🦷What is a Dental Specialties Center?!🦷
Not all dentists are created equal, but we all have a common goal, helping you have and keep a healthy Smile! 😁
Find out the different types of dental specialties offered at Lyons Dental Specialties below:
🦷Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon🦷
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons are orthopedic facial surgeons treating a wide variety of dental issues, from the removal of impacted teeth to dental implants, and reconstructive facial surgery. This specialty diagnoses and treats diseases, injuries, and defects of both hard and soft tissue in the oral (mouth) and maxillofacial (jaw and face) regions. At Lyons Dental Specialties we have board-certified surgeons who provide the best quality dental implant and All-on-4 treatments as well as same-day teeth.
🦷Endodontist – The Tooth Root Doctor🦷
Need a root canal? Our endodontists are highly trained in the normal functions, causes, and effects of dental disease and the relationship between the two, concerning the human dental pulp – that is, the center of the tooth, made up of living connective tissue and cells. And the tissues surrounding the root. At Lyons Dental Specialties we focus on prevention and treatment of injuries or diseases of the dental pulp; including pulpitis, “pulp stones”, or pulp exposure – all of which can be extremely painful or can lead to dental abscesses. We provide the best quality root canal therapy to our patients of all ages.
🦷Periodontist – The Gum Specialist🦷
Of all dental specialties, periodontists are dentists specializing in the care and prevention of gum-related diseases and the treatment of oral inflammation. Periodontists often treat more problematic cases of severe gum disease with a wide range of treatments including scaling and root planing – which is commonly thought of as a “Deep Cleaning” and involves thoroughly scaling all plaque, toxins, and tartar deposits and then smoothing all of the rough areas on the root surface. Another common treatment would be root surface debridement, where damaged gum tissue is removed.
At Lyons Dental Specialties our Periodontists are also specially trained in the placement, maintenance, and repair of dental implants.
🦷Orthodontist – The Alignment Dentist🦷
Orthodontics deals with the diagnosis and treatment of misaligned or malpositioned teeth or jaws. At Lyons Dental Specialties our highly trained Orthodontists will correct misalignment of teeth, gaps, overbite or underbite, or other abnormalities of the jaw, bite, or teeth, using non-surgical procedures. Correcting the bite and alignment of teeth will improve your smile but also affects the function and longevity of the teeth. We offer a variety of orthodontic treatments including wires, braces, retainers, Invisalign®, or other corrective appliances.
🦷Pedodontics – Pediatric Dentist🦷
While general dentists are allowed to treat patients of any age, pediatric dentists are specially trained to address the specific needs and oral health of children and teens, like fluoride treatments and dental sealants. Our highly trained Pediatric dentists will guide your children and teens through their dental growth and development utilizing their training from infant oral health exams to space management after the premature loss of a primary tooth. At Lyons Dental Specialties we also offer other oral health-related care like special counseling on nutrition, advice on teeth grinding, and discouragement of thumb and finger sucking.
