PROSTHODONTICS
Prosthodontics is a specialised field of dentistry recognised by the General Dental Council. It focuses on the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of oral health for patients with missing or deficient teeth, as well as those with issues affecting the oral and maxillofacial tissues.
WHAT IS PROSTHODONTICS?
A prosthodontist specialises in treating and handling dental and facial problems that involve restoring missing tooth and jaw structures. Prosthodontists are experts in restoring oral function, improving comfort, and enhancing the appearance of patients' smiles through procedures such as dental implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, and full mouth reconstructions. Prosthodontists are considered the leaders of the dental treatment plan. They regularly lead teams of general dentists, specialists, and other health professionals to develop solutions for your dental needs.
By addressing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of oral health, prosthodontics plays a crucial role in helping patients regain confidence in their smile while ensuring long-term oral health and comfort.
