Endodontics
Natural teeth are meant to last a lifetime. Even if one of your teeth becomes injured or decayed it can often be saved through a specialized dental procedure known as root canal (endodontic) treatment.
An endodontist is a dental specialist with at least two additional years of advanced education and training in pulp injuries and root canal procedures.
Because they limit their practice to endodontics, they deal with a variety of problems every day. General dentists regularly refer patients to the endodontist so they can use their special training and experience in treating difficult cases, such as teeth with narrow or blocked canals, teeth with previous root canal treatment or that have unusual anatomy.
Periodontics
A big part of the perfect smile is strong, healthy gum tissue. Periodontists treat the structures that support and surround the teeth. Periodontist Dr. Oliver Hoffman specializes in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of periodontal disease. Whether treating for gum recession, gingivitis, periodontitis or a cosmetic gum procedure, our specialized dental training ensures patients receive state-of-the-art care.Even a subtle change in your smile helps you to project an image of self-confidence and high personal esteem.Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
Oral Surgeons, also known as oral and maxillofacial surgeons, are dental specialists who have not only completed 4 years of dental school, but have also completed at least four years of a surgical hospital residency. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained to treat and diagnose defects, injuries and diseases of the mouth, jaw, teeth, neck, gums and other soft tissues of the head.
Wisdom teeth removals, facial pain, TMJ, dental implants and removal of tumors and cysts are problems commonly treat by oral surgeons. Oral surgeons are also able to offer reconstructive surgery where facial trauma has been involved or for other esthetic reasons.
Oral Surgeons provide a very high quality of care and their advanced training in anesthesia allows them to provide an extreme level of patient comfort in the safety of their office.
Pediatric Dentistry
Children are not just small adults. They are not always able to be patient and cooperative during a dental exam. Pediatric dentists know how to examine and treat children in ways that make them comfortable. In addition, pediatric dentists use specially designed equipment in offices that are arranged and decorated with children in mind.A pediatric dentist offers a wide range of treatment options, as well as expertise and training to care for your child's teeth, gums, and mouth. Pediatric dentists have completed at least four years of dental school, two additional years of residency training in dentistry for infants, children, teens, and children with special needs. When your pediatrician suggests that your child receive a dental exam, you can be assured that a pediatric dentist will provide the best possible care.
