What is a Prosthodontist
Also called prosthetic dentistry, prosthodontics involves the replacement of teeth or gum tissue with artificial devices to maintain function, comfort, health and an attractive appearance. Our technological capabilities in this area partner with years of expertise performing procedures including single and multiple tooth implants, crowns and bridges, partial dentures, full dentures, and removable dentures.
Prosthodontists, like orthodontists, periodontists, endodontists and pedodontists, are specialists in one specific field of dentistry. Their training to provide expertise in restorative treatment has been rigorous, and their day-to-day experience in practice touches every conceivable challenge in delivering smiles with high level function, maximum comfort and pristine esthetics.A prosthodontist's intensive training beyond the standard norms of the dental degree interfaces them with researchers and clinical experts from numerous other medical disciplines, tending to give them a wide range of diagnostic insight and diversified approaches to oral health solutions.
