Regain your confident smile and enjoy eating your favorite foods again. Experience the life-changing comfort and natural beauty of expert prosthodontic care in the heart of Manhattan.
Prosthodontics is a specialized branch of dental medicine focused on the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth and oral structures. This advanced dental specialty encompasses a comprehensive range of treatments designed to rehabilitate oral function, comfort, appearance, and health. Prosthodontic treatments require extensive training beyond general dentistry, with practitioners completing an additional three years of specialized education in an American Dental Association (ADA) accredited graduate program.
Think of prosthodontics as the architectural field of dentistry – it involves creating comprehensive treatment plans that address both aesthetic concerns and functional issues. While general dentistry can address basic restorative needs, prosthodontics handles the most complex cases requiring extensive reconstruction or those involving multiple specialty areas. This field excels in implant dentistry, crowns, bridges, dentures, and treatments for temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ).
At SmileWorks NYC, our prosthodontic expertise allows us to address even the most challenging dental situations with precision, creating beautiful smiles that complement your facial features and restore proper function.
Our Manhattan prosthodontic team specializes in the planning, placement, and restoration of dental implants – from single tooth replacements to full-arch restorations. We utilize 3D imaging and digital planning to precisely position each implant for optimal aesthetics and function. The titanium implant post integrates with your jawbone, providing stability while preventing bone loss that typically occurs after tooth extraction. Our implant restorations are custom-designed to match your natural teeth in color, shape, and size, creating a seamless smile that can last a lifetime with proper care.
When chipped teeth or other damage occurs but teeth are not lost, our prosthodontic expertise shines through our precision crown work. Using advanced digital scanning and custom shade-matching, we create dental crowns that protect weakened teeth while perfectly blending with your natural smile. For missing teeth, our dental bridges provide a non-surgical alternative to implants, supported by adjacent teeth to fill gaps in your smile. We use the highest quality porcelain and zirconia materials to ensure your restorations are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
At SmileWorks NYC, our prosthodontic care is led by Dr. Jin Sup Shin.
Dr. Shin combines technical precision with an artistic eye, ensuring that each prosthodontic restoration not only functions perfectly but also enhances the patient’s overall appearance.
As a clinical assistant professor at New York University College of Dentistry, Dr. Shin remains at the forefront of prosthodontic innovations, bringing the latest techniques and materials to our Manhattan practice.
Her approach to prosthodontic care begins with thorough diagnostics using 3D imaging and digital scanning, followed by detailed treatment planning that addresses both immediate concerns and long-term dental health.
Our entire staff works cohesively to provide comprehensive care, from initial consultation through treatment and long-term maintenance. Each team member is specially trained in the unique needs of prosthodontic patients, understanding the emotional and functional impact of tooth loss or damage. This empathetic approach, combined with technical expertise, creates an exceptional prosthodontic experience for Manhattan patients seeking specialized dental care.

While visiting NYC, an emergency arose where a rubber band fell off and a bracket broke, so my daughter urgently sought help from this orthodontic clinic. Despite not having an appointment and being a walk-in, the staff at the counter greeted us warmly and kindly. We are especially grateful to the doctor for being so friendly and accommodating, even though we were not her regular patients. The doctor’s understanding and reassurance were incredibly comforting to both my child and me during a stressful situation. Thank you very much for the excellent treatment and care.Claire Park2024-07-19
