A Prosthodontist is a dental specialist who restores and replaces natural teeth, with an emphasis on aesthetics.

A Prosthodontist is differentiated from a regular dentist by an additional two to three years of training. Their duties include the creation, restoration, and replacement of human teeth with a variety of different procedures and applications.

After completing four years of dental school, Prosthodontists receive three years of specialized training in an American Dental Association (ADA) accredited graduate education program. Prosthodontics is recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). A Prosthodontist can aid in the rehabilitation of a complete dentition or merely in the replacement of one or two teeth.”
