Can only dentists buy the parts to an implant?

Yes, but confused: First, dental manufacturers will only sell products such as these to licensed dentists and dental lab technicians. In any case, it is your surgeon who will supply and place the dental implant fixture and your restorative dentist (they may be one in the same) who will order, fabricate and insert the rest of the implant components. You, as the patient will agree to the treatment plan & pay the bill.

Buy Implants parts ?: Yes a license dds is the only person to buy certified sterile parts from a license vendor. However with the advent of ebay/craigslist etc. Just about anybody can buy anything. However, you would want only a trained dds surgeon with hundreds of training to place them. The implant fee is to help defray his training costs, not really the parts. To economize go to a dental school.
