The advantage of seeing a prosthodontist lies in the manner in which they are trained. While a general dentist has a basic level of training in all aspects of dentistry, a prosthodontist’s advanced training after dental school focuses on how to comprehensively diagnose oral health problems and create treatment plans that repair or replace missing teeth to their aesthetic and functional ideal. Prosthodontists use their training in dental implant surgical placement, implant prosthetics, dentures, and implant crowns to execute these treatment plans. A prosthodontist is often thought of as the “quarterback” of the treatment plan, working collaboratively with general dentists and other specialists to provide patient-specific solutions to dental and oral health problems.
