There are many different types of dental clinics, even abroad. The differences between low-cost and premium clinics are many, first and foremost, the competence of the surgeon who will perform your dental implant surgery.

But what is a maxillofacial surgeon and what does he/she do? We are talking about a professional who is specialized in surgical interventions involving the facial bones, precisely the maxillary and mandibular bone.

A 5-year specialization that can only be accessed by those with a degree in surgery. On the other hand, oral dental surgery is a different matter: oral surgery is a 3-year, odontostomatologic specialty, i.e., reserved exclusively for graduates of dentistry and dental prosthetics.

Having maxillofacial surgeons available for dental procedures is a decidedly exclusive service. In fact, in most dental clinics, abroad but also in the UK, the dentist who is not specialized in maxillofacial surgery is the one who performs the intervention directly.

But is it particularly important to have this practice available? Although it is not mandatory, it is definitely recommended, even more in cases where sinus lift and bone augmentation are needed.

Providing to patients, surgeons with such competence is obviously a cost for a Dental Clinic but it is also one of the main differences between Premium Clinics, such as the Gremi Clinic, and so-called low-cost Clinics.

Being able to benefit from maxillofacial surgeons is, in fact, an undisputed guarantee in terms of the success of the interventions. It is not by chance that we speak of a success rate of more than 98% of surgeries, which is witnessed every day by the characters of the smiles who share their stories with our Community on the website and on our social media channels.

Patients do not always know how to differentiate among the different professionals involved in implant dentistry. For many people, the word “dentist” sums up the many skills involved in the field of dental surgery.

Let’s get this straight, we are not talking about “abuse of the profession” as the dentist is also authorized to perform implant surgeries however, the maxillofacial surgeon, assures the procedure is performed by a professional who has been perfected over the years, during his or her medical studies and through masters and graduate schools, in everything that affects the facial bones.

Maxillofacial surgeons generally are accustomed to much more complex procedures than dental implantology, including interventions involving the facial bone structures, such as fractures or trauma, for example, and this is why they work in hospital-based health facilities. Being able to have these figures in a Dental Clinic is, therefore, a synonym for greater safety of the interventions and allows them to intervene in less time and with less pain at the expense of the patients.

In fact, this type of professionals masters even the most delicate situations to perfection and is able to make use of modern technologies such as computer-guided implantology, which allows minimally invasive, high-precision procedures without using a scalpel. It is thus, possible, to achieve generally in two sessions, six months apart, the complete placement of the patient’s implants.

Innovative but we know that the eye also wants its share. Surgeries performed by maxillofacial professionals also allow for maximum aesthetic success. Therefore, in addition to being the most successful surgeries in terms of masticatory and structural function, they are also those that minimize blemishes to give the patient a natural gum and the new teeth effect.

Gremi has been a synonym for quality and reliability for over twelve years; this is also thanks to our maxillofacial surgeons who are always present in dental implant surgeries.

From the initial evaluation phase, the patient meets the surgeon who explains the most suitable surgery plan for his case and will take care of his work: from the bone reconstruction phase, where necessary, to the placement of the implants!
