A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the replacement of missing teeth and other oral structures using prosthetic devices such as dentures, bridges, and implants. They are experts in the restoration of both function and aesthetics, and they work to create natural-looking replacement teeth that blend seamlessly with a patient's existing teeth. They also work on more complex cases, such as full-mouth reconstruction, and can use advanced technology such as digital imaging and computer-aided design to create customized treatment plans. They work closely with general dentists and other dental specialists to provide comprehensive care for their patients. They also provide rehabilitation of the oral and maxillofacial region in case of injury, defects and congenital malformations.
