It's no secret that dental implants have become increasingly popular in recent years. With more and more people opting for these permanent tooth replacements, it's no wonder that dentists specializing in implantology are seeing a boom in business.

But what about general practitioners? Aren't they missing out on this lucrative opportunity?

  3. Their patients may not trust them with such a critical procedure, preferring to go to a specialist they know has the expertise needed.
