Your general dentist may refer you to a Scottsdale prosthodontist if you have special dental concerns that are affecting your smile or how your mouth functions. Missing or damaged teeth can cause problems with how your jaws align and also how you chew your food. This can have an impact on your digestive tract, making it work harder than it needs to and causing your body to struggle for nutrition.
Advanced Training
A Scottsdale prosthodontist has received advanced training over and above the ability to provide generalized dental care. Their training involves the ability to restore proper function to the mouth by repairing the damage that may have altered the form of the structures. A Scottsdale prosthodontist can use the latest advancements in technology to formulate care plans that replace missing or damaged teeth, rebuild gum tissue and bone, and realign the jaw using devices that naturally guide the structures back into place.
Restoring Your Mouth to Its Natural Form
Returning your teeth, gums, and soft tissues to as close to natural form as possible will improve how your mouth functions. By restoring the mouth's natural form, you will be able to chew your food more thoroughly, speak much more clearly, and have a higher quality of life without the pain and discomfort of conditions like TMJ syndrome.
