Here’s a tip that might make your search a little easier. If you’re missing one or more teeth, desire beautiful cosmetic dental care or feel you have a challenging dental situation, you’ll get the highest level of expertise from a prosthodontist.

What is a prosthodontist?

A prosthodontist is a dentist who specializes in restoring and replacing missing teeth. Following dental school, a prosthodontist pursues an additional three years of graduate study in a specialty program accredited by the American Dental Association. This specialty training focuses on restoring a damaged smile to its full function, comfort and attractiveness.

Why should I visit a prosthodontist?

If you have lost one or more teeth due to trauma, illness, or aging, you may also have lost some self-esteem. A prosthodontist can restore your smile – and your confidence. If you regularly skip social functions because of your imperfect smile, a prosthodontist can help you find the joy you’ve been missing when it comes to chatting with friends and colleagues, enjoying dinner at a restaurant or engaging in a good, hearty laugh.

Even if you have a mouth full of natural teeth, a prosthodontist who offers routine hygiene appointments and regular check-ups is an excellent choice for your dental care. They assure that your dental health is optimal, and if any type of dental care is needed, they will provide you with high quality, comfortable, good looking and long lasting care dental care.

Is a prosthodontist right for you?

Here’s a quick quiz to see if a prosthodontist is right for you. Do you:

• need an implant and crown to replace a missing tooth?
• need a bridge or denture to replace multiple missing teeth?
• want the highest level of expertise for your cosmetic dental needs?
• want your routine dental needs handled by a highly trained dentist?

If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, please contact Lawrenceville Smiles for a consultation. Whether you are looking for an expert in full mouth restoration or the highest quality routine care, we can help.
