Prosthodontics

Prosthodontics is the specialized field of dentistry focused on diagnosing, planning, and executing restorative and cosmetic treatments. Dentists specializing in prosthodontics must complete three or four years of dedicated training following dental school.
A prosthodontist formulates comprehensive treatment plans for typically complex dental cases. These cases often involve working with other dental specialists to deliver the comprehensive dental care needed to restore a functional, long-lasting, esthetic smile, that patients deserve. Missing or defective teeth can be extremely detrimental to self-esteem and self-confidence. Using the latest technology, a prosthodontist can fill these gaps with functional, natural-looking teeth that boost confidence and enhance the smile.
