What is a Prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on rebuilding damaged tooth structure, replacing missing teeth, creating a functional bite and enhancing smile aesthetics. In addition to completing four years of dental school, prosthodontists have received three years of advanced training in a graduate program accredited by the American Dental Association (ADA). With the goal of achieving best oral health, a prosthodontist offers a variety of services, including implant surgery, cosmetic and restorative dentistry and general dental care.
How to Select the Best Dentist for Aesthetic and Complex Dental Needs?
- Does the dentist have proper credentials and a trustworthy background?
- How many years have they been in practice?
- Is a comprehensive diagnostic exam rendered before a treatment plan is presented?
- Are restorations created using high-quality materials that offer both durability and natural-looking aesthetics?
- Does the dentist perform the procedures you would like to have done? Do they have before-and-after photos of patients?
- What do former patients say about their experiences in testimonials and online reviews?
It is most important that you choose a dentist you feel comfortable with and confident in. He or she should clearly understand your needs and be able to communicate the treatments that can achieve your goals with healthy, functional, long-lasting results. While experienced practitioners who deliver state-of-the-art care with high-quality material typically require more of an up-front investment, the results may last for decades.
