Collaborative care
Getting the right fit
A dentist who specializes in treating complex dental and facial conditions (prosthodontist) works with dental lab technicians to make dental crowns that fit precisely.
The dental specialties team coordinates your care with doctors in other specialties as needed, such as oral maxillofacial surgery, plastic and reconstructive surgery, otolaryngology, radiation oncology, and medical oncology. By working together, these experts help ensure each person gets exactly the care needed for serious and complex oral health conditions.
Mayo Clinic's Department of Dental Specialties in Minnesota provides collaborative care for adults and children who require specialized dental care. Depending on the person's needs, the care team may include one or more specialists.
Our doctors work with colleagues in head and neck surgery, plastic surgery, sleep medicine, and ear, nose and throat surgery, also called otolaryngology.
