What Is Prosthodontics?

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.

Don't let damaged or missing teeth affect your quality of life. Discover how our prosthodontic expertise can transform your smile and restore your confidence.

Our Prosthodontic Services

Dental Implants

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.

Crowns & Bridges

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.
