Prosthodontics is responsible for the replacement of missing teeth using a prosthesis. It could be an artificial part, such as a crown, bridge or denture. It is a field of dentistry with a focus on creating a restoration that restores the appearance and function of missing teeth.
A prosthodontist is a specialist who replaces teeth to restore oral health and restore a natural, attractive appearance. Tooth reconstruction is also part of prosthodontics. A prosthodontist can help you find the right solution for you for missing teeth. If it’s a denture, then a prosthodontist will work to create a denture that looks natural and is a good fit.
Prosthodontists also work with patients who have TMJ Disorder or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, a painful condition that happens when the joint nerves of the jaw become inflamed. If you experience the condition, you might be recommended a bite guard, physical therapy or medication to help with the pain.
