you are eligible to apply to post-doctoral specialty programs with your degree. you have to research the programs' requirements. every programs' requirements are different. go to PASS website and use the search engine. Only some certain states allows you to practice as a specialist in their State if you dont have a US DDS degree. you can get that information on www.ada.org

I can't comment on being better or not but yes ftds have got into post doc programs directly without going through DDS programs. You might be asked to have a GRE and TOEFL score also.
