Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What’s the difference between a dentist and a prosthodontist?

A general dentist provides primary, routine dental care such as cleanings, fillings, and basic crowns. Prosthodontists are dental specialists with advanced training in restoring and replacing teeth — complex crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, dental implants, and full-mouth rehabilitation for teeth that are worn, broken, missing, or failing.
