NEW! Patient Education Brochures Are Now Available
AO introduces a new series of patient education brochures that have been developed to assist practitioners in explaining the benefits of dental implants. This series of seven fully illustrated pamphlets are designed to better acquaint patients on such topics as what dental implants are and how they are placed; tooth loss; replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth and all teeth; as well as various adjunctive procedures such as bone augmentation, socket preservation, sinus grafting and ridge augmentation grafting. AO members receive a discounted price for these brochures. Click the graphic below to view the series and print an order form.
NEW! Find a Dentist Search Engine Added to Website
The AO website now gives patients the ability to search for dental implant specialists in their localities. By clicking on the "Find a Dentist' graphic (left side of home page and on all Patient Care web pages), patients will be able to enter a zip code (US) or postal code (internationally) to search in every country represented by AO membership. This newest benefit to AO members will provide name, address and business phone number in each search result. Members who have practice websites are strongly encouraged to include this information on their member profiles as Members' websites will also be displayed and set as live links on search results. AO members who do not wish to participate in the Find a Dentist program can contact AO to opt out.
