What is a Prosthodontist Specialist?

Essentially, prosthodontists are THE recognized experts when anything needs to be replaced in your mouth. This can range from a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth and gums in the mouth! While many other dentists can do some or all of these treatments, prosthodontists are the specialists dedicated to this type of care.

Prosthodontists expertly restore and replace teeth. They have trained 3 additional years after completing dental school. Prosthodontists are also considered the “quarterback” of the dental treatment plan. They regularly lead teams of general dentists, specialists, and other health professionals to develop solutions for your dental needs.

Prosthodontists also understand patients’ unique needs such as:

• Maxillofacial prosthetic procedures such as oral cancer reconstruction and continuing care • TMD, TMJ or other jaw joint problems • Traumatic injuries • Snoring and sleep disorders • Cleft palate and other congenital conditions that affect the mouth.

Rigorous training and experience provide prosthodontists with a special understanding of the dynamics of a smile and the preservation of a healthy mouth.
