Louis - Actual Patient

You may not be aware of the term prosthodontics, but you are probably familiar with some of the needs served by this area of dentistry. Prosthodontics restores beauty, health, comfort, and function by replacing missing teeth and restoring any damage they may have.

Why Should I Choose a Prosthodontist?

Many dentists offer dentures, bridges, and porcelain veneers, and can refer you to a specialist for dental implants. A prosthodontist, such as New Jersey Prosthodontist Dr. Green, has special training to perform these procedures, and can address complex problems requiring whole mouth restoration and the correction of facial deformities.

Prosthodontists require special training in areas such as:

• Cosmetics
• Dental implants
• Dentures
• Crowns
• Veneers
• Oral cancer reconstruction
• Congenital defects
• Neuromuscular dentistry
• Trauma to the structures of the mouth

Prosthodontics can rehabilitate your entire mouth, restoring the beauty of your smile as well as function and comfort, for long-lasting dental and overall health.

Missing teeth

Replacing missing teeth is one of the primary purposes of prosthodontics. Missing teeth can be the result of:

• Injury
• Disease
• Grinding
• Decay
• Genetics

Missing teeth can cause dental and overall health problems such as:

• Shifting teeth
• Changes in your appearance
• Difficulty chewing
• Difficulty speaking

Depending on the extent and nature of the damage, Dr. Green has many options for replacing your missing teeth including:

• Dentures
• Removable Partials
• Cemented Bridges
• Implants

While many dentists offer these solutions, most do not have the training to provide optimal, long term results, or to handle complex cases. As a prosthodontist, Dr. Green offers whole mouth solutions, one can replace just on or two missing teeth, depending on your individual needs and desires. Your teeth will work together properly and comfortably, preventing future damage and restoring your beautiful smile.
