Prosthodontics

Prosthodontics is an area of dentistry that focuses on restoring and replacing teeth and other structures in the mouth damaged by disease, trauma, or age. The field includes aesthetic procedures such as veneers, crowns, bridges, tooth whitening, and dental implants. At Century Dental Associates, our prosthodontist will consult with you and perform a comprehensive exam to determine your best treatment. They will then work together to ensure you receive the best care possible to restore your smile. A prosthodontist is the only professional who is a dentist and a maxillofacial surgeon. Prosthodontists offer their specialized knowledge to their patients by diagnosing and managing oral symptoms of diseases, restoring proper function to the mouth, face, head, and neck, and maintaining optimum oral health through ongoing preventive maintenance.

WHY VISIT A PROSTHODONTIST?

You might visit a prosthodontist for a variety of reasons. It could be caused by a mouth injury, a congenital problem, or cosmetic reasons. Although many general dentists may provide these treatments, prosthodontists have received significant training in cutting-edge techniques and procedures for treating complex dental diseases.

Problems with Your Jaw, Sleep, or Snoring

If you wish to treat temporomandibular difficulties or disorders and address sleep or snoring issues, you should contact a prosthodontist. The muscles and joints around your jaw are included in the temporomandibular area of your body. Most people refer to problems in this area as TMJ. Many people have difficulties with this area, which become more noticeable when they yawn, chew, or sleep. A prosthodontist can assist you in resolving your issues by providing the appropriate therapy.

Treatments for Traumatic Injuries

Prosthodontists are experts in treating traumatic injuries to the mouth, teeth, and face.

Oral Cancer Reconstruction

Oral cancer can be treated surgically by removing any malignant development. To address cosmetic difficulties, a prosthodontist might undertake oral cancer reconstruction surgery.
