An infected or injured tooth that may be preserved
Advanced periodontal disease or supporting-bone loss
A painful or abnormal bite
Crooked or displaced teeth causing tissue contact
A retained baby tooth affecting alignment
An opening between the mouth and nasal cavity
An oral mass or suspected tumor
A jaw injury or temporomandibular joint problem
A need for a complex dental second opinion
The doctor will determine whether an advanced procedure, extraction, additional diagnostics or
another treatment should be considered.
Endodontics addresses disease or injury affecting the pulp inside a tooth. When a strategically important tooth is fractured, inflamed or infected, root-canal treatment may provide an alternative to extraction.
Root-canal treatment
Fractured-tooth evaluation
Treatment of pulp inflammation or infection
Tooth-preserving procedures when appropriate
Advanced periodontal treatment may be considered when the disease extends beneath the gumline, cleaning alone may not adequately address the affected tissues.
Root planing
Treatment of deep periodontal pockets
Regenerative or allograft procedures
Advanced periodontal surgery
Follow-up periodontal assessment
Veterinary orthodontics treats abnormal alignment of the teeth or jaws when it interferes with function or causes painful contact with oral tissues.
Malocclusion and bite correction
Braces or other orthodontic appliances
Space maintainers
Retained baby-tooth removal
Correction of displaced or crooked teeth
Tooth extrusion
Surgical orthodontics when appropriate
Oral and maxillofacial surgery addresses complex conditions involving the mouth, jaws, face and surrounding structures. Treatment planning may require dental imaging, laboratory testing, tissue sampling or other diagnostics.
Oral-tumor evaluation and removal
Oronasal fistula repair
Temporomandibular joint treatment
Mandibulectomy when medically appropriate
Complex jaw and oral reconstruction
Maxillectomy when medically appropriate
