Prosthodontists are expert specialists in comprehensive dental care and undergo three years of advanced dental training. This training focuses on comprehensive treatment planning for a range of dental problems, from simple to complex, including the management and treatment of patients requiring restoration and replacement of lost teeth and gums.
The term “Prostho” means replacement, and “dentist” refers to one who deals with teeth. Prosthodontists are the experts when anything in your mouth needs to be replaced. These replacements can range from a single tooth to multiple teeth, or even all teeth and gums.
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of oral function. Comfort, appearance, and the overall health of patients are the primary concerns of this specialty in achieving the desired results. Cases involving missing or deficient teeth, as well as oral and maxillofacial tissues, can be effectively managed by a knowledgeable specialist.
Prosthodontists receive extensive training in state-of-the-art techniques and procedures for treating complex dental conditions and restoring optimal function and aesthetics. They are often referred to as “mouth architects.”
To be recognized as a board-certified Prosthodontist, one must fulfill the Royal College of Dentists of Canada’s requirements, which include passing several assessments and exams. Upon completion, practitioners earn the FRCD credential.
Complex cases often require a coordinated, holistic approach involving the expertise of multiple dental or medical specialists. The role of the Prosthodontist in such cases is twofold: providing professional care to the patient and coordinating the dental team involved in the patient’s treatment plan. Prosthodontists are considered leaders in developing comprehensive dental treatment plans. Below are some of the most common dental treatments Prosthodontists provide to their patients.
