Prosthodontics FAQ
What is the difference between a dentist and a prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a dentist who has had specialised training relating to the restoration, treatment and replacement of damaged or missing teeth. A prosthodontist has the qualifications to give you specialist advice about how to replace missing teeth and the experience to ensure superior results.
What is the best prosthodontic solution for me?
Every patient is unique and the answer to this question will depend upon several factors. It will depend upon the nature of your tooth loss, it will depend upon the health of your other teeth, gums and jawbone. Other factors that we will need to discuss include your budget and lifestyle. We recommend that you book a consultation with our expert prosthodontist so that they can examine your mouth, teeth and gums as well as talk through the benefits to the different solutions.
Why is it important to replace missing teeth?
Whether you replace missing teeth or not is a personal decision. Some people choose not to replace missing teeth and are happy to live with gaps in their mouth. Missing teeth not only changes the way that you look, but it can affect your lifestyle and oral health too. You may find it more difficult to eat and even speak with missing teeth. Missing teeth can influence the health of the adjacent teeth as they can start to drift and cause problems with overcrowding and bite problems.
