Boston Prosthodontics Dental Group includes three board-certified prosthodontists as members of its elite team that can handle all of our patients needs under one roof. Our doctors represent leaders in dental education, internationally renowned lecturers, and developers of cutting-edge research.
Prosthodontists are specifically trained in helping patients with dental implants, crowns, bridges, and dentures, as well as cosmetic dentistry and temporomandibular disorders (TMJ/TMD). They are also trained in correcting issues involving the face, jaw, and mouth.
The in-office dental laboratory works with the finest and most well researched dental materials available and allows for ultimate communication between doctor, patient, and laboratory technician to achieve superior results for our patients.
While our prosthodontists treat many of the same oral health concerns as general dentists, their in-depth training allows them to treat a broader variety of issues themselves instead of sending patients to practices throughout the Boston region.
Boston Prosthodontics Dental Group has three board-certified prosthodontists on its world-renowned team of dentists. To qualify for board certification in the prosthodontic field, our dentists passed an in-depth exam by the American Board of Prosthodontists. They must then achieve re-certification every eight years to ensure they keep current with practices in their specialty.
