What a prosthodontist does
Prosthodontics is the dental speciality concerned with restoring and replacing teeth: crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, veneers and the rebuilding of a whole mouth. It is a three-year postgraduate degree after the BDS. When a prosthodontist plans your treatment, the fit, the bite and the appearance are designed together.
