If your dentist has referred you to a prosthodontist, it is likely because your dental needs requires specialist care. Prosthodontists like Dr Bevan Chong at Artisan Prosthodontics are uniquely trained to handle complex restorative cases, and seeing one at the right time can make a significant difference to your long term oral health.
What a Prosthodontist Can Help With
You might need to see a prosthodontist if you are experiencing or considering any of the following:
- Missing teeth — Whether a single tooth or multiple teeth, a prosthodontist can recommend and place the best solution for your situation, such as implants, bridges or dentures.
- Damaged or worn teeth — Extensive decay, cracking or wear can require restorations that go beyond a standard filling, such as crowns, veneers or onlays.
- Full mouth rehabilitation — If multiple teeth need attention at once, a prosthodontist plans and coordinates the entire treatment process.
- Ill-fitting dentures — If your current dentures are uncomfortable or loose, a prosthodontist can create a better fitting, more natural looking solution.
- Dental implants — Prosthodontists are specialists in implant planning and restoration, ensuring the result looks and functions like a natural tooth.
- Cosmetic concerns — When aesthetics and function both need addressing, a prosthodontist brings a facially driven approach to treatment planning.
