Dental Specialty Center

The Dental Specialty Center, located at 9499 Holly Rd, Grand Blanc, MI 48439, is a dedicated clinic that provides highly specialized dental services. Unlike a general dentistry practice that offers a broad range of basic services, this center focuses on specific areas of dentistry, ensuring advanced expertise and care. Their team comprises doctors who have undergone additional training and education beyond general dental licensing to become experts in their respective fields. The clinic offers comprehensive care across five key dental specialties: Endodontics: This specialty deals with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases affecting the dental pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) and the tissues surrounding the tooth root. Common procedures include Root Canal therapy, endodontic re-treatment, endodontic surgery, and treatment of fractured or decayed teeth. Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery: This surgical specialty addresses a wide spectrum of diseases, injuries, and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws, and the hard and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. Services can include Dental Implants, wisdom teeth removal, treatment for TMJ disorders, facial trauma reconstruction, corrective jaw surgery, oral pathology, and various forms of anesthesia including sedation. Periodontics: This field focuses on the supporting structures and tissues around the teeth. Periodontists at the center diagnose and treat periodontal (gum) disease, severe gum disease, oral inflammation, perform crown lengthening, scaling and root planing, and handle the placement and repair of dental implants. Treatment can be surgical (traditional or laser) or non-surgical. Orthodontics: Orthodontists specialize in correcting misaligned teeth and jaw patterns to create beautiful and healthy smiles. They offer various treatment options, including traditional Braces (bracket and wire), white brackets, retainers, and clear aligners like Invisalign. Pediatric Dentistry: This specialty provides comprehensive dental care for infants, children, and adolescents, often starting from age one or within six months of the first tooth eruption. Services include oral hygiene instruction, fluoride needs assessment, dietary guidance, and anticipatory guidance for caregivers to maintain good oral health and prevent cavities in children. The Dental Specialty Center emphasizes providing advanced and specialized care, often working in conjunction with general dentists for patients requiring specific, complex treatments.
