Lake Nona Prosthodontics
What is prosthodontics?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is an internationally recognized specialty which focuses on diagnosis and management of conditions, diseases, and deformities involving the face, jaws, and mouth. This is the only specialty that encompasses formal hospital-based residency of 4-6 years of training in medicine, dentistry, surgery, and anesthesiology.
What is a prosthodontist?
Our Lake Nona prosthodontists are dental specialists who have completed 3 additional years of formal residency training in the areas of restorative/reconstructive dentistry, dental implants, complete dentures, partial dentures, occlusion (the science and study of the bite and jaw function), dentofacial defects, dental laboratory procedures, and aesthetics.
They are considered the most highly-trained specialists in the restoration and replacement of missing teeth. Usually, a prosthodontist is involved in the care of patients whose needs are so extensive and complex that they exceed the capabilities of what can be offered by general or family dentists. Prosthodontists work closely with other dental specialists such as oral and maxillofacial surgeons, endodontists, periodontists, orthodontists, and dental lab technicians in order to provide beautiful, functional, lasting, and customized solutions for patients. Our specialties include Lake Nona dental implants and Lake Nona smile design.
