His compassionate demeanor, experience, and skill create happy smiles and life-long patients.

Dentist vs. Prosthodontist

While the roles of a dentist and prosthodontist often overlap, there are some key differences that you should know about when seeking dental treatment.

The Roles Defined

A dentist is focused on maintaining your general oral health. Many dentists can provide restorative and cosmetic care in addition to general dentistry, but their main objective is to keep your smile healthy at any age.

A prosthodontist is a dentist who underwent an additional three years of training to learn advanced techniques in restoring damaged or missing teeth. A prosthodontist can do everything a general dentist can, plus more complex work to restore the function and health of a severely damaged smile.

Which One Do You Need?

If you have severely damaged teeth or are missing teeth, you should see a prosthodontist. Missing and damaged teeth can significantly impact your oral and overall health.

Much like you would see a cardiologist rather than a general practitioner for a heart issue, a prosthodontist has the specialized training to give you the best care for your unique needs. Our prosthodontist can help restore your smile, improve your oral health, prevent future oral and overall health issues from forming, and create beautiful results that can last a lifetime.
