Dental Services

General dentistry is the area of dentistry that covers a wide range of procedures, including initial consultation and diagnostics, tests, x-rays, wax molds for replacement teeth, scale and polish, fillings, and dentures. General dentists provide preventive treatments to promote oral health[1], as well as restorative services and cosmetic dentistry. They also diagnose and treat diseases of the oral cavity.

General dentists should be seen at least twice a year or every six months to check for any significant changes or if something needs to be treated. During these visits, general dentists may use direct restoration procedures (materials placed directly in the mouth) or indirect restoration procedures (materials made outside the mouth based on an individual’s teeth impressions). People of all ages can safely receive general dental care.

In addition to their standard training, some general dentists receive special training in particular areas such as implant placement, cosmetic procedures, or other therapies. General dentists also have access to advanced education programs such as the Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) Postdoctoral Program. Learn more >

Orthodontics is a dentistry specialty that addresses the diagnosis, prevention, management, and correction of mal-positioned teeth and jaws, and misaligned bite patterns. It may also address the modification of facial growth, known as dentofacial orthopedics. An orthodontist is a doctor who receives two to three years of additional training after graduating from dental school. Common orthodontic treatments include traditional braces, clear aligners and removable retainers. Clear orthodontic aligners are a popular alternative to braces. Orthodontic treatments could involve fixed or removable appliances. Learn more >

Prosthodontics is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). Prosthodontists specialize in the design, development and fitting of artificial replacements for teeth and other portions of the mouth, such as crowns, bridges, dentures and implants. They also offer treatments to address temporomandibular problems or disorders, as well as sleep or snoring disorders. Prosthodontists receive an additional three years of training after dental school to specialize in this field, and board certification is awarded through the American Board of Prosthodontics (ABP). Maxillofacial prosthetics (Oral and Maxillofacial Prosthodontics) is a sub-specialty (or super-specialty) of prosthodontics. Treatment is multidisciplinary, involving oral and maxillofacial surgeons, plastic surgeons, head and neck surgeons. Learn more >

Cosmetic dentistry is a branch of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of teeth, gums, and smiles Common services include teeth whitening, veneers, braces, clear aligners, and gum contouring. Teeth whitening treatments can be done in the dental office or at home[2], while dental crowns and bridges are used to replace decayed or damaged teeth. Dental implants are titanium replacement tooth roots inserted into the bone socket of the missing tooth, while inlays and onlays are indirect fillings made from gold, porcelain, or composite materials to fill decayed or damaged teeth. Cosmetic dentistry is offered to people who are unhappy with the appearance of their smiles and costs for these procedures vary depending on the treatment needed. Learn more >

Oral surgery is a broad term for any operation performed on the teeth, gums, jaw or surrounding oral and facial structures. It includes a wide range of procedures such as tooth extraction, dental bone grafts, periodontal (gum) grafts and corrective jaw surgery. Oral surgeries might be performed by any one of a number of different kinds of dental specialists, including oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMSs).

Oral surgery can be performed for a number of reasons. Common types include tooth extraction, dental bone grafts, dental implants, periodontal surgery and corrective jaw surgery. Preparation for an oral surgery should follow the same guidelines as any serious medical procedure, with recovery time depending on the type of surgery.

The cost of oral surgery depends on the type of procedure that is being done, its complexity and the kind of anesthesia used. Learn more >

Dental implantology is a procedure that replaces tooth roots with metal, screw-like posts and replaces damaged or missing teeth with artificial teeth that look and function much like real ones. It can offer an advanced alternative to dentures or bridgework and can be used when a lack of natural teeth exists.

The procedure involves inserting artificial tooth roots into the jawbone, which bond with it to allow for the placement of replacement teeth called crowns. Dental implants can be used if one or more permanent teeth are missing.

The surgery requires experiencedise to carry out safely, and the gum tissue around the implant needs to be carefully manipulated to provide a natural contour. If all of the patient's teeth are missing, an implant-supported full bridge or full denture can replace them. Implant-supported overdentures are also available, which help preserve bone of the jaw and prevent bone resorption.

Overall, dental implantology is a safe and effective way to replace missing or damaged teeth. Learn more >

This type of orthodontic treatment is designed to improve the aesthetic appearance of the teeth and jaw, while simultaneously relieving the symptoms of TMJ. Treatment can include orthodontic appliances, such as braces, retainers, and removable appliances, as well as orthodontic surgery, such as jaw repositioning or TMJ arthroscopy. The goal of TMJ & Bioesthetics Orthodontics is to provide the best possible treatment for TMJ and orthodontic concerns in the most comfortable and efficient manner possible. Learn more >
