Prosthodontics
Sidebar
Prosthodontists are dental specialists focused on the restoration and replacement of teeth. They play a crucial role in improving oral function and aesthetics for patients who have lost teeth or have significant dental issues.
What does a prosthodontist do?
A prosthodontist might:
- Design and place dental prosthetics like crowns and bridges to replace missing teeth.
- Fabricate dentures for patients without teeth and partial dentures for patients with some remaining natural teeth.
- Provide maxillofacial prosthetic devices for patients who have had surgery or who have congenital deformities.
