Chances are that you don\u2019t; in fact, the College of Dentistry and Dental Clinics at the University of Iowa estimates that only 3% of the population even knows what \u201cprosthodontics\u201d are. When choosing a practice to take care of a dental problem, it\u2019s important to know what each can offer you and what advantages a specialist might have over a general practitioner in certain situations. Here\u2019s what you need to know about your prosthodontist in Vero Beach and how they\u2019re different from regular dentists.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>What is a Prosthodontist, and What Do They Do?<\/h2>\n<p>A prosthodontist is a dentist with specialized training in restoring and replacing damaged or missing teeth. They offer a variety of treatments depending what\u2019s needed:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For teeth that are chipped, fractured or broken, a crown can be placed over the tooth to cover the damaged area. This provides strength and protection for the tooth in addition to creating a natural look.<\/li>\n<li>If a tooth is missing, it can be replaced by a dental implant. This is a post placed into the jaw to serve as the \u201croot\u201d for a crown, providing greater stability and preventing bone loss. Implants provide chewing power almost equal to regular teeth, and they last for a long time.<\/li>\n<li>To replace multiple teeth in a row, a dental bridge may be used. Some bridges are supported by surrounding natural teeth, but they can also be placed on implants for greater longevity.<\/li>\n<li>Full dentures are used when an entire row of teeth is gone, although partial dentures can be used if there are only a few gaps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why Should I See a Prosthodontist Instead of a Dentist?<\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to basic oral care, seeing a non-prosthodontic dentist in Vero Beach is usually fine. However, in situations where teeth are badly damaged or missing altogether, you can benefit from seeing a specialist. In addition to regular dental school, a prosthodontist undergoes three years of additional training that allows them deal with more difficult problems in specific areas of dentistry and restoration. Their advanced knowledge and experience makes them more qualified to deal with problems that require reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>You probably won\u2019t need specialized care for your biannual dental appointments, but in cases where the structural integrity of your teeth and mouth is at risk, you\u2019ll want to seek out an expert. After all, if the worst does happen, it\u2019s important to be able to turn to someone you can trust to give you the care you need!<\/p>\n<h3>About the Practice<\/h3>\n<p>At Vero Implant and Esthetic Dentistry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierdentalvero.com\/our-team.html\">Drs.
