Specialty Dentistry
Why do patients seek the care of a specialist?
Patients look for specialists when they want to have an expert provide their health care service in dentistry or medicine, and are looking for the finest, longest-lasting treatment available.
Do I have to be referred by a doctor to see a dental specialist?
Anyone can seek out the care of a dental specialist - all you need is a phone book or the Internet, and a desire for quality services.
What dental specialists are there?
There are eight recognized specialties in Dentistry, but the most common are the first six:
- Prosthodontists and Maxillofacial Prosthodontists (like Dr. Wada) treat patients who are seeking the longest-lasting, highest-quality restorative dentistry available (crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, partial dentures, cosmetic dentistry, fillings, veneers, etc.). Prosthodontists are experts in all types of restorative dentistry, repairing, restoring, and replacing teeth. They also treat patients who have pain or noises in their jaw joints, and patients who have problems with ill-fitting partials or dentures. Prosthodontists are experts in helping people keep their teeth, even if they have had years of dental problems and lost teeth in the past. Prosthodontists also provide therapy for dysfunctional jaw joints (TMJ Therapy). A Maxillofacial Prosthodontist receives even more training beyond that of a Prosthodontist. A Maxillofacial Prosthodontist is trained to diagnose and treat complex head and neck problems requiring prosthetic rehabilitation and / or restoration. Maxillofacial Prosthodontists are also experts in cosmetic dentistry.
- Periodontists are dentists who are experts in helping patients maintain healthy gum tissue and the bone that supports teeth. Patients who have a history of gum disease are commonly treated by a Periodontist. Periodontists, as well as Oral Surgeons, are experts in surgically placing implants. Periodontists are also gum "Plastic Surgeons." They can improve a patient's smile by working with a Prosthodontist when he is providing cosmetic dentistry.
- Oral Surgeons are specialty dentists who are experts in tooth extractions and surgery of the face and jaws. Many times, a Dentist will refer a patient to an Oral Surgeon for tooth extractions or surgical placement of implants.
- Endodontists are dentists who are specifically trained to provide root canals. When my patients need root canals, I always send them to an Endodontist to ensure their comfort and the success of the root canal. Root canals can fail if they are not done properly.
- Orthodontists are experts in moving teeth with braces or other appliances. There are many excellent Orthodontists in our community. Contact Dr. Wada's office if you would like a referral.
- Pediatric Dentists are experts in children's dentistry. Taking your child to a Pediatric Dentist can ensure a fun, positive experience for your child.
- Oral and Maxillofacial Pathologists are experts in oral disease (mouth lesions).
- Dental Public Health consists of specialists who are experts in dental and public health.
