FAGD
The FAGD acronym stands for “Fellow in the Academy of General Dentistry.” It is one of the most prestigious awards in dentistry and designates that the awarded dentist has achieved clear standing of excellence within their profession. Only 6% of dentists in North America have attained this achievement.
Implants
What sets a dental implant dentist apart from a general dentist?
Dental implant dentists are dentists who have completed additional training in the placement and management of dental implants. This extra training allows them to place and restore dental implants with greater accuracy and expertise than general dentists. While a general dentist will have a suffix of DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or DMD (Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry or Doctor of Dental Medicine), an implant dentist will have additional titles.
