What is an Endodontist?

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.

Available at our Morgantown, Uniontown, Cumberland, Bridgeport, and Wheeling offices.

What is an Periodontist?

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.

Available at our Morgantown and Wheeling offices.

What is an Oral Surgeon?

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.

We believe in a total health philosophy

We believe oral health is inseparable from overall health. A total health philosophy means looking beyond teeth and gums to understand how inflammation, sleep, nutrition, stress, and systemic conditions all influence the mouth—and how the mouth, in turn, impacts the body. Our role as specialists is not just to treat problems, but to partner with patients and their healthcare teams to support long-term wellness, function, and quality of life. Every recommendation we make is guided by what best serves your total health, not just a single procedure or visit.
