What’s the difference between dental specialties?

Dentistry includes several areas of specialization, and understanding who does what can help you navigate your care more easily. Here’s a breakdown of common dental specialties in Canada:

  • General Dentist: Your main provider for routine care, cleanings, and most restorative treatments
  • Orthodontist: Focuses on teeth alignment using braces or clear aligners like Invisalign
  • Endodontist: Specializes in root canal therapy and treating tooth pulp issues
  • Periodontist: Expert in gum disease, gum surgery, and implant placement
  • Prosthodontist: Restores damaged or missing teeth using crowns, bridges, and dentures
  • Oral Surgeon: Handles complex surgeries, including extractions and jaw surgery

If your treatment requires a specialist, we’ll guide you through the referral process and work as a team to ensure the best outcome.
