Prosthodontics: The Art and Science of Restorative Dentistry
Redefining Your Smile, Restoring Your Life
Welcome to the world of Prosthodontics, the specialized branch of dentistry dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance, and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or maxillofacial tissues.
A Prosthodontist is a highly trained dental specialist with an additional three years of advanced education beyond dental school. This extensive training focuses on complex restorative procedures, the intricate mechanics of the bite (occlusion), the aesthetics of a smile, and the latest in dental biomaterials and technologies. When you choose a Prosthodontist, you're choosing a master of dental restoration.
What Does Prosthodontics Address?
Prosthodontics offers comprehensive solutions for a wide range of oral health challenges, including:
- Missing Teeth: Whether you're missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch, we provide durable and aesthetic replacements.
- Damaged or Worn Teeth: Teeth that are severely decayed, fractured, or eroded can be restored to full function and beauty.
- Complex Bite Problems: Issues related to an improper bite (malocclusion), jaw pain (TMJ disorders), and tooth grinding (bruxism) are carefully evaluated and treated.
- Aesthetic Concerns: From discolored teeth to misshapen smiles, we craft solutions that enhance facial harmony and confidence.
- Failed or Worn-out Dental Work: Replacing old, failing fillings, crowns, or bridges with modern, long-lasting alternatives.
- Full Mouth Rehabilitation: For patients with extensive dental needs, we design and implement complete oral reconstruction plans.
