Prosthetics

Overview

The field of prosthodontics is concerned with the repair, restoration, and replacement of lost or damaged teeth. Prosthodontists are dental specialists who have been trained to create proper tooth substitutes. This is to improve the oral function, general appearance, comfort, and dental health of people who are lost teeth. To understand the dynamics of the patient's smile, they mostly employ bridges, dentures, or crowns.

Furthermore, prosthodontists are in responsibility of post-oral cancer reconstruction, traumatic mouth injuries, jaw joint disorders, and sleeping or snoring disorders.
