What does a prosthodontist do?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who restores the function, aesthetics, and harmony of your smile when teeth are missing, worn down, or previous treatments have failed. Their role goes beyond placing crowns or dentures—they assess the entire oral system, including your bite, gums, muscles, and jaw joints, to design personalized treatments that help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
In modern dentistry, prosthodontics plays a key role in achieving long-lasting, natural-looking results—especially for patients with complex needs. This specialty integrates techniques such as veneers, dental implants, fixed or removable prostheses, and biomimetic adhesive restorations. It also acts as a bridge between different disciplines to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated treatment plan.
