What is the difference between a dds,dmd,pc and which one is the best if i want crowns caps or implants?

DDS and DMD are the same degree earned at different dental schools. I do not know what PC stands for.

DDS (doctor dental surgery) is the best trained dental professional. You'd prefer a DDS for serious procedures like crowns, implants, root canals and tooth extractions.
Reply:DDS is Doctor of Dental Surgery and DMD is Doctor of Medical Dentistry. The curriculum is the same for both, the actual title is dependent upon where the degree was earned. You cannot determine which one would be more qualified for quality crowns and implants based on their title. You will need to research the dentist himself.
Reply:There is no difference. "They" just changed the degree name to "more closely reflect the education." One school that I know of offered a CHOICE between getting a DDS or a DMD while they made the transition. DDS is the older degree and DMD is "more modern." That's all. Unlike the DO vs. MD thing, where there once really was a difference, DMD and DDS do not represent a different school of thought.





PC means professional corporation.
