We welcome them…let’s face the facts! When you go to a Prosthodontist, you are likely to get an earful of useful information that may prevent you from wasting your money, time, or even getting dental work done you will likely regret. Prosthodontists collect all the facts and consider all options, attempting to provide optimum health while offering predictable treatment alternatives as well.
A lot of trust must be placed in the hands of your general dentist to do no harm and give treatment recommendations based on one’s experience and level of training. There are unique cultures in different dental offices that may have an effect on your care: the herd ’em in and herd ’em out; the spa-like oasis; the one-stop shops; the same day dental work, etc…. For example, if you were to go to an economy denture-chain you may be pressured to get teeth extracted and focus on dentures. If you were to go to an implant denture chain–you may get impressed by technology of dental implants with fixed implant dentures.
On the other hand, some dental offices that offer all services under one roof may be too busy. If you begin to ask too many questions about your treatment, you may get rushed out of the room so that the doctor can see the next waiting patient. The culture of the practice, experience and level of training of the provider all have an effect on the overall care you will receive. Just remember, you always have options, hence why you should make sure that the professional opinion of your prosthodontist is considered.
Your prosthodontist has 3 years of advanced training, beyond dental school, in treatment planning, diagnosing, and providing cosmetic dentistry, dental implants, removable dentures, smile makeovers, and reconstructive dentistry. Your prosthodontist has undergone rigorous training in rebuilding and maintaining the smallest to the most complex dental cripples. So, if you ever wondered if there were other alternatives, one might want to start with the opinion of your prosthodontist. Here you will be presented with both the advantages and disadvantages of treatment and allowed to ask questions in a relaxed environment. I think it is why we don’t fear second opinions, we want you to make the most educated decision about your oral health care before any treatment is undertaken.
As the architects of dental treatment plans, prosthodontists lead the way and consistently collaborate with other professional healthcare teams.
