What Is A Prosthodontist
A prosthodontist is a dentist with advanced education and training in both the appearance and function of teeth, or as we like to refer to it as, the art and science of restorative dentistry. The speciality allows us to focus on treatments that address missing teeth and jaw problems as well as patients facing extensive dental surgery.
Prosthodontist Education
A Prosthodontist spends several years in residency training after dental school, learning advanced principles of biomechanics, bioengineering, dental materials, and aesthetics. Before being awarded a specialty certificate, a prosthodontist must complete upwards of 9000 hours of continuing education specifically in the area of cosmetic, implant and bite reconstruction. Due to the rigorous education and training they undergo, prosthodontics are uniquely qualified to provide a diagnosis, treatment plan and treatment outcome that exceeds standards.
Think of a prosthodontist as the designer and architect of your mouth, providing you with high quality, individualized functional and cosmetic dentistry. We work to understand how the unique combination of your teeth, jaw joints, muscles, chewing movements, aesthetics, and individual habits combined with well chosen dental materials can provide you with the outcome you desire.
