You ask the lay person and you’re likely to get: “Uhhhh….? Someone who deals with the prostate?” or “A what!?!?”
Nowadays, you ask your general dentist this question and you might get: “a dentist that does the hard dentistry” or “a specialist in implants, cosmetics, and dentures.”
The truth is that we are not your everyday dentist. Prosthodontists are your smile experts dedicated to:
- Improving your oral health
- Providing a range of options of replacing missing or fixing damaged teeth
- Ensuring that replacements look natural and function appropriately
- Surpassing standard workmanship
Compared to the building industry, a prosthodontist is like your “Master Architect,” and “Master Builder,” combined into one person for restoring your smile.
A prosthodontist has 3 years of advanced training at an ADA accredited institution, beyond dental school in designing, diagnosing, and restoring or replacing teeth utilizing dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, inlays/onlays, dentures, and partials. Trained to treat the most debilitating dental situations, it may prove to be advantageous to seek the expert second opinion of your local prosthodontist. There really isn’t a situation that is too small. For more information about why should you see a prosthodontist or to find a specialist near you, visit gotoapro.org.
