Oral Maxillofacial South Valley Oral and Facial Surgery CA 95123-1220There are a few types of specialties of oral surgeons to be aware of when it comes to getting specialized oral care for your mouth. When you have an issue that has to be addressed, you would go to one of these list oral surgeons to have it taken care of. Since they all specialize in different areas, the one you see depends on the issue you're having.

Oral Maxillofacial


These dental surgeons perform extreme surgeries and difficult ones that need someone trained in many areas of oral surgery to correct. They do extensive surgeries that other surgeons may not be able to perform, while also being recommended to those that need facial reconstruction or even an imbedded tooth extraction.

Endodontist


This specialist works on the pulp and other tissues inside the tooth. They specialize in root canals and other procedures in the deeper areas of the tooth.

Periodontist


Periodontists treat problems of the teeth and surrounding tissues. If you're suffering from periodontal disease, then this is who you would see for help and treatment options.

Prosthodontist


Sleep apnea, TMJ and those that are missing teeth would benefit from seeing this specialist. They also specialize in providing bonding, implants and other pieces of teeth that make a difference on the person's smile.

Orthodontist


People with jaw disorders and facial abnormalities that need to be adjusted would see this specialist to have these types of problems fixed.
