What is a Prosthodontist?

A prosthodontist is a dentist who is a specialized expert in the restoration and replacement of lost or damaged teeth. These “architects of the smile” make new smiles look beautiful and natural as well as function the way they should. A prosthodontist doesn’t just look at teeth, but also the gums, lips and other facial features that contribute to your smile and overall appearance.
