Since people are living longer and retaining more of their natural teeth, prosthodontists are playing a key role in helping patients maintain a healthy, attractive appearance. They combine the hands of a dentist with the eyes of an artist to create natural-looking restorations.
Prosthodontics (Prostho - relating to prosthetic devices to replace or repair teeth and/or oral tissues dontist - dentist), is a field of dentistry that deals with rebuilding natural teeth and restoring missing teeth with prosthetic replacements. This may involve a routine procedure such as making a crown for a damaged tooth or could involve more complex procedures, such as full mouth reconstruction of damaged or mutilated dentitions. In the majority of cases, the job of the prosthodontist lies somewhere between these two clinical situations.
A prosthodontist has undergone several years of clinical and academic training and examinations in order to specialise in this field. He or she has got more training in various fields of dentistry including implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, veneers and composite restorations.
