Prosthodontics

If you’re exploring your restorative options, prosthodontics might be the right treatment for you.

• Missing Teeth
• Collapsed Facial Structure
• Jawbone Deterioration
• Advanced Periodontal Disease
• Cracked or Broken Teeth
• Loose Teeth
• Poorly-Fitting Dentures
• Difficulty Biting, Chewing, and Eating

Prosthodontics will not only restore the appearance of your oral structures, but it’s also capable of restoring the function of your mouth. This restoration type allows for more natural eating, drinking, and speaking.

While replacing teeth and restoring the appearance and function of your smile with prosthodontics is complex, our twenty years experience has allowed us to streamline the process, making it an easy and smooth process for you.

Placement and Preparation Appointment – If you are having implants to replace your missing teeth, they would be placed at this appointment. On the same day, the doctor would rebuild any natural teeth that need to be restored, and create custom temporary teeth, so when you leave you have a new smile! You will wear the temporary while the implants heal, trying out your new smile and bite for the next few months.  When you return to our office, an impression is made of the implants and the remaining natural teeth.
