What is a Prosthodontist?

A Prosthodontist is a dentist who has received 3 years of advanced training after dental school, and specializes in the esthetic and functional restoration of damaged or missing teeth. Prosthodontists often treat the more challenging cases and help patients seeking optimal esthetic outcomes.

Prosthodontists can correct a wide variety of dental problems including restoration of missing teeth, gaps between teeth, chipped, cracked, worn or discolored teeth, and unsightly or failing dental work. Prosthodontists work with other specialists and world-class laboratory technicians to produce the finest quality, natural looking and long lasting restorations.

A Prosthodontist is the most qualified dental professional to help you achieve your best smile.

Comprehensive Dental Care

All phases of quality restorative and esthetic treatment for your perfect smile

Esthetic Crowns and Bridges

Esthetic Crowns & Bridges

Dental crowns and bridges offer support to broken, cracked, weakened, root canal treated or missing teeth. My goal is to create restorations that look and feel like your natural teeth through careful color matching and contouring.

Dental Implants

Restoration of Implants

Dental implants can replace one or more missing or failing teeth to improve esthetics and create a secure restoration with a natural appearance and function. They provide support for single crowns or bridges, and can add retention to dentures.

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain Veneers

Porcelain veneers are thin shells of ceramic that bond to the front surfaces of the teeth. They create whiter, more ideally shaped teeth for a beautiful smile.

Resin Bonded Bridges

Resin Bonded Bridges

Resin Bonded Bridges, often known as Maryland Bridges, can be fabricated to replace a single missing front tooth when the adjacent tooth is healthy. They are made of ceramic that bonds to the adjacent tooth for a secure fit and natural appearance.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

For patients with complex dental needs including multiple missing teeth, collapsed bite, occlusal wear, decay, and compromised esthetics, I comprehensively, meticulously and compassionately restore these patients' dental health, function and esthetics.

Teeth Whitening

Teeth Whitening

Dental Bleaching is a safe, simple and effective way to brighten a smile. Impressions of the teeth are taken and custom trays are fabricated to hold the bleaching gel to lighten the color of yellowing or aging teeth.

Onlays and Inlays

Onlays & Inlays

Onlays and inlays are made of ceramic material or gold, and are used to restore back teeth when a part of the tooth is missing or decayed. They may extend over part or all of the biting surface to provide support, improve function and esthetics.

Dentures

Dentures & Overdentures

Custom Dentures provide function and esthetics when patients are missing all their upper teeth, lower teeth, or both. Implants can be added to create "Overdentures" which provide secure retention for improved chewing and function.

Provisional Crowns

Provisional Crowns

Provisionals or temporary crowns protect teeth during the period after teeth are shaped for crowns. They help develop soft tissue contours, provide a healthy periodontal environment and serve as a blueprint to test and refine esthetics and function.

Esthetic Bonding

Esthetic Bonding

Cosmetic bonding can be used to close spaces between teeth, restore chipped, discolored or misarranged teeth and fill cavities. The plastic resin is "bonded" to the tooth and then sculpted and polished for a beautiful and natural appearance.

Gingival Moulage

Gingival Moulage

Gingival Moulage is a removable thermoplastic material that snaps in to simulate missing gums in patients who have lost the soft tissue between their healthy teeth.
