"Dr. Akef is an excellent technician. He treated my periodontal disease successfully and completed three dental implants with bone grafts since I didn’t have enough bone for the implants. I’m very happy with the results and have even referred him to family members." – Mike Cummings

  • Healthy Teeth Remain Intact: Unlike bridges, dental implants don’t require filing down adjacent healthy teeth.
  • Minimal Maintenance: Dental implants require little to no replacement or repair compared to traditional tooth replacement methods.

Why Experience Matters for Implant Success

The success of your dental implant procedure is heavily influenced by the experience of your surgeon. Studies have shown that implant failure rates are significantly higher among inexperienced clinicians. Research from Loma Linda University’s School of Dentistry revealed that inexperienced surgeons are more likely to encounter complications, leading to implant failure. Choosing an expert like Dr. Akef, who has decades of practical know-how, ensures you’re in the best hands possible.

  • Quality Of Dentist’s Experience Decides Success or Failure Of Your Implant

    Studies support Dr. Akef’s emphasis on the value of practical know-how. The latest research suggests that experience is a critical factor when choosing the dentist to perform your implant. In fact, the experience and skill of the doctor are one of the primary considerations impacting the success or failure of your implant procedure.

    A study carried out at the Center for Implant Dentistry at Loma Linda University’s School of Dentistry found that among inexperienced clinicians implant failure was higher. Another study, “Reasons for Failures of Oral Implants,” concluded that “inexperienced surgeons inserting the implants” increased probability of implant failure. Dentists who lack quality experience or consider dental implants as an “also business” are detrimental to your oral and general health.
