What is a Prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a registered dental specialist who has undergone 3 years of additional post-graduate training. As a result, they specialise in the restoration of teeth using the best quality crowns, fillings and veneers; and the replacement of teeth with contemporary dentures, dental implants and bridges. Ultimately, a prosthodontist is highly trained in the art of creating beautiful, functional and life-changing smiles.
