East Cobb Dentist | Dentist Marietta 30066, 30062, 30068
East Cobb Dentist practices the art or science of treating diseases involving the teeth and of the gums around them. But did you know that dentistry is further subdivided into a number of specialties. The East Cobb Dentistry practice includes the following specialties:
Oral surgery includes tooth extractions and operations on the jaw bones and the soft tissues of the mouth.
Oral medicine deals with the treatment of local or systemic diseases affecting the mouth.
Restorative dentistry involves replacement of parts of teeth or missing teeth. We remove and replace the old dark colored fillings and replace them with the new tooth-colored fillings. In the past, fillings were made from materials called amalgams. Now tooth-colored composite resins, or pre-cast inlays; larger restorations may require metal or ceramic crowns are the preferred method.
Restorative dentistry also includes endodontic (treating the pulps or root canals of teeth) and prosthodontics. In prosthodontics, missing teeth are replaced either with fixed bridges, dental implants are used to anchor the replacements.
East Cobb Dentist may refer you to one of our trusted providers if you need removable dentures (false teeth) that may be partial or complete, depending on whether some or all of the natural teeth have been lost.
Periodontics covers treatment of diseases of the gums (gingivitis) and other tissues around the teeth (periodontitis).
Orthodontics is the correction of misalignment of teeth using appliances (‘braces’), which may be held by brackets glued to the teeth (fixed appliances) or retained with wire clasps (removable appliances)
Pediatric dentistry covers all aspects of dentistry in children.
