Dentist – Why Consulting a Specialist Matters
A Dentist (BDS/MDS) provides comprehensive oral healthcare. General Dentists perform check-ups, fillings, extractions, root canals, and teeth cleaning. Orthodontists correct misaligned teeth with braces and aligners. Periodontists treat gum disease. Endodontists specialize in root canal treatment. Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons perform complex jaw surgery, wisdom tooth removal, and dental implants. Prosthodontists replace missing teeth with crowns, bridges, and dentures. Cosmetic Dentistry includes teeth whitening, veneers, and smile makeovers.
