Oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in surgery of the head, neck, face, jaws, as well as associated structures. Extensive dental and medical training prepares them for a wide range of procedures. Some of the types of procedures and treatments include: surgical extractions, orthognathic surgery, dentoalveolar surgery, pathology, preprosthetic surgery, reconstructive surgery, implantology, and facial pain or temporomandibular dysfunction.
Periodontist's are dentists who specialize in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases. Periodontology is a branch of dentistry which studies supporting structures of teeth and the diseases and conditions that affect them. The focus of their postgraduate training is on learning skills for the surgical and non-surgical management of periodontal disease.
An endodontist deals with the tooth pulp (nerves; blood vessels) and the tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. If the pulp has become diseased or injured, endodontic treatment is required to save the tooth. This is commonly known as root canal treatment.
An endodontist will examine patients, interpret x-rays, and perform dental nerve tests to determine nerve vitality and the condition of the surrounding tissue. They evaluate their findings and prescribe a method of treatment to prevent loss of teeth.
A prosthodontist is a dentist who specializes in implant, esthetic and reconstructive dentistry. They restore oral function through prostheses and restorations (i.e., implants, crowns and dentures).
A pediatric dentist treats children from birth through adolescence. They focus on the management and treatment of a child’s developing teeth, child behaviour, physical growth and development, and the special needs of children’s dentistry.
An orthodontist prevents and treats mouth, teeth and jaw problems. Using braces, retainers, and other devices, an orthodontist helps straighten a person’s teeth and corrects the way the jaws line up.
Orthodontists treat children and adults for many problems including crowded or overlapped teeth and problems with jaw and tooth development. These teeth and jaw concerns may be caused by tooth decay, losing baby teeth too soon, accidents, habits like thumb sucking, or may be genetic.
