The dental field includes a broad spectrum of different professional doctors who specialize in different aspects of your dental health. If you need dental care, its important to understand the differences between the types of physicians who provide dental treatment so that you can find the correct specialist. Below is an explanation of the treatments each specialist is an expert in performing.
A periodontist specializes in the health and treatment of the gums, focusing on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease like gingivitis. Periodontists may also place dental fillings and perform cosmetic skin grafting treatments to gum tissue. They routinely work with dentists to provide preventative treatment plans to patients.
When a patient has damaged, missing, or decayed teeth, a prosthodontist will be the one to provide oral prosthetics such as bridges, crowns, and tooth implants. Prosthodontists also perform veneer applications and will ensure patients can bite and chew effectively with their new dental prosthetics.
Maxillofacial and oral surgeons specialize in the treatment of the hard and soft tissues in the face around the mouth. These professionals typically perform more invasive treatments than other dental health professionals. They often work with the cheeks, tongue, gums, lips, hard palate, and soft palate. Patients who need procedures like cleft palate repairs, complex tooth extractions, or surgical jaw corrections will likely see oral surgeons for treatment.

I have visited Dr. Bishop several times and I always feel comfortable. It's always a quick and easy process to schedule the visit, and then the visit itself pretty painless. Everyone is very polite and they take care of their patients very well.

My husband has been a patient here for the past year and a half. He goes in every few months for some work and has never had any problems with Dr. Bishop or his staff. I would definitely recommend this clinic if you want a hassle free process.

They have flowers, they are always smiling, they are all friendly. Even if I don't like the music selection they will change it. I wouldn't go anywhere else, these people are trustworthy.

Are there enough words to describe Metroplex Endodontics? I have had just such good experiences with them. For one, the staff is just great. I love the doctor, so nice and friendly. Next has to be how quick the check in and check out process is, makes e everything so easy, that has to be my favorite part. These guys rock, 5 stars.

Metroplex Endodontics was very accommodating and went above and beyond to fit me in at a time that fit with my schedule. Originally I had scheduled an appointment later in the day that didn't really fit in my schedule but it was the earliest they could do. However, they happened to have a cancellation that day so they called me and offered me that time slot. I was very impressed and pleased.

Going to Metroplex Endodontics is like going into someone's home. My seat had a good view and I was offered a beverage. They took their time with me and thoroughly explained what they would be doing. I was extremely impressed
