In our blog “Main Priorities of a Prosthodontist,” we focused in on the very focus of the prosthodontics specialization. Prosthodontists are often called the “architects of the smile” and are highly-trained specialists with a unique understanding of all the elements that go into a beautiful, functional, and natural-looking smile.
At Villa Canyon Prosthodontics--we offer a comprehensive list of treatments including traditional cosmetic dentistry as well as innovative cosmetic dental procedures. The prosthodontics specialization can address a wide array of oral health care concerns in comparison to a standard dentist. For this reason--we have put together 3 common motivations for why a patient would want or need to visit a prosthodontist.
Reason #1
Your teeth have become stained, discolored, chipped, broken, misaligned, or have unwanted spaces and gaps between them.
Dr. Bleeker at Villa Canyon Prosthodontics is the go-to Scottsdale prosthodontist for cosmetic dentistry. In our blog “Create a Beautiful Smile with Cosmetic Dentistry,” we list out a number of cosmetic dental solutions for those looking to enhance their smiles. Some of the treatment options available are bridges, crowns, dental implant restorations, and more. After thoroughly evaluating your condition, Dr. Bleeker will come up with a treatment plan designed to restore optimal results using the least invasive procedures available.
Reason #2
Your teeth are in need of dental restoration.
Dental restoration often overlaps with cosmetic dentistry as it addresses both the aesthetics and function of teeth. Dental restoration can range anywhere from wanting to enhance your smile with porcelain veneers, replacing missing teeth, or restoring normal eating and chewing functions. Check out our blog “Do Your Teeth Require Restorative Treatment?” to determine if your teeth are in need of restorative treatment with a prosthodontist.
Reason #3
You have temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), severe snoring, sleep apnea, need reconstruction of the teeth following oral cancer treatments, or need reconstruction of the teeth due to trauma.
A prosthodontist typically works in concert with other dental health professionals to ensure the best possible restorative results are achieved. Scottsdale Prosthodontist Dr. Bleeker is a member of the craniofacial team at Barrows, St. Joseph’s Medical Center. He works with a variety of specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, and plastic surgery to help restore the esthetics and function of damaged structures.
