Find an implant specialist in Odessa

It is the federal NPI register (NPPES), read on October 2, 2026, filtered to periodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and dental practices whose register address is in Odessa, and nothing more. Listings are alphabetical, no one can pay to be added, removed or reordered, and there are no ratings or reviews because we have not called or visited these practices.

No. Periodontists and oral surgeons place many implants, and general dentists with implant training place others; the crown on top is usually made by a general dentist or a prosthodontist. The specialist tier shows where the register says the surgical training is, which matters most when a case needs bone grafting or a sinus lift.

No implant benefit for adults. Texas Medicaid does not cover general dental care for adults 21 and older outside ICF-IID facilities; the only exception is dental work tied to a life-threatening medical condition, with prior approval, and restorations, dentures and bridges are not authorized under it. Children's Medicaid and CHIP dental runs through Texas Health Steps and the state's dental plans. the Medicaid page has the rule, the exceptions and the plans’ dental extras.

An NPI record is not proof of an active license. CMS says so itself. Every profile shows the license number the register carries and links the TSBDE license lookup, where you can verify it in about a minute. The How this list works section below has the other caveats.
