    Prosthodontic Dentist

    A prosthodontist must undergo three additional years of specialized study in a prosthodontics program in addition to dental school. These dentists are experts in developing individualized recovery programs for perhaps the most complicated situations.

    What is a Prosthodontics?

    Prosthodontics in dentistry focuses on the design, manufacture, and fitting of artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth. It involves restoring and maintaining oral function, comfort, appearance, and health of patients with missing or deficient teeth, as well as tissue using biocompatible substitutes. Dental prosthetics may be used to heal a single tooth or a whole arch of teeth, as well as to improve patients' smiles. Prosthodontists are often qualified to offer the following services:

    psooteics

    Prosthodontics Include

    1 Replacement of Missing Teeth
    1. Dental Implants. For those who have lost one or more teeth, prosthodontists can place dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots used to support a crown or bridge.
    2. Dentures. For patients missing several or all of their teeth, prosthodontists create partial or complete dentures.
    3. Dental Bridges. Design and fit dental bridges to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth.
    2 Complex Restorations
    1. In cases of severe dental wear, trauma, or decay affecting most or all teeth, prosthodontists can perform full mouth reconstructions.
    2. Treat issues related to jaw joint discomfort or dysfunction.
    3. Prosthodontists also address dental-related sleep conditions, such as obstructive sleep apnea, often through specialized oral appliances.
    3 Cosmetic Dentistry

    Prosthodontics often overlaps with cosmetic dentistry, as it includes:

    1. For cosmetic enhancements, prosthodontists expertly fix porcelain veneers, teeth bonding and crowns that improve the appearance of natural teeth.
    2. Provide professional teeth whitening services.

    What to Expect in Prosthodontic Treatment

    • Prosthodontists devise a detailed treatment plan, which may involve coordination with other dental and medical professionals.
    • They ensure that all prosthetic components are custom-made to fit your mouth and match the appearance of your natural teeth.
