Dental Surgeons

Dentists provide a broad range of dental care services that focus on maintaining oral health, preventing dental diseases, and treating common dental issues. They are the primary dental care providers for people of all ages and are usually the first point of contact when it comes to dental care. A general dentist covers a wide range of preventative, restorative, and cosmetic care, ensuring that patients maintain healthy teeth and gums throughout their lives. Dentists collaborate with specialists for more complex cases, such as Prosthodontists and Periodontists, to ensure that patients receive the most effective and specialized treatment when needed.
