Every stage is handled by its own specialist
The implant is placed by an implantologist. The crown and the veneer are made by a prosthodontist. The canal is treated by a general dentist. There is no "all-purpose dentist" at the clinic doing everything in turn: each stage is the responsibility of a doctor for whom it is their main speciality.
Who does what
Treatment is divided into stages, and each one has its own doctor. Here is who is responsible for what.
Implantologist
The surgical stage: placing implants, bone grafting and sinus lifts when there is not enough of your own bone. Plans the position of every implant from the CT scan and is responsible for integration. The same doctor places the supports for All-on-4 and All-on-6.
Prosthodontist
Everything that goes onto teeth and implants: veneers, crowns, bridges, fixed prostheses. Responsible for the shape, the colour and the bite — for how the smile looks and how you chew with it. This doctor runs the digital smile design and the try-in.
General dentist and endodontist
Treatment of decay and root canals, including under a microscope. Their task is to save the tooth if that is still possible and to prepare it for prosthetic work. The same doctor watches the state of the gums before aesthetic work.
Orthodontist
The position of the teeth and the bite: aligners for straightening without braces. Brought in when aesthetics alone will not solve the task and the teeth first have to be moved into the right position.
Why this matters more than it seems
Dividing the work by speciality is not a formality — the result depends on it directly.
No one can be equally strong at everything
Implantology, prosthodontics and endodontics are three different professions within dentistry. A doctor who does all of them at once comes second, in each one, to a doctor who does only that.
Stages are handed over inside the clinic
You are not sent somewhere else "for the surgery" and then returned with someone else's work. The implantologist and the prosthodontist work in the same clinic and discuss your case with each other.
The plan is put together jointly
If both implants and crowns are needed, both doctors draw up the plan: the surgeon looks at where the implants will go, the prosthodontist at how the prosthesis will sit on them. Otherwise you end up with beautiful work on badly placed supports.
Responsibility for your own stage
Each doctor answers for what they did. If a question comes up a year later, it is clear who it concerns — and that specialist has not gone anywhere.
How you get to know your doctor
Together with the treatment plan
Once the doctor has assessed your case and drawn up the plan, you learn exactly who will be looking after you and what their speciality is.
At the first appointment
The doctor carries out the examination and talks the plan through: what we are doing, in what order and why this way. Not the coordinator relaying it, but the doctor in person.
With an interpreter
An interpreter is there at the appointment, so you can ask your question right in the chair and get an answer on the spot, rather than in a messenger that evening.
In touch after you leave
Once you are back home, questions about your own treatment are handled by the same doctor who carried it out.
