At Apple Tree Dental Studio, we are regularly asked questions about being a prosthodontist and why patients should visit one. There are specialties in dentistry just like there are in the medical field. Prosthodontics is one of those specialties and centers around replacing teeth. If you struggle with tooth loss, visiting a prosthodontist will likely produce better results than if you were to visit a general dentist, because you will be visiting someone with more educational and clinical experience. With that in mind, we encourage you to visit our dental office and discuss your teeth replacement solutions, even if you are currently under the care of a general family dentist. To schedule an appointment, call (623) 536-3377. In the meantime, here are the answers to a few frequently asked questions.
As an oral prosthetics doctor, we have additional experience both in education and in the number of hours we have spent performing procedures replacing teeth.
Dentures
Whether this decision is made for convenience or budgetary reasons, we can ensure your dentures will be created in a way that looks like a natural set of teeth and that the fit is snug and secure for maximum comfort.
Dental Bridge
In this procedure, we place dental crowns on the two teeth surrounding the missing one. This solution is semi-permanent, remains in place, and provides you with a stable chewing surface while restoring the appearance of your smile.
Dental Implants
The procedure we most recommend for replacing teeth is dental implants. This is because an implant is the only solution that replaces the visible portion of the tooth and the missing root.
