The Schmitt Prosthodontics Difference

• Our Approach: Our practice takes a patient-focused approach, prioritizing you at every step of your care. Many patients are hesitant about seeking dental treatment due to bad experiences with other dentists. Our practice aims to change that. We strive to ensure every patient is comfortable and confident in their decision to undergo restorative or cosmetic dental care.
• Our Offices: Just like our staff, our Altamonte Springs and Mount Dora offices prioritize patient comfort. Our warm, calming decor gives patients a sense of relaxation as soon as they walk in. We also offer noise-canceling headphones during treatment to promote a sense of peace and serenity even while undergoing complex dentistry.
• Our Prosthodontist: Dr. Schmitt has been voted a Top Prosthodontist by Orlando Magazine since the awards began in 2004. He has earned a reputation for being compassionate, professional, ethical, detail-oriented, friendly, and patient. He takes the time to get to know every patient and their dental concerns to provide the best dental treatments.

Prosthodontist vs. Dentist

When seeking dental care, it can be hard to know where to turn for help with your unique needs. While many of the services provided by dentists and prosthodontists overlap, there are some key differences between the two.

• Defining the Two: A dentist cares for the general health of your teeth and gums. While some dentists can provide restorative care, a prosthodontist is a dentist who has gone through an additional three years of education and one-on-one mentorship in advanced clinical and lab procedures that are typically not covered in dental training.
• Why Choose a Prosthodontist? Missing and severely damaged teeth can impact your oral and overall health. Unlike a dentist, a prosthodontist specializes in the restoration of your smile. Just like you would see a cardiologist for a heart problem, it's best to see a prosthodontist for restorations like crowns, dentures, bridges, and veneers.

The services a prosthodontist like Dr. Schmitt offers are some of the most advanced treatments in dentistry. Contact our practice to learn more about our specialized dental care.
