The field of prosthodontics relates to all dental procedures that involve repairing or replacing teeth with prosthetics.
This includes things like dental crowns & bridges, dentures, and even dental implants.
The term "prostho" means replacement and "dontist" means dealing with teeth. Prosthodontists are experts on anything which needs
to be replaced in your mouth. Replacement can range from a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth and gums in the mouth. Many other dentists can
do some of these treatments, prosthodontists are the specialists dedicated to this type of care.
A prosthodontist is a dentist with advanced specialty training who create optimal oral health, both in function and appearance including dental implants,
dentures, veneers, crowns, and teeth whitening. A prosthodontist is focused on all aspects of dental health and restoration.
