What is a Prosthodontist?

Lost tooth? Chipped tooth? Don’t worry — there are many ways to restore the beauty of your smile. Whether with a crown, bridge, veneer, inlay, onlay or implant, it is possible to restore the health and appearance of your teeth — and there are dentists who specialize in providing patients with the best dental treatments available. These dentists are called prosthodontists.

So, what exactly is a prosthodontist?

A prosthodontist specializes in replacing and restoring teeth and jaw structures. After intensive training in a program accredited by the American Dental Association, a prosthodontist is an expert in providing patients with many restorative dental procedures, including: dentures, removable partial dentures, crowns, bridges, caps, veneers and dental implants. Prosthodontists are highly trained in all restorative dental procedures, ranging from single tooth replacements to multiple teeth restorations. When you use a prosthodontist for your restorative dental procedure, you know that you are receiving care from an expert who is trained in completed complex dental procedures, while restoring the functionality and aesthetics of your smile.
