Plano Top Dental’s Prosthodontics
Restoring Oral Health and Smile
Prosthodontics is a subspecialty of dentistry that uses dental prostheses to restore and rehabilitate oral functions and appearance. To handle severe dental difficulties, this specialty extends beyond ordinary dentistry and requires further training and skill. Our staff of highly qualified prosthodontics specialists at Plano Top Dental is committed to providing top-notch care, using the newest methods and tools to repair your smile and enhance your dental health.
What is Prosthodontic Dentistry?
Prosthodontic Dentistry, as recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA), is a specialty area that focuses on designing, fabricating, and arranging dental prosthetics to restore damaged oral tissues and replace lost teeth. The goal is to restore both the natural look of your smile and the functionality of your teeth.
Prosthodontic Services Include:
Dentures: Partial and complete dentures replace several lost teeth to help patients regain their ability to chew and speak normally.- Crowns and bridges: While bridges replace one or more missing teeth by affixing them to nearby natural teeth, crowns cover damaged teeth to restore their strength, form, and look.
- Oral splints and night guards: These devices protect teeth and reduce pain in the event of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) abnormalities and teeth grinding (bruxism).
- Veneers : are thin, custom-made shells that cover teeth’ front surfaces. They correct misaligned, stained, or damaged teeth.
- Dental Implants: Implants are a long-term treatment for missing teeth. They are made of titanium posts surgically inserted into the jawbone and covered in crowns that mimic natural teeth in appearance and functionality.
What Is the Work of a Prosthodontist?
Prosthodontics specialists are experts in tooth restoration and replacement. They concentrate on procedures that enhance function and appearance and manage complicated dental cases, such as full-mouth reconstructions. Cosmetic dentistry involves using crowns, veneers, and teeth whitening to improve the appearance of teeth.

When Should You See a Prosthodontist?
A prosthodontics specialist’s skill is necessary for some dental diseases, especially when conventional treatments are insufficient. Under the following circumstances, you need to visit a prosthodontist at Plano Top Dental:
-
Complete Mouth Reconstruction:
If you have significant dental damage from wear and tear, decay, or trauma, you might require a full mouth reconstruction. With this all-inclusive method, all teeth are rebuilt and replaced to restore function and appearance. Crowns, veneers, and implants are frequently used in conjunction.
-
Bone Grafts:
Dental implants provide a permanent solution for people missing one or more teeth. A titanium post is surgically inserted into the mandible, and a crown resembling a natural tooth is attached.
-
Veneers:
For individuals who want to improve the appearance of their smile, veneers are the best option. The purpose of these thin, custom-made shells is to cover imperfections like chipping, discoloration, and gaps in the teeth.
-
Makeover:
A smile makeover is a set of cosmetic operations designed to enhance your smile's overall appearance. This can involve orthodontic procedures, veneers, crowns, and teeth whitening.
-
Therapy for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders:
Prosthodontists are qualified to identify and manage conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, which can result in symptoms like headaches, jaw pain, and trouble chewing. In certain prosthodontic service situations, oral appliances, medicine, and surgical intervention are available as treatment options.
