Why Experience, Collaboration, and Credentials Matter More Than Price

Getting full-mouth dental implants is one of the most life-changing decisions you’ll ever make — and one of the most complex procedures in modern dentistry. That’s why choosing the right clinical team is far more important than just looking at the lowest price.

At Vitality, we believe your treatment should never be dictated by salespeople or generalists with minimal training. Instead, it should be led by a carefully selected team of experts working together with one goal in mind: your long-term success.

Why Full-Mouth Implants Require a Team — Not Just One Provider

Unlike basic dental procedures, full-arch restoration demands precision planning, surgical skill, prosthetic design expertise, and sometimes even medical insight into your systemic health.

At Vitality, your care is handled by:

A board-certified oral & maxillofacial surgeon with years of focused surgical experience
An implant prosthodontist who designs and delivers your final teeth
A longevity medicine physician who ensures your overall health supports your outcome

This interdisciplinary approach ensures your results are not only beautiful, but also stable, functional, and optimized for your long-term wellness.

General Dentist vs. Surgical Specialist: Know the Difference

Many clinics advertise low-cost full mouth implants, but few disclose that the procedures are often performed by general dentists who’ve only completed a few weekend courses.

Here’s the reality:

There is no official qualification required to offer full-mouth implants
Some providers present salespeople as “treatment coordinators” who are not licensed to provide clinical advice
Inexperienced planning can lead to poor bite, implant overload, breakages, and even failure

Always ask:

“Is my surgery being performed by a maxillofacial surgeon, or a general dentist?”

Questions to Ask Before Choosing Your Implant Team

Who places the implants and who designs the teeth? Ensure the team includes both a surgical and prosthetic specialist.
What is your longest patient follow-up? Long-term success matters more than short-term volume.
Have you published or taught others in this field? Thought leadership is a good indicator of deep expertise.
Can I see real before-and-after photos of your work? Authentic clinical photos — not stock images — build trust.
Will I meet the surgeon and prosthodontist before I commit? Avoid clinics where a salesperson presents your treatment plan.
