Additional Prosthodontics Questions

Do I need to go to a certified prosthodontist?

While many dentists can perform prosthodontic procedures, going to a certified prosthodontist ensures that your dentist has received the highest training and has completed the rigorous certification requirements. When you are having complex prosthodontic procedures performed, you want to be confident that your dentist possesses the skills and experience needed to provide you with the best possible results.

New Jersey Prosthodontist Dr. Green has a dual certification in prosthodontics and implant surgery. As a result, he has the skills and ability to complete many complicated procedures that other cosmetic dentists must refer out to a specialist.

How is a prosthodontist different from a cosmetic dentist?

Cosmetic dentistry is not one of the nine specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. As a result, there is no certification in cosmetic dentistry. While many prosthodontists have backgrounds in cosmetic dentistry and can perform cosmetic procedures with a great deal of skill and artistry, many cosmetic dentists lack the intensive training in prosthodontics required to receive certification.

If you have a complex prosthodontics issue, you will need the services of a highly trained, certified prosthodontist to ensure that you receive the best quality results.

What are the options available for replacing my missing teeth?

Dr. Green can provide you with a variety of options to replace your missing teeth. After performing a comprehensive oral examination, he will recommend the best treatment method to accommodate your oral health issues. Depending on your condition, Dr. Green may recommend:

• Dentures
• Removable Partials
• Dental Bridges
• Dental Implants

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a permanent artificial replacement for a missing tooth. They look and feel like natural teeth and help prevent bone and gum damage caused by missing teeth. Dr. Green is a dual certified prosthodontist and implant surgeon. He has the training and qualifications to perform all of your implant dentistry work in his office, unlike many other dentists who may need to refer you out to a specialist.
