During the course of treatment, I may undergo procedures in all places of dentistry and medicine, including periodontics (gum treatment and surgery), oral surgery, endodontics (root canals), fixed and removable prosthodontics (crowns, bridges and dentures), implant dentistry, restorative dentistry, temporomandibular disorder treatment, sleep apnea treatment, oral pathology, radiography, and saliva DNA testing.
