Will they be considered endodontists, periodontists? I'm confused. And when I make an appointment, what questions do I need to cover? Thanks for any and all help!
Where can I find a dentist who specializes in dental implants in Los Angeles County?
They are called Prosthodontists. Prostho from prosthetic meaning artificial. Implants are artificial teeth but when planned and designed well work just as well as your own teeth.
Endodontists do root canals and Periodontists do gum surgeries.
Go to the website

Prosthodontists belong to the dental specialty that are trained to treatment plan, design and restore implants. Some non-specialists (general or cosmetic or family dentists) do implants also because they want to make money but are not trained to do so. Sometimes they pick up skills by going to weekend courses in Hawaii, Las Vegas or some golf resort in Florida - but prosthodontists go through a rigorous residency program that is accredited by ADA. In my opinion a good Prosthodontist would be your best bet.
Reply:Geez, I'd think you'd be tripping over them down there. Them and plastic surgeons...
