Dental Appliance Specialties for your Dental Practice

In the interest of better serving the various specific oral health needs of the dental patient community, the field of Dentistry is divided into a wealth of specialties. In the interest of better serving the dentists themselves, SML offers a multitude of appliances and appliance therapy options to practitioners in the primary specialty areas.

  • Orthodontics: Orthodontists specialize in the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities, primarily focusing on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws using braces, aligners, and other orthodontic appliances.
     
  • Endodontics: Endodontists specialize in diagnosing and treating diseases and injuries related to the dental pulp and root of the tooth. They commonly perform root canal therapy to save infected or damaged teeth.
     
  • Periodontics: Periodontists specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases that affect the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, such as periodontal (gum) disease. They also perform procedures like gum grafting and dental implant placement.
     
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Oral surgeons specialize in the surgical treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects of the mouth, jaws, and facial structures. They perform procedures such as tooth extraction, dental implant surgery, jaw realignment surgery, and treatment of oral cancers.
     
  • Prosthodontics: Prosthodontists specialize in restoring and replacing missing teeth and oral structures. They design and place dental prostheses such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants to improve function and aesthetics.
  • Pediatric Dentistry: Pediatric dentists specialize in providing dental care for infants, children, and adolescents. They focus on preventive care, early detection of dental issues, and treatment tailored to the unique needs of young patients.
     
  • Oral Pathology: Oral pathologists specialize in the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting the oral and maxillofacial regions, including oral cancers, oral infections, and oral manifestations of systemic diseases.

These are just a few examples of dental specialties, and within each specialty, dentists may further specialize or focus on specific areas of interest or expertise.
