Then, your dentist in Deer Park pays special attention to your aesthetics and general/preventive health!
Choose an Oral Surgeon for Extensive Treatments—Leave the Aesthetics to Us!
Many patients may wonder, “what’s the difference between an oral surgeon and a dentist?” They’re similar, but when it comes to more complicated dental procedures, your safety and health are our priority. With that in mind, we refer patients out of our office to a professional oral surgeon and have you return to our office to have your restored smile cared for and looking beautiful.
What’s the role of an oral surgeon?
Oral surgeons are specialists who usually spend an extra four to eight years in dental school. This helps them to better understand the inner workings of our mouths and what really helps our teeth stay stable. Oral surgeons specialize in dental implants, jaw joint disorders, facial pain, wisdom tooth extractions and other oral surgeries like:
- Complex tooth removals that include bone
- Impacted tooth removal
- Soft tissue removal
- Implant alignment
- Removal of tumors
So, what does your general dentist do for you?
When you choose to visit Deer Park Family Dentistry, you can receive preventive, restorative, and cosmetic services that will compliment your oral surgery. This will help your results last for years to come! You can receive some these services from your friendly dentist at Deer Park Family Dentistry:
- Thorough dental exams and x-rays
- Tooth-colored fillings
- Dental crowns
- Dental sealants
- Root canals
- Dental bridges
- Gum health maintenance
How do I know if I need oral surgery or general dentistry?
The reality of the dental world is that there are few who know about the details of what goes on in your mouth unless you’ve studied it. We understand that our patients depend on us to provide honest, trustworthy dental care and point them in the right direction. The best way to figure out who you should be receiving treatments from and what kind of procedures you need is to visit Deer Park Family Dentistry for a consultation.
During your scheduled meeting with either Dr. Jane Reeves (Dr. Jane) or Dr. Jason Peck, our friendly dentists will be able to openly discuss your dental issues and goals. From there, we can look at your mouth and develop a custom treatment plan for you—whether that means receiving services from our office or referring you to an oral surgeon to help you achieve your goals.
