Our Practice
What is Prosthodontics?Prosthodontics is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). Like other specialties, prosthodontics takes the standard of care to a higher level with additional training of the doctor. Prosthodontics covers cosmetics, dental implants, and rehabilitation of the oral cavity so patients can smile and eat with confidence. Treatments include veneers, crowns, bridges, partials and dentures, and dental implants. From the simple to the most complex, seeing a Prosthodontist will ensure you will receive the highest level of care available. How Does a Dentist Become a Prosthodontist?All dentists are general dentists when they graduate from dental school. A general dentist must complete an additional three years of advanced training and education in an ADA-accredited prosthodontic residency program to become a Prosthodontist. The other eight specialties are: Dental Public Health, Endodontics, Oral Pathology, Oral Radiology, Oral Surgery, Orthodontics, Pediatric Dentistry, and Periodontics. Please be aware that family and cosmetic dentistry are NOT recognized by the ADA as a specialty. Who Sould See a Prosthodontist?Virtually, anyone can see a prosthodontist. If you are not happy with your smile, missing a single tooth or missing many teeth, seeing a prosthodontist ensures you will be receiving treatment at the specialty level. Consequently, as your treatments and desires become more demanding, your need for a prosthodontist also becomes more demanding.
