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.

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.
