Dental Specialties
Endodontics
A specialty of dentistry that is concerned primarily with the roots and soft matter below the tooth into in the dental pulp and it’s supporting structures.
Our endodontists perform many different treatments such as root canals, draining abscesses and root canal therapy, when the inside of the tooth is infected.
Seeking treatment early is important.
General and Cosmetic
At Snodgrass-King we realize that as we have dedicated an entire facility to our pediatric patients that our parents need an area exclusively for their own dental needs.
Our General Dentists take pride in the state of the art facility that we have constructed for our adult patients. We are pleased to be able to provide the latest techniques and most advanced dental procedures in both general and cosmetic dentistry.
Oral and Maxillofacial Specialties
Our oral and maxillofacial specialists treat conditions, injuries, esthetic aspects of the mouth, face, teeth, jaw and defects. They treat patients who experience problems such as misaligned jaws, problem wisdom teeth and facial pain. They offer reconstructive and dental implant surgery, treat accident victims and patients who are suffering with tumors and cysts of the jaw, plus many conditions concerning the functional and esthetic conditions of the maxillofacial areas.
With highly specialized knowledge in pain control and with advanced training in anesthesia, our specialists provide comfort and safety in our comfortable office settings. They strongly believe in educating patients about the procedures they perform and in providing the highest quality patient care.
Orthodontic
Orthodontists are uniquely educated experts in dentistry specializing in straightening teeth and aligning jaws. They prevent and treat dental and facial irregularities.
We recommend that children as young as 7 come in for an orthodontic evaluation. Some children a little younger may also benefit from an evaluation if it is felt preventative treatment may be beneficial.
Some common conditions found in children may include genetic or inherited conditions from parents, such as dental crowding, protruding teeth, too much space between teeth, extra or missing teeth and jaw growth problems.
Some other conditions develop over time and can be caused by thumb or finger-sucking, mouth breathing, dental disease, poor dental hygiene, accidents, poor nutrition, early or late loss of baby teeth or abnormal swallowing. Even some birth defects can cause orthodontic problems.
Whatever the cause, most conditions can be successfully treated by one of our orthodontic specialists, who will determine the appropriate timing in the child’s growth to perform the treatment, whether as preventative or to correct the problem.
