Why does your smile deserve a prosthodontic specialist?

You may wonder what a Prosthodontist is and how a Prosthodontist can help you with your dental care. A Prosthodontist is an expert in the restoration and replacement of teeth, specializing in implant, esthetic, and reconstructive dentistry, and dedicated to the health of the entire mouth. A Prosthodontist can provide a wide range of dental services, ranging from routine preventive care and single tooth fillings to the most complex restorative treatment.

Prosthodontics is one of the nine specialties officially recognized by the American Dental Association. The other specialties are: Orthodontics, Endodontics, Periodontics, Oral Surgery, Public Health Dentistry, Oral Radiology, Pediatric Dentistry, and Oral Pathology. There are no recognized “cosmetic” or “implant” specialties or specialists. Prosthodontists have at least two additional years of full-time training in an accredited specialty program after graduation from Dental School, not merely day or week-long continuing education courses. A Prosthodontist has extensive training in the areas of crowns, bridges, veneers, cosmetic dentistry, implants, dental reconstruction, full and partial dentures, bite problems and facial or jaw pain.

A Prosthodontist can use his diagnostic expertise and dental skills to help your mouth look, feel, and function better and remain healthy for years. The Prosthodontic specialist can also direct patients through appropriate referrals to other specialists who will set the stage for dental restoration. A consultation with a Prosthodontist will help you to better understand your options to address any of your dental concerns, whether large or small.

When considering your own dental needs, don’t you deserve the care provided by a specialist?
