Implantology is a very special branch of dentistry, so yes, you will need to turn to a professional who has undergone specialized training to learn how to install dental implants.
The two principal types of dental specialists are general dentists and oral surgeons. While general dentists perform root canal treatments, fillings, professional cleaning, the installation of crowns and facets and oral surgeons treat more severe affections, extract teeth and perform surgeries, both types of specialists can train to install dental implants. During that training, they will learn how to make the incision needed for installing the implant pole, how to mount the abutment on top of the pole, how to use special technologies, such as imaging techniques to ensure that the pole is installed correctly, how to take the mold for the crown and how to follow up on the healing process.
