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 (international) 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 websites will be 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.
