Specialty Dental Treatments FAQs
Specialty dental treatments go beyond routine care to address more complex or persistent oral health conditions. These services often require advanced equipment or techniques and are tailored to each patient's specific needs.
These include root canals, TMJ therapy, oral laser treatments, deep cleanings, and procedures designed to resolve persistent pain, infections, or structural concerns. Each treatment is chosen based on the nature of the condition and your individual oral health.
You may need one of these treatments if you have ongoing pain, severe infection, joint or bite discomfort, or advanced gum disease. Specialty care is also recommended when previous treatments haven't resolved the problem fully.
Most procedures are done with local anesthesia to keep you comfortable. For more sensitive cases, sedation options may be discussed. The goal is always to reduce discomfort both during and after the procedure.
Coverage varies depending on your plan and the treatment type. Some specialty procedures - like root canals - are often included under basic or major services. We'll always review your benefits with you before beginning treatment.
