Types of Dentistry

General dentistry comprises the standard dental procedures, such as oral check-ups and teeth cleanings, x-rays, fillings, root canals and similar procedures.

Cosmetic dentistry covers aesthetic dental procedures such as teeth whitening, Invisalign braces, porcelain veneers, contouring and bonding, and dental implants — in short, a smile makeover.

Restorative dentistry procedures include treatment of advanced gum disease, crowns and bridges, TMJ (TemporoMandibular Joint — a disorder of the jaw joints or the muscles that control the joints), dentures, etc.
