A prosthodontist is the type of dentist you want to see when things start to not function properly in terms of your jaws and your teeth. He is the one you want to make an appointment with when your jaw starts to pop when you chew or you wake up and can't move your jaw because of the pain. There are many benefits of having a prosthodontist on speed dial.
Improves the Structure and Function of Your Mouth
A prosthodontist can identify minor problems in how your jaws line up or how your teeth fit together. He can offer suggestions on how to relieve the pain in your TMU joint and also help you to stop grinding your teeth in the middle of the night when you're sleeping.
Keeps Your Smile Bright!
The practice of prosthodontics includes the use of dental implants and crowns that can restore your bright smile. If you have lost a tooth due to the erosion of the gums or other types of disease, a prosthodontist can help restore the jaw bone by using dental implants to encourage new bone growth.
Helps to Prevent Tooth Loss
The use of dental implants help to keep the jaw bone strong and can prevent additional tooth loss. You only get one set of teeth. The key is being able to keep them for as long as possible. One of the benefits of consulting with a prosthodontist is that he can identify potential problems long before they begin to affect the stability of your teeth.
