Today, more and more people are
becoming aware of what cosmetic dentistry has to offer in their everyday lives.
With this awareness, there appears to be an increase in the demand for general
dentists to offer cosmetic dentistry in a fast and effective manner. More than
ever before, dentists are challenged to create a beautiful smile utilizing
various modalities of restorative
dentistry. But is the general
dentist the right person to be trusted with your precious smile? The majority of general dentist are trained
to maintain your oral health care. But
when it comes to the cosmetic aspects joined with the functional aspects of
your smile, you might want to see a specialist, i.e. a prosthodontist.
Prosthodontists are
specially trained to blend modern aesthetic techniques with the other important
aspect of your teeth, i.e. eating. There
is a lot more than meets the eye then just altering the way a smile looks. It also has to function and the training to
make that happen properly is what is taught in the two - three year post-dental
doctorate speciality of prosthodontics.
Prosthodontics:
(crown, bridge, and implants) A Prosthodontist has a specialty license
pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and maintenance
of the oral function, comfort, appearance and health of patients with clinical
conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and
maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes. Most dentists are not trained
prosthodontic graduates of a dental school - rather they take short continuing
education and utilize trial and error experience to be able to understand how
size, shape, color and symmetry all work together to create what a
prosthodontists is trained in their post graduate work. On the other hand, the prosthodontist is
trained at a university to create the smile that implements the use of veneers,
crowns, bridges and the increasingly more common procedure of dental implants
to ensure that the right smile
is achieved, both functionally and aesthetically beautiful. If anyone has a specialty in cosmetic
dentistry, it would be the prosthodontist.
So when you are seriously looking for a cosmetic dentist, look for a
prosthodontist.
Of the 170 thousand dentists in
the United States, only 3200 are prosthodontists. Of those, Forbes magazine
reports only 560 are practicing. The Prosthodontist
is the second rarest job in the United States and the rarest of specialities
within dentistry.
