PROSTHODONTICS
Prosthodontics is a dental specialty recognized by the American Dental Association that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of oral function, comfort, appearance, and health of patients with missing or deficient teeth and maxillofacial tissues. Prosthodontists complete three years of extended training in restorative dentistry, including dental implants, crowns, veneers, bridges, and dentures, as well as the technical and technological aspects of dental prosthetic fabrication and the complex restoration of dental and facial esthetics.
Prosthodontists are viewed as the leaders of dental diagnosis and treatment planning and are trained to treat patients with complex dental needs, from the repair or replacement of a single tooth to full-mouth reconstruction. Through skilled treatment planning and collaboration with dental colleagues and laboratory technicians, prosthodontists are able to provide patients with a customized, functional, and high-end restorative outcome.
