While routine preventive care is the foundation of your oral health and will help you enjoy a great smile for life, there may be times when your smile needs extra care. This is where dental specialties come in. A specialty is an area of dentistry that has been recognized by the American Dental Association® and requires additional training. General dentists often refer complex cases to dental specialists in order to ensure that you are receiving the best possible care for your needs.

Here at SeaBreeze Dental,  Capitola Dentist Dr. Jesse Halbleib has completed the additional training required to offer specialized care. Some areas of dental specialty offered at our practice include:

• Periodontics — A field of dental specialty focused on treatment issues of the gums (including periodontal, or gum, disease) and other tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth.
• Orthodontics — A field of dentistry focused on correcting misaligned teeth or other issues in how the teeth fit together.
• Endodontics — A field of specialty focused on studying and treating dental pulp, or the innermost layers of the teeth containing the tooth’s living tissue.
