Unsure of which Dental Specialty to select?
Your first stop will usually be a General Dentist.
If your General Dentist feels that you require a specialist,
they will provide you with a referral. Many specialists also
require a referral from a General Dentist prior to scheduling
an appointment.
Specialty Breakdown
General Dentists can provide many preventive services, like exams and cleanings,
as well as treatment services, like fillings and crowns. Some General Dentists
also provide more specialty services, like root canals, extractions, and dentures,
however, available treatment will vary for each provider. If your General
Dentist cannot provide the treatment you need, they may refer you to a specialist.
Oral Surgeons perform surgical treatments, like complicated extractions and wisdom tooth extractions.
Many Oral Surgeons also perform jaw and facial surgeries that are considered medical (rather than dental),
like alveoplasties or cleft lip/palate surgery.
Endodontists specialize in the treatment of dental pulp and perform services like root canals,
though may also provide dental implants. Not all Endodontists will provide endodontic services
on primary (baby) teeth, so if needed, you may be redirected to a Pediatric Dentist.
Orthodontists specialize in tooth and jaw positioning and alignment. A dentist may refer you
to an Orthodontist for an overbite, underbite, crossbite, or tooth crowding. Keep in mind
that insurance benefits for orthodontia can vary depending on the patient's age, so make
sure to check your benefits before scheduling treatment.
Pediatric Dentists specialize in dental treatment for young and special needs children.
Most Pediatric Dentists provide different levels of sedation, when needed, and some even
have privileges to provide services in a hospital setting. Do keep in mind that as most
primary (baby) teeth are lost by age 12, some Pediatric Dentists institute patient age limits,
referring those over a certain age to continue their dental care with a General Dentist.
Periodontists specialize in gums and gum disease. Though General Dentists can often perform some
periodontal services, like deep cleanings (scaling and root planning), they will often refer
patients to a Periodontist when they are in need of more intensive treatment.
Many Periodontists also provide dental implant services.
Prosthodontists specialize in dental prosthetics, like dentures, partials, and bridges.
Though many General Dentists provide dentures in their offices, patients who have unique
oral structure or require other specialized denture services may be referred to a Prosthodontist.
General Dentists who don't provide denture services in their clinics may also refer patients
to this type of specialist.
Oral Pathologists specialize in the study and diagnosis of mouth and jaw disorders, including issues
with orofacial skin. A General Dentist will refer patients to an Oral Pathologist for assistance in
diagnosing oral abnormalities and disease.
Oral & Maxillofacial Radiologists specializes in the production and interpretation of radiographic
images, like x-rays, CT and MRI scans, to identify and assist in diagnosing conditions affecting
the head, neck, face, and jaws.
