What Is Restorative Dentistry & Prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is a specialized field within dentistry that deals with the design, creation, and fitting of artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth.

Prosthodontics
Our specialized team provides comprehensive care for patients needing dentures, crowns, and bridges, ensuring comfort and functionality.

Dental Crowns & Bridges
We mill our precise, high-quality crowns and bridges in-house, providing lasting durability and aesthetics.
Dental Bridges
A bridge can replace missing teeth without the use of a denture or dental implant. A bridge is composed of two crowns and a replacement tooth or teeth. Crowns are typically placed on the teeth on either side of the space, with the fabricated tooth or teeth attached in between.
For multiple missing teeth, an implant may be used to anchor the bridge.
Dental Implant Restorations
Our implant restorations offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, with options for full or partial dentures.
Dentures
A denture is a replacement for multiple missing teeth within the same (upper or lower) arch. A denture differs from a crown or bridge in that it does not rely on an existing tooth structure, and it completely replaces the missing teeth.
There are several different types of dentures:
- Full or Partial
- Removable or Fixed
- Traditional or Implant-Supported
Frequently Asked Questions About Restorative Dentistry & Prosthodontics
What is the difference between a crown and a bridge?
A crown covers a damaged tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth.
How long do dental restorations last?
With proper care, restorations like crowns and bridges can last for many years, often 10-15 years or longer.
Can I eat normally with dental implants?
Yes, dental implants are designed to mimic natural teeth, allowing you to eat your favorite foods without worry.
What should I do if my denture feels uncomfortable?
Contact us for an appointment. We can usually adjust Ill-fitting dentures for improved comfort.
How often should I visit after getting a prosthodontic treatment?
Regular check-ups every six months ensure your restorations remain in excellent condition.
