A prosthodontist is a dentist who has spent additional years studying advanced techniques and strategies in restorative dentistry. Very much like a skilled architect plans the way a building or home will be constructed to ensure a cosmetic and long lasting result, a prosthodontist creates a sophisticated plan for your mouth. In addition to knowing the precise restorative measures for your dental needs, a prosthodontist can create a step by step plan to integrate the treatment from other specialists that you may require. A prosthodontist specializes in esthetic, well designed restorations and replacement of teeth. A prosthodontist is dedicated to the highest level of dental care.
 Prosthodontics is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. Graduate programs in prosthodontics include classroom lectures and seminars, laboratory and clinical training in esthetics, crown and bridgework, porcelain laminate veneers, complete and partial dentures, dental implants, TMD-jaw joint problems, traumatic injuries to the mouth and associated structures, congenital or birth abnormalities, snoring and sleep disorders and continued care. The restorative efforts help provide proper facial support and the enhancement and stability of the patient’s smile.
At The Gelb Center, we offer the latest in prosthodontics, giving you the best possible option for your dental health and well being. Here we take pride in ensuring careful attention to your bite and jaw position. Very often when the teeth or jaw are out of position, patients present with all types of head, neck, and postural issues. The teeth can be fabricated so that the jaws meet in harmony with the head and neck muscles of the temporomandibular joint.
Our prosthodontic services include, but are not limited to:
- Surgical Placement and Restoration of Dental Implants
- Dentures & Partial Dentures
- Crown & Bridgework
- Mini Implant Dentures
