What is a Prosthodontist?
A Specialist in Restoring Smiles to Full Health, Function and Beauty
Prosthodontists are architects of the mouth. Their expertise allows them to design the perfect treatment plan for each individual.
A prosthodontist is a recognized dental specialist who completes three years of postgraduate education in the aesthetic restoration and replacement of teeth—after earning a general dental degree. They can effectively diagnose and treat even the most complex cases. They are specialists in restoring your smile to full health, function and beauty.
Advanced Training in Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
Prosthodontists receive advanced training above that of general dentists in the design, fabrication and placement of crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures and full-arch new teeth. This includes restorations (crowns, bridges or dentures) for dental implants. Their training includes both the functional and cosmetic aspects of restorations.
Prosthodontists are trained in establishing proper bite alignment. They are also specialists in rebuilding your smile after traumatic injuries or oral cancer. These combined skills give them special expertise in cosmetic smile makeovers and full-mouth rehabilitation.
Leading a team of specialists
The prosthodontist’s training makes him able to plan treatment for complex cases. When the work needed for a complex situation requires procedures from several specialties, the prosthodontist oversees and coordinates a team of dental specialists, who provide their part of the treatments for the patient’s overall program. Our doctor will work closely with experienced local specialists, as needed.
