No, you do not. I handle the entire process from start to finish right here in our Bastrop office. Many people are surprised to learn that getting an implant usually involves bouncing between an oral surgeon for the surgery and a general dentist months later for the final crown. Because I do both the surgical placement and the restorative work, you only ever have to see me.
It also keeps the business side simple. One office, one treatment plan, and one place to ask a question about it, instead of coordinating between two practices and two billing departments.
