Prosthodontics

A Prosthodontist is an expert in the esthetic restoration and replacement of one or multiple teeth. A prosthodontist is the skilled architect who can restore optimum function and appearance to your smile, even under the most challenging circumstances.

Prosthodontics is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. After completing dental school, Prosthodontists receive three additional years of full-time specialized training in the esthetic restoration and replacement of teeth with crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays, complete and removable partial dentures and dental implants.

Just like a general dentist, a prosthodontist can treat cavities, make crowns (caps) and provide preventive treatment to stop problems before they start, but they can also solve more advanced issues.

Prosthodontists are dedicated to the highest standards of care in the restoration and replacement of teeth and are used to treat the more difficult and advanced dental problems. Some examples may include restoring the whole mouth with crowns and veneers, or making sure that implants are placed in the best position to function, look and feel natural.

A prosthodontist will act as a "team leader" or "quarterback", guiding other specialists (such as oral surgeons, periodontists and orthodontists) whose expertise may be needed to successfully complete these intricate dental treatments.

In short, whether your dental problem is big or small, a Prosthodontist can give you back your smile and assure that you are obtaining the best possible care for your dentition.
