Prosthodontist

As our patient, you may have heard the term Prosthodontist used to describe our team here at Metropolitan Prosthodontics. In our blog today, we'll educate you on what Prosthodontics is and how it differs from general dentistry.

What is Prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on the restoration and replacement of teeth, gums, and jawbone structures. Prosthodontists are uniquely qualified to diagnose and treat complex dental and facial problems that involve gaps or missing teeth. Our team aims to restore the function, appearance, and comfort of your teeth through our specialized education and training.

How Does a Prosthodontist Differ from a General Dentist?

General dentists are similar to family doctors who provide a range of basic dental services. A prosthodontist, on the other hand, specializes in complex treatments that require advanced restorative dentistry knowledge and skill.

Prosthodontists receive 3-4 years of additional education and clinical training beyond dental school. With this training, we are equipped to assess your dental needs and provide you with the best treatment options for your specific situation. You can trust that our team will provide you with comprehensive care and that we will refer you to other dental specialists when necessary.

Services Offered by Your Plymouth Prosthodontist

At Metropolitan Prosthodontics, we provide a range of specialized dentistry services, including:

  • Crowns and Bridges: Crowns and bridges are restorative treatments used to replace missing or damaged teeth. We use the latest technologies and materials to create a perfect fit and ensure your comfort.
  • Dentures: Dentures are removable prosthetics used to replace an entire arch of teeth. We personalize each set to ensure an optimal fit and give you a natural-looking smile.
  • Fixed Dentures: Fixed dentures, also known as implant-supported dentures, are an innovative solution for replacing multiple missing teeth. These custom-crafted dentures are securely fixed to dental implants, providing stability and functionality that surpasses traditional removable dentures.
  • Obturator Prosthesis: An obturator prosthesis is a custom-crafted device designed to restore oral functions and improve quality of life for individuals who have undergone surgical removal of part of the palate or have congenital defects. This prosthesis aids in speech, swallowing, and mastication, facilitating normal oral functions. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Sasik, is dedicated to creating obturator prostheses that fit seamlessly, ensuring comfort and functionality for our valued patients.
  • Dental Implants: Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into your jawbone to support a single crown, bridge, or denture. Our team of prosthodontists is skilled in determining the dental implant treatments that will give you the best-looking and longest-lasting results.
  • Cosmetic Dentistry: As prosthodontists, we are uniquely trained to deliver cosmetic dental treatments. Our services include teeth whitening, veneers, and other cosmetic services that will revitalize your smile.
