Just putting my two cents in here as a dentist. It would be a good idea to see the prosthodontist BEFORE having the implants done. The reason for this is that he/she can have input with the surgeon as far as the final treatment plan goes, from their perspective. I know that if I am going to restore someone's mouth, it can be more difficult coming into the situation after the implants are done. Not that it is impossible to do, it just makes it easier.
Hope this is helpful.
Good luck with your treatment.
