WHAT IS A PROSTHODONTIST?

A prosthodontist is a dental specialist focused on restoring and replacing missing or diseased teeth. Prosthodontists undergo advanced training beyond dental school to excel in designing, fabricating, and fitting dental prostheses such as dentures, bridges, crowns, veneers, and dental implants. Their expertise extends from general dentistry to managing complex multidisciplinary rehabilitation. Prosthodontists aim to restore both function and aesthetics, addressing issues stemming from trauma, congenital conditions, or dental diseases. Proficient in cosmetic dentistry, occlusion, temporomandibular disorders (TMJ), and dental materials, they play a vital role in helping patients achieve optimal oral health and a natural-looking, functional smile. Through all of their experience in prosthodontics and working with other specialists and laboratory technicians, prosthodontists are uniquely poised to seamlessly meld artistry and science to provide long-lasting functional restorative solutions that look phenomenal.
