What is a Prosthodontist?
Prosthodontists, like Oral Surgeons, Periodontists and Orthodontists are specialists in one specific field of dentistry. Their intensive training is beyond the standard norms of the dental degree. They also interface with researchers and clinical experts from numerous other medical disciplines, tending to give them a wide range of diagnostic insight and diversified approaches to oral health solutions.
A Prosthodontist's area of expertise includes dental implants, ceramic crowns, porcelain fused to metal crowns, gold crowns, inlays and veneers, removable complete and partial dentures and fixed bridges.
Imperfect teeth, whether by birth abnormality, traumatic accident or natural decay, can have a negative impact from self-image to relationships to career opportunities. One's quality of life can be improved with attractive, functional teeth in the office of a Prosthodontist.
