Becoming one means completing a full dental degree, then dedicating another two to six years to full-time, accredited residency training in a single field \u2014 periodontics, endodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, or another specialty. That deep, focused training leads to board certification, something a specialist has to keep earning through ongoing education and demonstrated clinical skill.<\/p>\n<p>At Prestige Dental Specialists in Annandale, that&#8217;s exactly who takes care of you. Our team includes board-certified periodontists, board-certified endodontists, and a board-certified oral surgeon \u2014 clinicians who\u2019ve built their entire careers around a specific, complex corner of dentistry. When your general dentist refers you to a specialist, this is the kind of care we&#8217;ve dedicated ourselves to providing: the expertise of someone who has spent years mastering exactly the problem you&#8217;re facing.
