You're here for a good reason. You want the facts. Great! We’re confident that we can guide, educate and assist you. Perhaps you’re missing one or more teeth, or you’re interested in dental implants. You might wear dentures or removable partial dentures. Or, you want to improve the appearance of your smile. Simply put, you need the skills and training of a prosthodontist.

Why see a prosthodontist?
  • You are concerned about the quality of your dental care.
  • You need a dentist who can restore optimal appearance and function to your smile.
  • You need a dentist with advanced training in esthetic restoration and replacement of teeth.

Additional training for prosthodontists is earned through a university or hospital-based advanced education program accredited by the American Dental Association. This specialty education provides knowledge and skills beyond the training of general dentists and includes advanced-level lectures, courses, clinical and laboratory experiences, patient care and scholarly research.

Prosthodontists are proficient in comprehensive oral health diagnosis, treatment planning and restoration. A prosthodontist is the skilled architect who can restore optimal function and appearance to your smile.

This is Julie's Story

The mystery of the dissolving roots

Julie ignored growing discoloration of her two front teeth until the day that her daughter’s orthodontist took a closer look. He immediately recognized a serious condition and wrote a referral to Julie to see a prosthodontist. Upon discovering that the discoloration was because Julie’s roots were dissolving, the prosthodontist replaced her damaged front teeth with implants and ceramic crowns. The results transcend science and art. Julie said her prosthodontist was “not only a clinician but an artist.”

Baseball injury never slows hard-charging attorney

Hank was racing for an arching fly ball and slammed, full speed, into an outfield wall, severely damaging his front teeth. The repair failed in adulthood, and Hank, a busy family man, attorney, coach, soccer and football dad, was concerned. Hank’s prosthodontist crafted a creative solution employing implants and a bridge – three new front teeth – that are gorgeous, durable and fit perfectly.
