3. What is a Prosthodontist?

Prosthodontists, like orthodontists, periodontists, endodontists and pedodontists, are specialists in one specific field of dentistry. Their training to provide expertise in restorative treatment has been rigorous, and their day-to-day experience in practice touches every conceivable challenge in delivering smiles with high level function, maximum comfort and pristine esthetics.

A prosthodontist's intensive training beyond the standard norms of the dental degree interfaces them 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. Imperfect teeth, whether by birth abnormality, traumatic accident or natural decay, can be replaced with attractive, functional teeth in the office of a prosthodontist.
