<p class="DGspeakableP1">The planning and commissioning of a complete smile makeover may necessitate a team of several dental professionals. More often than not, that team is headed by a prosthodontist.

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Prosthodontists are recognized as the go-to professionals for replacing anything in the mouth. While various types of dentists have some training in restorative dentistry, prosthodontists have years of additional education.</p>
<p>Upon completing dental school, prosthodontists must receive an extra three years of advanced training through <a title="Read more about How To Become A Prosthodontist" href="http://doctorly.org/how-to-become-a-prosthodontist/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Prosthodontist">a graduate program accredited by the American Dental Association</a>.

<p>Many prosthodontists choose to seek board certification to set them even further apart from other dental professionals. This designation demonstrates a commitment to lifelong learning and ethical practices. Board certification also shows that the professional values the patient-doctor relationship and is devoted to advancing restorative dentistry.</p>
<p>To obtain board certification, a prosthodontist must successfully pass the <a title="Read more about Potential Candidates" href="https://www.abpros.org/potential-candidates" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Prosthodontist">American Board of Prosthodontics' four-part examination</a>.

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Why Prosthodontics</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Patients who can benefit from a prosthodontist's care and knowledge often have complex or atypical dental restoration needs. A prosthodontist can help with the following issues:
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li>Cleft palates or missing teeth</li>
<li>Complete and removable partial dentures</li>
<li>Complex care management</li>
<li>Cosmetic dentistry</li>
<li>Dental implants</li>
<li>Oral cancer reconstruction</li>
<li>Snoring and sleep disorders</li>
<li>Temporomandibular joint syndrome/disorder</li>
<li>Tooth replacement</li>
<li>Traumatic facial injuries</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>While cosmetic dentists and general dentists can provide care for some of the above issues, consultation with a prosthodontist before undergoing dental restoration helps explore various treatment options. Prosthodontists have advanced training and utilize the most current restoration technology and techniques. Moreover, these professionals work with an understanding of the mouth's intricate dynamics, which helps achieve optimal smile makeover results.</p>

<a name="areas-of-prosthodontic-treatment"></a>
<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Areas of Prosthodontic Treatment</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>All prosthodontic patients undergo an extensive examination and consultation before receiving treatment. Once the doctor has a deep understanding of a patient's needs, an in-depth treatment plan is devised that may or may not necessitate several other dental professionals. Though the list of treatments is extensive, prosthodontists <a title="Read more about What is a Prosthodontist?" href="https://www.dentalplans.com/dental-information/types-of-dentists/prosthodontist" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Prosthodontist">generally offer the following services</a>:
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li><b>Crowns:</b> Patients may need crowns if they recently underwent a root canal or have fractured, misshapen or broken teeth. Crowns cover the entire visible surface of a tooth above the gum line. They are sometimes also known as caps.</li>
<li><b>Porcelain Veneers:</b> Veneers are ultra-thin casings of ceramic that cover the front of the tooth. Veneers reshape, elongate, or change the color of teeth. Occasionally they are implemented to close small gaps.</li>
<li><b>Dental Implants:</b> Implants are necessary to replace missing or severely damaged teeth. Implants consist of titanium steel posts that the dentist embeds into the gum line via a surgical procedure. These posts fuse to the jawbone and provide unwavering support for the cap, designed to look and feel like a natural tooth.</li>
<li><b>Dentures:</b> Full and partial dentures help improve the aesthetics and functionality of a person who is missing several teeth. Implant-supported dentures provide additional stability. They are attached to the implants rather than resting on the gums.</li>
<li><b>Fixed Bridges:</b> This method involves using a natural tooth on either side of a gap to support a bridge of one or more artificial teeth. The placement of a bridge usually takes several dental visits. Bridges may last for 10 to 15 years.</li>
</ul>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Luckily, finding a local prosthodontist is now easier than ever. Online review sites, <a title="Read more about Healthgrades" href="https://www.healthgrades.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Prosthodontist">such as Healthgrades</a>, are a popular starting place for many potential patients when looking for a new prosthodontist. These allow individuals to compare and contrast potential providers. Patients can also turn to a practice's social media practice to determine if a doctor may be a good fit for them.</p>
<p>More traditional patients can also rely on word-of-mouth referrals from their friends, family members, or doctors. Regardless of whatever method an individual chooses, everyone should begin their search knowing what they are looking for: Do they want a prosthodontist that is nearby for optimal convenience? Are they looking for someone who treats all ages so that they can take the whole family? These questions can help guide one's search.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Why might a dentist refer patients to a prosthodontist?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">A dentist may refer clients to a specialist if the restoration needs are complex or atypical. General dentists may also give referrals if they do not perform particular procedures. Even without a referral, consulting a prosthodontist provides additional information.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What type of professional should individuals see for restorative dentistry?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Ideally, persons needing restorative dental procedures should work with a prosthodontist. Though several other types of dental professionals can offer restoration services, a prosthodontist provides the latest techniques. Many other dental professionals turn to prosthodontists for guidance and advice.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Does it matter if a prosthodontist is board certified?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Board certification is not necessary to practice prosthodontics. Moreover, prosthodontists without board certification are just as committed to excellence as those with it. However, when you work with board-certified prosthodontists, you have peace of mind that they are current with the newest practices, familiar with the most advanced technology, and provide state-of-the-art care.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Which restorative dentistry services are right for me?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">The answer depends on several unique factors. For some patients, the need for functionality dictates treatment. For others, the motivating factor is aesthetics. For many, it is both. The dentist and prosthodontist will work together to advise each person of available options and suitable treatment plans.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Can a prosthodontist fix broken dentures?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">In most cases, yes. However, some dentures are irreparable. This may be due to age, severe damage, or the location of the break.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How does a prosthodontist differ from a cosmetic dentist?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Prosthodontists undergo an additional three years of graduate school and training. Cosmetic dentists, on the other hand, attend weekend or maybe weeklong courses to advance their knowledge. Moreover, the ADA does not recognize cosmetic dentistry as a specialty. Prosthodontics is one of nine specialties it does recognize.</span></p>
