Prosthodontists vs. General Dentists:WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
The American Dental Association recognizes prosthodontics as an official specialty for dentists. While most dentists can provide basic preventative and general dental care, prosthodontists receive three years of additional education and are specially trained in solutions including dental crowns, dental bridges, veneers, inlays and onlays, dentures, and dental implant placement. Prosthodontists combine their training in cosmetics with a broader understanding of restorative dentistry to deliver highly aesthetic restorations that are customized to your individual smile. By visiting a board-certified prosthodontist, you are getting the best possible care for broken, damaged, or missing teeth.
