What is prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is a dental field recognized by the American Dental Association. It focuses on diagnosing, treating, restoring, and replacing missing or compromised teeth, oral tissues, or maxillofacial tissues.

The goal of a prosthodontist is to design and fit oral prosthetics, like dentures or veneers, for looks, and more importantly, function, health, and comfort.

 

How are prosthodontists different from regular dentists?

To be called a prosthodontist, a dentist must complete (in addition to their regular dental program) a three-year prosthodontic graduate program accredited by the American Dental Association.
During this time, they’re specially trained to identify oral problems and replace oral structures using dental crowns and bridges, dental implants, and dentures, among other methods, such as:

  • Dental bonding
  • Enamel shaping
  • Fillings
  • Full-mouth reconstruction
  • Mouthguards
  • Maxillofacial prosthetics
  • Sealants
  • Splints
  • Veneers
  • Temporomandibular joint disorder treatment

Sharp Dentistry & Associates specializes in this type of dentistry, and the practice boasts numerous talented prosthodontists, including one maxillofacial prosthodontist.

 

Is prosthodontics right for me?

  • Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
  • Missing teeth
  • Loose or broken dentures
  • Jaw pain
  • Tooth pain or sensitivity

What will happen during a prosthodontics appointment?

When you go to see Dr. Sharp for prosthodontics, his team starts by asking about your concerns and your desired treatment outcomes. They’ll also answer any questions you have about your symptoms and oral hygiene habits.

After your initial consultation, the team examines your mouth, teeth, and jaws. Then, Dr. Sharp discusses with you what treatments he recommends to best heal your mouth.

A pain-free, beautiful new smile is possible. To get started on yours, schedule an appointment with the team at Sharp Dentistry & Associates over the phone or via the online booking tool right now.
