A Periodontist is a specialist in periodontics and implant surgery with 3-4 years of additional education beyond dental school.

If you're not seeing a specialist for specialty care, chances are your dentist's "training" was a weekend class.
The American Dental Association does NOT recognize "Implantology" as a specialty. "Implant specialist" is a marketing term, not an actual specialty.
