Why a Prosthodontist?

Sometimes several or all of a person's natural teeth need to be repaired and missing teeth replaced.  This a major undertaking.  A number of visits are needed for measurements, preparations, and fittings.  Between these visits, a lot of planning, preparation of temporary teeth and crafting of final crowns, implants or dentures take place.  

A prosthodontist can help you have the most attractive, natural-looking teeth.  Broken, stained, decayed, worn, or missing teeth can be successfully repaired or replaced using modern prosthodontic techniques such as dental implants, crowns, and veneers.  A prosthodontist can provide dental implants, which some people prefer to dentures.

In addition to dental school, a prosthodontist must complete extensive training in advanced methods for replacing and restoring teeth.  Often a prosthodontist acts as the architect of your dental treatment plan to enhance your dental health, to restore functionality, and to resolve complex dental conditions.
