WHY TRAINING MATTERS
Why Have an Oral Surgeon Place Your Implants?
Plenty of dentists offer implants, and their surgical training varies a lot. Here is what a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon brings to your care.
01
Six years of hospital surgical training
After dental school, Dr. Chaliff completed a six-year oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center and earned his medical degree along the way. Many implant courses for general dentists last days or weeks.
02
Board certified in oral surgery
He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, which means passing written and oral board exams after residency.
03
Your surgeon handles your anesthesia
He is trained and permitted to provide IV sedation and general anesthesia right in the office, with your breathing, heart rate, and oxygen monitored the whole time.
04
Ready for the harder cases
Bone grafts, sinus lifts, failing teeth, and tricky anatomy are everyday oral surgery. They are planned and handled in one office instead of being sent somewhere else.
