A member asked:
Two implants were screwed into my jaw by periodontist. when osseointegrated, can a recent dental school grad usually be good enough to place crowns?

Assuming: Assuming the recent dental school graduate has enough training and experience, she/he should be capable to place the abutment and crown on some implants. Every individual, whether a recent graduate or a seasoned dentist fall somewhere on the range of proficiency from fair to outstanding.

Dental License: The license itself signifies proficiency in the field. Obviously experience plays a role in the practitioner's skills and confidence. If the dentist is confident enough to restore your implants, and you are confident enough in the dentist, then you should be fine.
