Why Choose a Prosthodontist for Your Restorative Needs?

While all general dentists can perform some restorative procedures, a Prosthodontist is a dental specialist.

Advanced Technology & Materials

We leverage cutting-edge dental technologies and the finest biocompatible materials to ensure superior results, greater patient comfort, and enhanced efficiency:

• Digital Impressions: For unparalleled accuracy, comfort, and a quicker process compared to traditional impressions.
• CAD/CAM Technology: Computer-aided design and manufacturing for precise, custom-milled restorations with exact fit.
• 3D Imaging (CBCT): Cone Beam Computed Tomography for detailed diagnostic and treatment planning, especially for implant placement.
• High-Quality Ceramics & Zirconia: For strong, aesthetic, and durable prosthetics that mimic natural tooth structure.
