A guide to Greer's periodontal implant specialists: what the procedure involves, how to vet a provider, and how our rankings work.
Periodontists handle the parts of implant work that general dentists often refer out: bone grafting, sinus lifts, gum grafting, and placing implants in patients with a history of gum disease or thin bone. If you've been told you need "extra prep" before an implant, or you're replacing teeth lost to periodontitis, you're likely looking for this kind of specialist rather than a general dentist. Greer has 17 practices in this category, ranging from solo periodontists to multi-provider clinics that also handle general restorative work.
When comparing providers, look past the marketing photos and check a few concrete things: whether the practice takes 3D CT scans in-house (this affects planning accuracy), whether the periodontist or a referred surgeon does the actual placement, what materials and implant brands they use, and how they handle complications like graft failure or infection. Ask how many implant cases they do in a typical month. A practice that places a handful a year is a different proposition than one doing dozens.
Our scoring weighs verified patient feedback, credentials, transparency around pricing and treatment planning, and consistency of outcomes over time, not just star averages.
