What is Prosthodontics? 

Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry pertaining to the restoration and maintenance of oral function, comfort, appearance and health of patient by restoration of natural teeth and/or replacement of missing teeth.

Your dentist can provide crowns, bridges, dentures and implants. However, the complexity of certain clinical conditions needs to be managed by specialists. To become a Prosthodontist, one must complete years of supervised specialist postgraduate study and training at a university dental school, to achieve a high level of expertise. The multidisciplinary training a graduate undertakes ensures that they develop a significant knowledge of other dental specialties, so that they may integrate your treatment plan with other specialists to provide the best level of care possible.
