Why See a Prosthodontist?

Why See a Prosthodontist?

You need the care of a prosthodontist if:
    -You are missing one or more teeth
    -You are interested in dental implants
    -You wear dentures or removable partial dentures
    -You want to improve the esthetics of your smile

Prosthodontics (also known as dental prosthetics or prosthetic dentistry) is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) and American Dental Association (ADA). Prosthodontists specialize in the diagnosis, restoration, and replacement of missing teeth. Prosthodontists can restore oral function through the placement of restorations or prostheses (dentures, crowns, implants, etc.).

Extensive training and experience give prosthodontists a unique understanding of restoring the dynamics of a smile and healthy mouth with the creation of tooth prostheses. Becoming a prosthodontist requires an additional three years of specialty training after obtaining a DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) or DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree.

This specialized training must be completed at an ADA-accredited prosthodontic education program. This is where prosthodontists are highly trained in state-of-the-art techniques and procedures for treating multiple, diverse, and complex dental conditions. They will also learn how to restore the optimum function and aesthetics of a smile.

Advanced deterioration of a patient's teeth usually creates issues besides loss of tooth or tooth structure which can be addressed by our office. While we may serve as the "architect" of a dental treatment plan, we often collaborate with your general dentist and other specialists to facilitate the complete treatment of your condition.

Prosthodontic treatment can literally redesign your smile with a number of different services including veneers, inlay/onlays, bonding, dental implants, dentures, teeth whitening, bridges, and crowns. Call our office at 416-285-8105 to schedule an appointment today!
