“the dental specialty pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of oral function, comfort, appearance, and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes.”
Prosthodontists are the recognized specialists when it comes to restoring or replacing deficient or missing teeth. Prosthodontist specializes in treating patient with complex dental history and conditions, which often requires a “team” of dental professionals. Prosthodontists serve as the “quarter back” of the dental team, which may include oral surgeons, periodontists, other dental specialists, general dentists, dental hygienists, and dental laboratory technicians. There are approximately 3,500 prosthodontists in the United States, which make up less than 2% of dentists in the country!
