While many other dentists can perform some or all of these treatments, Prosthodontists are the specialists dedicated to replacement and rehabilitation of oral structures and function. The extra three years of formal specialist level training following dental school qualifies them as the experts in the field of restorative, replacement, rehabilitative and esthetic dentistry. A sort of quarterback of the dental treatment team, Prosthodontists often lead general dentists, specialists and other health professionals in developing the best solutions and most desirable outcomes for your dental needs.

Dental restorations make your mouth whole again. When a tooth cracks, breaks, or goes missing, dental restorations replace either the whole tooth or part of it, restoring your beautiful smile to its original or better condition and improving the function of your mouth when eating and speaking.
Each of these procedures generally requires multiple office visits, but will leave your mouth fully restored. Youll have a beautiful smile and functional teeth that allow you to eat and speak without worry.
