Pi Dental Center is celebrating prosthodontists during National Prosthodontics Awareness Week.
NPAW WEEK
National Prosthodontics Awareness Week is held from April 21 to 27, 2024. The goal of this week is to raise awareness for the specialty of prosthodontics.
Prosthodontics is an American Dental Association recognized dental specialty. Prosthodontists specialize in the restoration and replacement of missing and damaged teeth. Prosthodontists receive three additional years of specialty training to treat patients.
PROSTHODONTIC CARE
It should be noted that some of the conditions that prosthodontists treat include missing teeth due to accidents, health problems or congenital conditions. Prosthodontists maintain and restore teeth with excessive wear and esthetic concerns. Dental implants, dentures, crowns and veneers can be used to help patients improve their oral health and quality of life.
Indeed, there are an estimated 120 million people in the United States who are missing at least one tooth. The absence of even one tooth can severely impact an individual’s confidence, job prospects, and overall health. Thankfully, there are dental specialists uniquely qualified to help restore these smiles: prosthodontists.
If a person has a heart problem, they would go to a cardiologist. The same is true for missing or damaged teeth. Whether it’s chewing a favorite food or achieving the smile of your dreams, prosthodontists are your partners in healthy, long-lasting restored teeth. Prosthodontists are prepared to treat the most complex oral health care issues.
PROSTHODONTISTS ARE CALLED THE ARCHITECTS OF A SMILE.
Whether you need to replace one tooth, or many teeth, a prosthodontist works with you every step of the way, from consultation to follow-up care, to restore smiles, and confidence. In addition, prosthodontists have a unique understanding of all of the elements that go into creating a beautiful, functional and natural-looking smile. This includes the teeth, gums, lips and facial features.
