What is Prosthodontics?
Prosthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on restoring and replacing missing or damaged teeth and oral tissues. It combines the art and science of creating custom prosthetics to restore smiles and improve oral health.
What Do Prosthodontists Do?
Prosthodontists are experts in diagnosing, planning, and executing treatments to restore the function, comfort, appearance, and health of your mouth. They handle everything from single missing teeth to complex full-mouth reconstructions.
When Should You See a Prosthodontist?
You may need to consult a prosthodontist if you experience:
- Missing teeth
- Severely damaged teeth
- Jaw joint problems (TMJ disorders)
- Mouth or facial pain
- Cosmetic concerns
- Obstructive sleep apnea
What Treatments Do Prosthodontists Provide?
Prosthodontists use advanced techniques and materials to create custom-made prosthetics, including:
- Dentures: Full or partial dentures to replace missing teeth.
- Crowns and Bridges: To restore damaged teeth or replace missing ones.
- Implants: Artificial tooth roots that provide a foundation for replacement teeth.
- Veneers: Thin coverings that enhance the appearance of teeth.
- Oral Splints and Night Guards: To address TMJ disorders and sleep apnea.
Prosthodontists vs. General Dentists
While general dentists can perform some restorative treatments, prosthodontists have advanced training and expertise in managing complex cases. Think of it this way: a general dentist is like a family doctor, providing routine care, while a prosthodontist is like a specialized surgeon, addressing advanced dental issues that require expert solutions.
If you’re unsure whether you need prosthodontic treatment, consult with your dentist. They can assess your needs and refer you to a prosthodontist if necessary.
