Dental implant, who should do it?

I had a root canal and Apico now am looking forward (ha) to a dental implant. The original Apico was done by an endodontist, and he did originally did tell me it might fail, after getting infected and being on antibiotics, but has been fine for several years. Recently my regular periodontist told me that the tooth did not look good, and said I might need a bridge or implant, neither of which he does. So he sent me to my dentist and he discussed it with me, and since a bridge is not a good idea -it is a close to front tooth and the bridge would mean ruining 2 good teeth-- he advised me on the implant. The dentist does not do it either but recommended me to his periodontist, who is at his office once a week. My original periodontist, was recommended by him several years ago, guess before he had one on staff. I asked about going back to the original endodontist, and he said that is up to me that they (this perio, and the endo) both could do it , it is up to me. Which do I choose?

I would go to whoever was most qualified to do the job correctly the first time around. You may wabt to expand your search and look for others who specialize in this type of dentistry. Just research it very well as not all dentists who do this sort of thing are good at it.
Reply:I have never heard of endodontists doing implants. But I definitely have heard of periodontists doing them. Periodontists are usually very careful with soft tissues (gums), so I would recommend the periodontist, especially if it is in an esthetic area.
Reply:do you want this done
