What Treatments Does a Prosthodontist Provide?

A prosthodontist can provide and coordinate treatments that restore the function, comodidad, salud, and appearance of a patient’s smile. Depending on the patient’s needs, treatment may include:

• Implantes dentales
• Complete dentures
• Dentaduras parciales
• Coronas dentales
• Puentes dentales
• Porcelain veneers
• Restoration of worn, fracturado, or damaged teeth
• Complex bite rehabilitation

Prosthodontic treatment considers more than the appearance of individual teeth. The fit, stability, morder, chewing function, facial support, dental materials, and long-term maintainability of the restoration are also important parts of planning care.

What Is the Difference Between a Dentist and a Prosthodontist?

A general dentist provides preventive, diagnostic, restorative, and other routine dental services. A prosthodontist is a dentist who has completed additional specialty training focused on restoring and replacing teeth and managing complex restorative cases.

Many patients continue to see their general dentist for routine care while working with a prosthodontist for specialized treatment. When appropriate, the prosthodontist can coordinate with the patient’s general dentist and other dental or medical professionals.
