ensure the best possible outcome.
Our surgeon, Dr. Nathan Eberle, is among a select few elite surgeons in the country to have achieved degrees in oral and maxillofacial surgery as well as plastic surgery. In addition, he is double board-certified and has received numerous prestigious awards and honors because of his superior level of training, experience, and skill.
Both locally and nationally known, Dr. Eberle is considered one of the best surgeons in the region and has the expertise to not only provide complex smile rehabilitation but also tailored cosmetic treatments that can perfect your new look.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the success rate for dental implants?
The success rate, under optimal conditions and when performed by specialists like the Florida Dental Implant Institute, is approximately 99%. When performed by a general dentist who might not be experienced or qualified, can fall to approximately 80%.
How does the expertise of a specialist enhance the success rate of dental implants?
Specialists undergo thorough training in the intricacies of the jaw, bone structure, and gum tissue, as well as in the surgical techniques that are specific to dental implants. Their expertise in managing complex cases, preventing, identifying, and treating complications, significantly improves the success rate and longevity of the implants.
Why might dental implants have a lower success rate when performed by an inexperienced dentist?
While many general dentists are capable of placing dental implants, they may not have the same level of specialized training and experience as specialists. Complex cases, such as those that require bone grafts or dealing with significant bone loss, may pose challenges that can affect the success rate of implants placed by general dentists.
Do I need a referral to schedule a consultation at your office?
No, while many general dentists refer patients to us, you can book an appointment directly with one of our scheduling coordinators, or you can book online.
Can I consult a specialist for dental implants if I'm already seeing a general dentist?
Yes, a lot of patients are referred to our practice by their general dentist. However, in case your general dentist recommends dental implants to be placed at their office, we highly advise you to seek a second opinion from a specialist such as us.
