When it comes to dental treatments, you really want to make sure that you are getting the best possible care you can afford. There are many great dentists and prosthodontists out there who can give you the healthy, attractive smile you want, but as prosthodontists, we often get asked what the difference is between a general dentist and a prosthodontist.
General Dentist and Prosthodontist Training
It all starts with education and training. Both dentists and prosthodontists complete four years of general dentistry education. But we prosthodontists invest another three years of learning under an ADA-accredited program of one-on-one mentorship in advanced clinical and laboratory procedures. So basically a general dentist can handle routine dental care like root canals, fillings and crowns, cosmetic procedures, oral exams and other general dental needs.
Because of our additional training, we prosthodontists are the most highly trained specialist in the dental field. We have learned how to take care of a wide range of complex oral health treatments capable of handling more specialized treatments. In fact, we often handle the most complex and challenging dental cases, like jaw surgery, denture placement, dental bridges, implant surgery and full mouth rehabilitation.
Our prosthodontists are truly specialists at fixing and replacing teeth, providing you with customized dental care tailored to your unique needs, and we do it with an eye on the optimal function and aesthetics of your dental prostheses. Our goal is to make sure your smile’s full function and aesthetic appearance are achieved.
