Why Choose an AAID-Credentialed Dentist for Dental Implants?
Dental implants can be a life-changing improvement for stabilizing oral health and easing the functions of eating, drinking, and speaking after tooth loss. For many patients, this worthwhile investment is a big decision, which may weigh heavily on finding the right dentist to effectively and successfully place dental implants. When searching for a qualified, extensively trained, and experienced implant dentist, it can be helpful to consider their credentials and affiliations. One to keep in mind is the American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID) – the first professional organization in the world dedicated to implant dentistry. As one of the country’s top providers in implant dentistry, as well as one who serves as a Fellow of the AAID and its Vice President, our New Jersey implant dentist, John D. Beckwith, DMD, has valuable insights about the importance of these types of credentials.
For more than 70 years, the AAID has worked to progress the science and practice of implant dentistry through education, advocacy, and research support. Implant dentists with accreditation from this prestigious dental implant organization, such as Dr. Beckwith, serve as credentialing representatives for the profession and advocates for their patients. The AAID helps to provide standard levels of care in the field of dental implantology and can make a big difference in the success of dental implant procedures. AAID-credentialed dentists have specialized experience and insights, including:
- Affiliations with members who have invented certain dental implant techniques and technology
- A full commitment to the advancing field of implant dentistry
- Specific knowledge and instruction, such as how health conditions and medications can affect dental implant patients
- A better understanding of how to correct complications that may occur during surgery
AAID-credentialed dentists also hold one of the highest distinctions of competency in the field of dental implantology, and they regularly pursue continuing dental education to further their knowledge and skills with implant dentistry techniques.
