Why choose a prosthodontist?

Extensive dental treatments involving the whole mouth is very costly and are best handled by a specialist with the knowledge and skill to deliver the results. A prosthodontist plays the role of an “architect” and an artisan. As an “architect”, a prosthodontist works with the patients to visualize the smile they want. A mouth full of broken teeth can be reconstructed into a perfect set of teeth using a combination of wax modeling and computer aided design.  Patients are often able to see how they will look in their new smile even before starting treatment. As an “artisan”, a prosthodontist has a trained eye for beauty, form and function and has the expertise to create and deliver the results.

What does a prosthodontist do?

A prosthodontist is trained in restoring complex dental problems involving the whole mouth. Four important goals guide the process of coming to a final treatment plan:

  1. creating an esthetically pleasing smile

  2. being able to eat well

  3. compatibility with long term oral health and hygiene

  4. simplify the plan to achieve the first 3 goals in the most efficient, predictable and cost-effective way.
