There are nine specialties in dentistry, recognized by the American Dental Association, and meet the requirements that deem them so. As with many specialists with advanced knowledge and skills, general dentists provide preventive measures to ensure your oral health, and detailed keep records. However, some concerns require more specific care than general dental treatments allow. Your general dentist may refer you to specialist if you are in need of advanced care.
As a multi-specialty dental practice, Pacific Dental Associates provides comprehensive dental care to ensure their patient’s oral health. Visiting a dentist who actively collaborates with specialists grants patients many benefits.
Expert Advice for Individual Treatment
A dental office that houses multiple specialists makes for a convenient dental visit. Many new or returning patients may have only visited the practice solely for general cleanings, but if they have recently lost a tooth or have periodontal disease, an in-house periodontist and oral surgeon offer professional assistance.
This convenience reduces the number of office visits and days missed from work or school. Visiting with a multi-specialty practice allows you the convenience of visiting one office for your every dental concern.
Visiting One Practice for Every Smile Need
Relying on a team of specialized dental professionals who work in one office can be more effective. Visiting other offices with a singular focus can result in miscommunication of treatment.
Additionally, a multi-generational household calls for specialized treatment at every age. A multi-specialist practice allows for the easier transition between ages and dental concerns. There’s no need to transfer records or commute between doctors. An office with multiple specialist’s results in comprehensive treatment, as collaboration is first hand.
