Prosthodontics
Restore Your Oral Health With Prosthodontic Dentistry
Prosthodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on oral and facial treatment using advanced appliances that replace missing teeth and other structures of the mouth or parts of the face. Prosthodontic dentistry helps restore the natural functionality of your mouth. Patients who have lost their teeth or whose teeth have become damaged can significantly benefit from the care of a prosthodontist, such as Dr Nalley in Augusta, GA. With over four decades of specialized dental expertise, Dr. Nalley can revitalize the condition of your oral health and possibly reverse congenital defects along with long-term effects caused by oral neglect and trauma.
What Is a Prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist extensively trained to be responsible for the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of patients with complex clinical conditions using materials, including dental implants, to replace missing or deficient teeth. After completing dental school, a prosthodontist typically undergoes three additional years of advanced training and education in a prosthodontic program accredited by the American Dental Association. Prosthodontics is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association.
The extensive training prosthodontists complete extends to several technical aspects of restorative dentistry, which includes the use of dental implants, crowns, bridges, permanent and removable dentures, and other complex restorative prosthetics. Prosthodontists are also trained to treat patients with jaw and joint issues, facial trauma care, sleep disorders, and those who suffer from congenital defects in the head and neck area.
