If you are considering dental implants in Chandigarh, there are many dentists who will offer to place them for you. With the popularity of dental implants, general dentists may offer the procedure, but if you are looking for the best outcome and overall experience it’s important to choose a surgical specialist for your procedure. There are two dental surgical specialties, oral maxillofacial surgeons and periodontal surgeons. As a specialist in the gum and bone surrounding teeth and implants, a periodontist has the most relevant skills to ensure comfortable, long-lasting, highly aesthetic results.
What is a Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dental specialist focused on the tissues that surround and support your teeth–and dental implants. This includes the gum, periodontal ligaments, and bone that support both teeth and implants.
Why go to a Periodontist for Dental Implants?
Periodontists complete dental school like all dentists, then they receive an additional three years of intense training focused on the biology of the mouth and how to best perform oral surgical procedures for the best possible long-term results. This education provides them with a depth of understanding and expertise in oral health, biology, and cosmetic oral surgery unmatched in any other field of dentistry. Periodontists are highly skilled and knowledgeable surgical specialists expertly qualified for gum disease treatment, gum recession reversal, tooth removal, bone grafting, or placement of dental implants.

The Advantages of Going to a Periodontist for Dental Implants
Extensive Training on Implant Planning and Placement
Periodontists receive three years additional training after their dental degree that is focused on gum and implant treatment. In practice, they perform surgery on a regular basis. They are experts at evaluating the condition of surrounding gum and bone tissue and can do any procedure needed that is connected to placing implants. They can also evaluate whether an implant is really needed for a troubled tooth. Dr. Jyoti Bhatia is a strong believer in saving teeth where he can, and he can determine whether a tooth should be replaced with an implant or saved.
Can Successfully Treat Complex Cases and Avoid Complications
Every case is different and requires careful study and planning. Periodontists have many years of experience with all kinds of implant cases. Dr. Jyoti Bhatia uses a state-of-the-art 3D system to capture 3D, 360º images to thoroughly review teeth, jaw, nerves, volume of bone, position of the sinuses and other factors that could influence the implant surgery. He pre-plans the surgery so that on the day of surgery it goes forward efficiently and without complications.
High Success Rates and Reduced Risk of Implant Failure
While modern implants generally have great success, there is always the possibility of failure. This generally occurs because of poor initial placement or poor preparation of the implant placement site, and comes about as a result of insufficient training and experience in implant surgery. Periodontists have the training and experience to do surgery that will be successful, and to avoid problems that could make an implant fail. Using 3D software and his extensive experience, Dr. Jyoti Bhatia can detect or predict issues and plan to avoid them. He can also efficiently handle anything that comes up during surgery.
