Prosthodontics, a specialised branch of dentistry, focuses on crafting dental prosthetics for damaged or missing teeth. A prosthodontist is a dental specialist with advanced training in creating crowns, bridges, dentures, and other restorative treatments. Additionally, they are adept at treating TMJ disorders.
Imagine a prosthodontist as the lead architect of dental aesthetics. Just as an architect draws up plans and oversees the construction of a building to ensure it’s both beautiful and functional, a prosthodontist designs and implements treatment plans to restore the beauty and function of your teeth.
Acting as the chief strategist of a dental project, prosthodontists collaborate with other dental professionals to ensure restorations are indistinguishable from natural teeth.
Like the lead architect who ensures that every detail of a building is perfect, from its foundational structure to its aesthetic facade, a prosthodontist is the expert in crafting dental implants, cosmetic and reconstructive dentistry.
They have a profound understanding of the dynamics of a perfect smile, the importance of a healthy mouth, and the art of creating flawless tooth replacements.
The final masterpiece? A rejuvenated sense of oral wellness, a smile you can be proud of, and confidence that radiates.
You might consider a prosthodontist if you have:
01
Revitalising Your Smile: A prosthodontist’s expertise rejuvenates your smile with bespoke dental appliances that resemble natural teeth. Whether you have facial gaps in your teeth or severe damage, Dr Jurie Steyn will design a tailored treatment plan.
02
03
Staving Off Bone Loss: Losing teeth can cause the jaw bone to deteriorate, potentially changing your facial structure. Using dental implants and other tools, a prosthodontist prevents this deterioration and upholds your dental health.
04
Enhancing Overall Health: A strong link exists between oral and overall health. While you should schedule regular dental check-ups, you need a prosthodontist consultation if you have missing or badly damaged teeth. Their expertise ensures lasting, high-quality solutions.
Inlays and onlays offer a durable and aesthetic solution for teeth that have suffered decay or damage. They are custom-made fillings crafted from porcelain or composite materials, designed to fit perfectly into or onto the affected tooth, restoring its shape and function.
Dental implants are state-of-the-art surgical components embedded into the jawbone, acting as a sturdy foundation to support various dental prostheses, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. They provide a long-term solution, mimicking the root of a natural tooth, and ensure the stability and functionality of the replacement tooth or teeth.
