A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on restoring and replacing teeth to improve their function and aesthetics. While general dentists handle routine care, prosthodontists provide advanced solutions for complex dental issues. Choosing the best prosthodontist is an important decision. The office of Elias Prosthodontics has a well-earned reputation for exceptional skill, compassion, comfort and patient satisfaction.
Patients seek a prosthodontist’s expertise for these frequent purposes.
To Replace Missing Teeth
A gap in your upper or lower jaw affects your appearance, your chewing efficiency, your ability to speak clearly and your jaw health. A prosthodontist offers a range of solutions, including dental implants, bridges and dentures—all tailored to each patient’s needs. These treatments restore functionality and prevent issues such as bone loss and shifting teeth.
To Improve Worn or Damaged Teeth
Teeth can become eroded or damaged due to grinding, decay, trauma or aging. A prosthodontist provides restorative treatments such as crowns and veneers to repair marred teeth and restore their natural shape, size and strength.
For a Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
Some patients suffer from multiple oral health issues that require a comprehensive approach. Full-mouth rehabilitation involves restoring or replacing all teeth to enhance function, health and appearance.
To Correct Denture Fit
Ill-fitting dentures can be painful, embarrassing and a barrier to efficient chewing. A prosthodontist specializes in creating custom, high-quality dentures that match securely and comfortably. He (or she) also offers implant-supported dentures, which provide greater stability.
Treatment for TMJ Disorders
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) difficulties can bring on jaw pain, headaches and difficulty chewing. A prosthodontist diagnoses and treats TMJ issues with bite adjustments, occlusal splints or other therapies to alleviate discomfort and restore proper jaw function.
To Beautify Smiles
Whether it’s for a career boost or personal confidence, many patients turn to a prosthodontist for smile makeovers. Procedures such as teeth-whitening, crown-lengthening and installing veneers help create attractive, natural-looking smiles.
Cancer and Trauma Reconstruction
Patients recovering from oral cancer or facial trauma often require custom prostheses to restore patients’ appearance and oral function.
A prosthodontist provides advanced care for even the most challenging dental concerns. Elias Prosthodontics’s emphasis on modern techniques and technologies reassures you that your needs will be met with precision and care. Please call us today to make an appointment.
