At Dental and Orthodontic Studios in Cape Town, we recognise the crucial role that specialised dentistry plays in providing comprehensive oral health care. Specialised dentistry encompasses a range of dental disciplines that focus on specific areas of dental health, offering advanced treatments beyond the scope of general dentistry. Whether you're in need of orthodontic adjustment, periodontal therapy, or oral surgery, understanding what specialised dentistry involves can help you seek the right care for your dental needs.
Specialised dentistry refers to dental disciplines that require additional training and expertise beyond general dental education. Dentists in these fields undergo further postgraduate study to become experts in their specific area of focus. This advanced knowledge and training enable them to diagnose, treat, and manage conditions that require specialised care.
Orthodontics: Focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontists specialise in correcting misaligned teeth and jaws, often using braces or clear aligners.
Periodontics: Concerned with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are experts in treating oral inflammation and maintaining the health of the gums and bone supporting the teeth.
Endodontics: Specialises in treating the inside of the tooth, particularly root canal therapy. Endodontists are skilled in managing diseases and injuries of the tooth pulp and surrounding tissues.
Prosthodontics: Focuses on the restoration and replacement of lost or damaged teeth with artificial devices, such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants. Prosthodontists are experts in rehabilitating the mouth to improve functionality and appearance.
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery: Involves surgical treatments related to the mouth, jaws, face, and skull. This includes procedures like tooth extractions, jaw correction surgery, and the treatment of oral cancers.
Paediatric Dentistry: Dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years. Paediatric dentists are trained to address the dental needs of young patients, including behavioural management and care for patients with special needs.
