Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge

It is a branch of dentistry pertaining to the replacement of missing teeth and craniofacial tissues with artificial substitutes. The prosthodontist is often viewed as the “architect” of a restorative dental treatment plan. Extensive training and experience provide prosthodontists with a special understanding of the dynamics of a smile, the preservation of a healthy mouth and the creation of tooth replacements. Prosthodontists provide an extremely high level of care to patients with missing teeth, congenital or acquired maxillofacial defects with a view to restore optimum function and aesthetics.
