Modern dentistry is one of the most highly developed areas of medicine. Unfortunately, many people are afraid to visit dental offices, fearing the pain they will experience during the procedures.
This stereotype should be dispelled as quickly as possible, since medicine has long stepped forward. Currently, doctors use modern and high-quality equipment, which reduces the risk of pain during dental treatment.
Dentist-therapist
The general practitioner (odontologist) makes a primary diagnosis, provides the necessary medical care that is part of his professional duties, or refers to other specialists. List of manipulations performed by a therapeutic dentist:
- preventive examination of the oral cavity;
- drawing up a treatment program;
- relief of acute toothache;
- removal of inflamed nerves;
- ordering the necessary diagnostic tests;
- planned or emergency removal of caries;
- treatment of pulpitis, periodontitis, periostitis;
- therapy for inflammatory gum diseases.
An important task facing the therapist is the correct diagnosis. The choice of optimal tactics and further prognosis of the disease depend on this.
Opportunities of modern dentistry
The services included in dental medicine are constantly expanding. Most of them are still aimed directly at the treatment of dental diseases, but a significant part of manipulations have appeared that are responsible for the aesthetic appearance and improving a person’s living status. Healthy teeth and a beautiful, wide smile are essential components of success.
To give a natural appearance to the dentition, braces are widely used today. With their help, it became possible to correct the bite, change the direction of crooked teeth, and eliminate defects in the anatomy of the oral cavity. Some operations with braces can be aimed at cosmetic purposes, such as rejuvenation, correction of the height of the dentition.
The design of the braces itself is invisible from the outside and does not cause the slightest discomfort to the patient.
Veneers correct the appearance without surgery. The service life of modern corrective products is up to 15 years without loss of original properties.
Dental hygienist
The main task of a hygienist is to carry out preventive measures aimed at preventing the development of inflammatory diseases in the oral cavity. Hygiene procedures can be performed as a separate type of service or as part of a complex of treatment programs for caries therapy, implantation, and prosthetics. Competence of a dentist in this profile:
- assessment of the general condition of the oral cavity;
- planning of preventive measures;
- hygienic teeth cleaning (removal of mineral deposits, plaque);
- remineralization of enamel;
- instilling hygienic knowledge in patients;
- recommendations for the selection of special dental care products;
The specialist conducts health education and medical examinations.
Generalist
When a patient turns to dental treatment specialists, the first step is to be examined by a dental therapist. Sometimes he also carries out a set of medical procedures, after which the help of other specialists is no longer required. The therapist first carefully examines the oral cavity and, based on the results of this examination, makes a preliminary diagnosis. Quite often, in order to clarify the situation as much as possible, this doctor writes the patient a referral to an X-ray room, where the current condition of the teeth can be studied in maximum detail.
If the diagnosis requires tooth filling, the dentist-therapist can perform this operation independently, without the intervention of other specialists, having first expanded the cavity that has arisen in the tissues due to caries and carried out antiseptic measures. If there is a serious illness, as well as if complications develop after treatment, the patient is referred to more specialized specialists.

Dental surgeon
The responsibilities of an oral and maxillofacial surgeon include the most complex clinical cases that are not subject to conservative therapy. His manipulations can improve the patient’s quality of life, provide emergency care, and save a problematic tooth. Objectives of surgical care in dentistry:
- removal of teeth and their fragments after injury;
- peeling of cysts;
- performing surgical procedures in preparation for prosthetics;
- planned and emergency operations in the oral cavity;
- treatment of fractures, jaw dislocations;
- diagnostics, invasive treatment of oral neoplasia, others.
In his work, the surgeon uses high-tech methods: a laser knife, innovative instruments, drugs that make it possible to carry out an invasion with minimal discomfort for the patient.

