- Endodontist - Endodontists treat diseases or injuries that affect the root tip or nerve of the tooth. They specialize in extensive root canal treatments and root canal therapy. The core objectives of root canal therapy are to clean out diseased tissue and bacteria from within the main tooth canal and to completely fill the internal void created by the root removal.

A Maxillofacial Surgeon will also deal with fractures and reconstruction of the facial bones.
- Oral Surgeon - Oral surgeons specializes in oral surgery. In certain cases, should you need a tooth extracted, your regular dentist or medical practitioner will send you to an Oral Surgeon. Depending on the severity of the case, Oral surgery is performed while the patient is under sedation. This may be local sedation or general anaesthesia. Typically, Oral Surgeons extract wisdom teeth and perform realignments of TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint, or the jaw joint).
- Orthodontist - An Orthodontist generally tackles the problems associated with straightening crooked, rotated or mal-positioned teeth. Most often this occurs in children and teenagers but adults are treated regularly as well. An orthodontist makes use of fixed or removable braces and may extract surplus teeth to make space in the jaw. Treatment can be lengthy as teeth have to slowly coaxed into their final position.

This is also known as Pedodontics - the treatment of children's teeth. During this growth spurt, special approaches are needed in dealing with their behavior and guiding their dental growth, maintenance, cleanliness and development in order to avoid potential future dental problems. This is a truly critical area in a child's development and early prophylaxis and proper dental hygiene is proven to prolong your children's dental structures.
- Periodontist - Periodontics is defined as the treatment of diseases of the gum or bone (supporting structure). Therefore a Periodontist is a specialist who deals with the soft tissue of the mouth and the supporting structures (bones) of the teeth. The Periodontist diagnoses and treats gingivitis (inflammation of the gingival tissue) as well as periodontitis (gingival tissue and bone disease) and bleeding of the gums. Periodontal maintenance is also a critical area for humans of all ages
