What is a Prosthodontist?

A prosthodontist is a dentist with additional years of training in a dental specialty recognized by the American Dental Association. This specialty focuses primarily on restoring and replacing teeth, making prosthodontists highly skilled in treatments involving dental implants, crowns and bridges, and dentures. After completing dental school, a prosthodontist receives three more years of specialized training, which includes studying under the guidance of experienced mentors in programs accredited by the American Board of Prosthodontics.

Prosthodontists are uniquely qualified to improve the aesthetics and functionality of your teeth. Their training covers a variety of complex dental conditions, preparing them to offer solutions that not only support your oral health but also enhance the natural beauty of your smile. As specially-trained dental specialists, prosthodontists work closely with general dentists to develop comprehensive care plans that address simple and intricate dental issues. Whether you need a single crown or a full mouth reconstruction, your Westchester prosthodontist combines the science of dental care with the art of cosmetic enhancement to achieve durable and visually appealing results.

Prosthodontic Procedures Offered by Chappaqua Dentistry

With advanced training in the latest techniques and technologies in dental restoration, our team is expertly equipped to handle even the most complex dental conditions. Here’s a detailed look at the prosthodontic procedures we offer to enhance your oral health and aesthetics:

  • Dental Implants: Ideal for replacing missing teeth, dental implants provide a durable, long-term solution that mimics the strength and appearance of natural teeth. Whether you need a single implant or multiple, our implants ensure a restoration that blends seamlessly with your existing dental structure.
  • All-On-4 Dental Implants & Implant Supported Dentures: A revolutionary approach for those who require full arch restoration, All-On-4 implants offer a permanent, secure foundation for dentures. This method enhances stability and promotes jawbone health, preventing the bone loss typically associated with missing teeth.
  • Teeth-in-a-Day: Thanks to advancements in dental technology, we can now provide implants and temporary, fully functional teeth on the same day. This procedure is perfect for patients looking for immediate results, reducing the number of visits and overall treatment time.
  • Dentures: We offer traditional and more modern solutions like implant-supported dentures, which provide greater stability and comfort than conventional ones. Our dentures are custom-designed to fit your mouth, restoring your smile’s natural function and aesthetics.
  • Full Mouth Restoration: For patients with extensive dental issues, including severe decay, injury, or wear, full mouth restoration can completely transform the appearance and functionality of your teeth. Our team collaborates to develop a personalized treatment plan that may combine various procedures such as veneers, crowns, bridges, and implants to achieve a comprehensive restoration.

Each of these procedures is performed with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every aspect of the treatment is tailored to meet your specific needs and expectations.

FAQ

The process involves several steps: initial consultation to assess your needs, designing the prosthesis or restoration, preparing your mouth for the procedure (which may include impressions or digital scans), creating and fitting the custom dental prosthesis (such as crowns, bridges, dentures, or implants), and finally, adjustments to ensure a perfect fit and optimal functionality.

While generally safe, there can be risks such as infection, discomfort, or the need for adjustments. Proper planning and care by a skilled prosthodontist minimize these risks. It’s also crucial for patients to follow all aftercare instructions to ensure the best outcomes.

The lifespan of prosthodontic restorations varies; crowns and bridges can last 5-15 years or more, while dentures and implants may need adjustments or replacements due to normal wear and changes in your mouth’s structure. Regular dental check-ups and proper hygiene are crucial for maintaining the longevity and functionality of these restorations.
