Prosthodontics
Why See a Prosthodontist?
Prosthodontics, also known as dental prosthetics or prosthetic dentistry, is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). Prosthodontists specialize in the diagnosis, restoration, and replacement of missing or damaged teeth to restore oral function, comfort, and appearance. Common treatments include crowns, bridges, dentures, dental implants, and other custom restorations.
Prosthodontists receive extensive education and training, completing an additional three years of specialized study after earning a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) or DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) degree. This advanced training is completed at an ADA-accredited prosthodontic education program and focuses on state-of-the-art techniques for managing complex dental conditions.
With their specialized expertise, prosthodontists are uniquely qualified to restore both the function and aesthetics of a healthy smile. Advanced tooth wear or deterioration often involves more than simple tooth loss, and our office is experienced in addressing these complex issues. We often serve as the “architect” of your treatment plan, working closely with your general dentist and other dental specialists to ensure comprehensive care.
Prosthodontic treatment can dramatically transform your smile and may include services such as veneers, inlay/ onlays, bonding, dental implants, dentures, teeth whitening, bridges, and crowns.
