Grab NPD Blog Feed Prosthodontists are dentists who specialize in replacing broken or missing teeth and restoring smiles to their proper appearance and function. Prosthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry related to the diagnosis, treatment and maintenance of oral comfort and appearance, and function. When someone loses a tooth or teeth, the inability to chew properly and a changed facial appearance often result. A prosthodontist can restore a patient's appearance, and help them regain the proper function of the teeth.
What do prosthodontists do?
Prosthodontists offer patients many treatment options including dental implants, crowns, dentures, veneers and bridges, and metal free fillings.
Dental implants in particular have revolutionized the treatment for missing teeth, and prosthodontists are on the forefront of this technology. A dental implant is essentially a tooth replacement. A titanium replica of the root is embedded into the bone of the jaw. The bone fuses to the titanium insert within the jaw bone. Then, onto the dental implant, a tooth is added.
Patients who demand stunning smiles, from ever day people to celebrities and politicians, seek out prosthodontists for advanced aesthetic dentistry that looks great and feels wonderful. The ability of prosthodontists to visualize the whole picture is what allows them to envision the patients’ aesthetic needs and create the desired aesthetic results from start to finish. Prosthodontists have advanced training and experience so they can best treat difficult or complex cases.
If a healthy and dazzling smile is important to you, you owe it to yourself to see a prosthodontist. Keep in mind, that even though it is a recognized specialty, you do not need a referral.
