What a prosthodontist covers
Prosthodontics is the dental speciality focused on restoring and replacing teeth. A prosthodontist plans and carries out crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures and dental implants, and manages complex cases such as heavily worn teeth, failed previous restorations, congenitally missing teeth and rehabilitation after trauma or cancer treatment. Much of the work is about how teeth look and function together — bite, aesthetics and long-term durability.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually starts with your dental history and concerns, an examination and often X-rays or a scan. The prosthodontist will explain what they find, outline the options with their pros, cons and typical costs, and answer your questions so you can decide without pressure.
Preparing for your appointment
Bring a list of your medicines and medical conditions, any recent dental X-rays or referral letters, and note down your main concerns and questions. If cost matters to you, it is reasonable to ask for a written treatment plan and estimate before starting.
After your consultation and follow-up
You may leave with a treatment plan, a follow-up appointment, or a referral for further care. Complex treatment is often staged over several visits, with reviews to check healing and results. Good day-to-day oral hygiene and attending reviews help protect the outcome.
Booking, referrals and fees
Many patients book directly; some are referred by their general dentist. Fees vary with the treatment and the individual case and are not quotes — confirm current charges with the clinic. Ask whether MediSave or insurance applies to any surgical portion of your treatment.
Common questions
What is the difference between a prosthodontist and a general dentist?
A prosthodontist has completed several years of additional accredited training in restoring and replacing teeth, and tends to handle more complex crown, bridge, denture and implant work.
Are dental implants better than dentures or bridges?
Each option suits different situations. The right choice depends on your bone, remaining teeth, health and budget, which the prosthodontist will assess before recommending an approach.
How long do crowns and implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular reviews many restorations last many years, though this varies with the case and individual factors. Your dentist can give a realistic estimate for your situation.
