Endodontics
Endodontics is the area of dentistry focused on the study and treatment of the dental pulp. The pulp is the innermost layer of the tooth and includes the tooth’s living connective tissue and cells. It also houses the tooth nerves and blood vessels. If this area of the tooth becomes injured or diseased, it often results in serious tooth pain and sensitivity. When infection and damage in the dental pulp go untreated, they can cause the tooth to die, necessitating extraction. The goal of endodontic treatment is to restore the health of the tooth and prevent the need for tooth extraction. The most common type of endodontic treatment is root canal therapy, which is often simply called a root canal. During root canal therapy, our dentists and team remove the injured and infected tissues from the tooth, thoroughly clean the tooth, and fill the tooth. The tooth is then capped with a restoration, such as a dental crown, to protect the tooth and restore its structure and appearance. If root canal therapy is not the right treatment for you or infection recurs after the tooth has undergone a root canal, our dentists may recommend further endodontic treatment. Other endodontic treatment options include root canal retreatment, apicoectomy, pulpal debridement and pulpotomy.

Oral Surgery
If more conservative treatments cannot fully restore your oral health and function, our dentists may recommend an oral surgery procedure. During your initial consultation, our oral surgeon will thoroughly examine your mouth and discuss your oral health needs and treatment options with you before creating an individualized treatment plan that can give you back a healthy, confident smile. We welcome you to contact Maryland Dental Specialty Group at 301-598-3951 to make an appointment and learn more about oral surgery in Silver Spring, Maryland. Oral surgery includes a number of surgical dental treatments. The goal of oral surgery is to improve the function, health and appearance of your smile and the surrounding structures, such as your jaw. In many cases, we strive to provide the most conservative treatment possible. However, oral surgery may be necessary to correct certain conditions and improve your oral and overall health. Oral surgery may include: Tooth extraction (for teeth that are decayed, damaged or infected to the point that an effective restoration is impossible) Wisdom teeth removal (for wisdom teeth that are impacted or have grown in at an incorrect angle) Jaw surgery (to treat a TMJ disorder, correct uneven jaw growth or improve the fit of dentures) Bone grafts (to increase bone density or improve the chances for a successful dental implant) While we provide many oral surgery treatments at our office, we also work closely with other dental professionals and hospitals to ensure that you receive the high-quality results you deserve. Our dentists will carefully evaluate your smile and your needs to determine whether oral surgery is the best available treatment choice for you. Our team is committed to ensuring that your oral surgery is as comfortable as possible. Please feel free to contact us today to learn more about oral surgery and schedule your individual consultation!

Dental Fillings
We provide dental fillings to repair and restore your damaged teeth. This simple restorative treatment can be completed in a single visit to Maryland Dental Specialty Group so that you can leave our office with renewed oral health. Call Maryland Dental Specialty Group at 301-598-3951 to learn more about dental fillings in Silver Spring, Maryland, and schedule an appointment with our skilled prosthodontist. A dental filling is a restoration used to repair minor to moderate tooth damage. We may recommend a filling if a tooth has been damaged by decay (for example, if it has a cavity) or suffers from minor fracturing or chipping. The dental filling is used to restore the tooth to its original structure and function, and return your smile to good health. There are two main types of dental fillings available: amalgam fillings and composite fillings. The process for placing a dental filling requires just one comfortable visit to our office. Our dentists will first remove the decayed and damaged portion of the tooth, then clean it to remove all traces of decay. We then fill the area with the filling material and shape it to match your tooth’s shape. Finally, the filling is hardened by our dentists for a lasting restoration. If one of your teeth is decayed or damaged, a dental filling may be a great choice for restoring your oral health and function. We invite you to call or visit us today to learn more about dental fillings and schedule your next appointment with our dentists and team. We look forward to caring for your smile!
