Meridian Dental Specialists

Endodontists are dentists who specialize in maintaining teeth through endodontic therapy — procedures involving the soft inner tissue of the teeth, called the pulp. The word “endodontic” comes from “endo” meaning inside and “odont” meaning tooth.

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease (a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the gums and bone supporting the teeth also known as gum disease), and in the placement of dental implants.

An oral surgeon is a dental specialist trained to perform surgical procedures involving the teeth, gums, jaw, and face , such as tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, and jaw surgery. Oral surgeons often work with general dentists to provide specialized care when surgical treatment is needed to restore oral health and function. Available at our Uniontown office.
