1 prosthodontist in Mission Viejo

What a prosthodontist does

A prosthodontist restores damaged teeth and replaces missing ones. They plan complex cases where many teeth, the bite and appearance all have to work together.

Treatments

  • Crowns and bridges
  • Full and partial dentures
  • Crowns, bridges and dentures fixed to implants
  • Veneers
  • Full-mouth reconstruction

Training and credentials

After dental school, a prosthodontist completes an accredited residency in prosthodontics, usually three years. Prosthodontists listed here declared the specialty in the federal provider registry and hold a current California dental license.

When to see a prosthodontist instead of a general dentist

General dentists place most single crowns and simple bridges. See a prosthodontist when several teeth need rebuilding, dentures do not fit, or implants will carry a full set of teeth.
