So in turn I would just stay as a general dentist and still do implants. I know a lot of dentists that have done this and are VERY successful. Though, I also know this is frowned upon by some and the specialist are fighting to get this changed. So my question is i guess, what really are the advantages of specializing in a specific area as I may change my mind and go this route.

. True that I could have learned more about root canals by myself but I would never have reached the level of an Endodontist had I not gone to post-grad school. It is very possible to do root canals (as a general dentist) at the level of an Endodontist but it would be very difficult to go through all the literature and training on your own.
And I don't like doing crown, filling, cleanings....
