Restoring Smiles with Precision & Expertise
Comprehensive Smile Restoration with Prosthodontics
Prosthodontics is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. This advanced field focuses on the restoration and replacement of teeth to improve the function, comfort and appearance of your smile. Whether you are missing one tooth, several teeth or have experienced significant damage to your oral structures, prosthodontics offers a personalized approach to restoring your dental health and confidence.
What Is a Prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has completed three additional years of advanced training beyond dental school. This training includes complex treatments related to missing teeth, damaged oral tissues and jaw function. Prosthodontists are highly skilled in restoring aesthetics, speech and chewing ability through a variety of restorative procedures designed to meet the specific needs of each patient.
Customized Treatment for Restoring Teeth
The primary goal of prosthodontics is to rehabilitate your smile in a way that looks natural and feels comfortable. This can include restoring decayed or fractured teeth, replacing missing teeth and managing complications caused by injury or disease. In many cases, prosthodontists lead a team of general dentists, oral surgeons and other healthcare providers to develop a coordinated plan tailored to your oral health goals.
Specialized Care for Complex Needs
Prosthodontics also plays a vital role in managing temporomandibular joint disorders, also known as TMJ, which can lead to jaw pain, headaches and bite issues. In addition, prosthodontists help patients with congenital or developmental facial differences and those who have experienced trauma to the mouth or jaw. Their expertise also supports aging patients who may face unique challenges due to bone loss or tooth wear.
By using advanced materials, state-of-the-art techniques and a detailed understanding of oral structures, prosthodontists deliver solutions that enhance both function and appearance. The result is a smile that not only looks great but also supports long-term oral health.