Main directions
Dental implantation
Dental prosthetics
Orthodontics
Therapy
Hygiene
The clinic offers treatment in orthopedic dentistry. Thanks to this direction, patients have the opportunity to restore the natural appearance of their teeth through crowns (several types of dental crowns are offered by our doctors at the clinic). We treat teeth using bridges and orthopedic structures, which are difficult to distinguish from natural teeth. We try to choose the color of the orthopedic materials so that it matches your teeth.
Dental implantation treatment is being performed at Reiter's dental clinic. We try to save all teeth and restore teeth from small remains, but if this is not possible, then we offer dental implantation in Moscow. Implantation allows you to restore a tooth (an artificial tooth), which will return you to full dental anatomy and functionality. In addition to implantation, your tooth will need a crown, which is installed on the implant and takes part in all processes of the tooth (mechanical role of the tooth, anatomical function of the tooth crown).
Another area of our dentistry in Moscow is orthodontics. In orthodontics, we see patients who need braces or orthodontic aligners. To correct the bite, we use modern technology and modern orthodontists. We have accumulated experience in orthodontics, which our doctors received not only in our clinic, but also in other dental centers throughout their professional careers.
Our next direction is therapy in dentistry. A fairly common problem encountered in dentistry is the treatment of carious cavities. It is very important to properly treat carious lesions, get rid of tissue destroyed by microbes and not form too large a cavity at the expense of healthy tissue (hypersensitivity to various types of irritation may occur). One of the important points in modern therapy is pain relief, which must be done very quickly and it must completely relieve the patient of increased sensitivity in the treatment area.
Surgeons at our clinic have to deal with some surgical problems, remove teeth and treat secondary pathologies. Our patients may need a dental surgeon when, during treatment (by another specialist at our clinic), a surgical pathology is identified and it needs to be treated quite promptly. Also, patients with primary pathology are registered with surgeons, the treatment of which is not difficult for our doctors.
The clinic develops hygienic areas and modern teeth whitening systems. We can offer you clinical whitening systems using special devices, or we can offer you a home teeth whitening system of the latest generation.
Orthopedic dentist
An orthopedist is a dentist who specializes in dental prosthetics. The goal of the prosthetist’s actions is to restore the functionality of the dentition. The doctor is responsible for all stages of preparation and installation of artificial structures. It restores the patient's ability to chew and a beautiful smile. Responsibilities of an orthopedic dentist:
- selection of a prosthetic method for a specific case;
- making dental impressions;
- carrying out fitting and fitting of the prosthesis;
- fixation of the orthopedic structure in the patient’s mouth.
There is a wide variety of orthopedic structures available to correct lost teeth. Only an orthopedic dentist can choose the best option.
Orthopedist
If the help of a therapist and periodontist did not produce results and the tooth could not be saved, it becomes necessary to install a prosthesis. This is what orthopedists do. At the first stage, their task is to obtain an impression of the tooth. Based on the results obtained, the dental technician makes a prosthesis. After this, the orthopedist first performs the so-called fitting, and then the final installation of the artificial tooth. There are many different options for prosthetics, from installing crowns to using removable jaws.

Dentist-periodontist
A periodontist deals with the treatment of non-inflammatory and inflammatory periodontal diseases (periodontal tissues). The specialist’s goals are to stop the process using conservative methods, prevent the loss of segments, and maintain the integrity of the row. The dentist of the periodontal department treats the following diseases:
- gingivitis;
- periodontitis;
- periodontal disease;
- flux;
- gum recession;
- tissue inflammation during the eruption of wisdom teeth (pericoronitis);
- benign tumor diseases of periodontium, etc.
A periodontist is a highly qualified doctor. In addition to treatment, he provides advisory support to patients and fellow dentists, and develops treatment tactics.
Periodontist
The teeth in the oral cavity are surrounded by soft tissue. They are in a rather vulnerable position and can suffer from various diseases. Periodontists are specialists who primarily deal with this problem, as well as the condition of the mucous membrane. In particular, such doctors, when tartar or other deposits appear above or below the gum, remove these tumors. When treating, periodontists often use so-called applications, applying medications directly to the area affected by the disease.

Implantologist
Implantology is a narrow specialization of dental surgery. An implantologist restores missing teeth in the mouth by implanting artificial roots (implants) into the jaw bones. Problems solved by an implantologist:
- absence of one or more teeth in a row;
- complete edentia;
- atrophy of the jaw bone.
The implantologist works in close collaboration with the orthopedist, since after implantation the patient is sent to the orthopedic office for prosthetics.
Dental treatment
Dental treatment under anesthesia, contrary to many opinions, is a safe procedure. The Elective Dental Clinic has a complete anesthesia center and is fully adapted to the requirements and recommendations related to patient safety.
Conservative treatment consists of treating the consequences of caries and saving the patient’s own tissues. 3D imaging is now routine in dental, maxillofacial surgery or orthodontics, and more recently also in endodontics and periodontics. The tomograph image is used, among other things, to determine the quality of previous treatment, the number of channels, their location and course.
Dentist-orthodontist
A specialist who corrects bite defects. He diagnoses and treats dental anomalies. Basic manipulations performed by an orthodontist:
- making impressions to create braces, lumineers, inlays;
- installation of bracket systems;
- management of the patient with braces until the end of the row correction;
- splinting of teeth, other.
An orthodontist helps patients eliminate congenital and acquired defects of the dentition or its individual segments.
Orthodontic dentistry
Orthodontists correct bites and straighten teeth. If there is a problem of improper positioning of teeth, you must seek help from a doctor of the above specialization. As a rule, braces are used to correct the bite. At the same time, it is possible to correct the bite not only in childhood, as was previously thought. Modern braces allow, if necessary, to straighten teeth for a person of any age. Therefore, if you want to have a beautiful smile and straight teeth, you need to consult an orthodontist.
Pediatric dentist
A pediatrician works with patients up to 17 years of age. He must understand the specific features of the structure and functioning of the jaw in childhood. Tasks of pediatric dentists:
- preventive examination;
- teaching the child hygiene skills;
- treatment of dental diseases;
- formation of the correct bite.
The specialist must have special communication skills that allow him to work with young patients. In addition, a dentist working with children must have the knowledge and technology to painlessly treat baby teeth.
Regardless of the specialty, a dentist performing services in a dental clinic has an impeccable knowledge of the theoretical aspects of the main branches of medicine: anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, pharmacology. The introduction of innovative technologies into the industry obliges dentists to promptly improve their qualification level, master special equipment, dental instruments, manual skills, and be able to work with software.
