Board Certified Prosthodontists are prosthodontists that have gone on to pass extensive examinations by the American Board of Prosthodontics. This examination process involves several examinations over a period of years.

Less than half of 1% of dentists in the U.S. are Board Certified Prosthodontists.

Why See a Board Certified Prosthodontist?

Prosthodontics (also known as dental prosthetics or prosthetic dentistry) is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). Prosthodontists specialize in the diagnosis, restoration, and replacement of missing teeth. Prosthodontists can restore oral function through the placement of restorations or prostheses (dentures, crowns, implants, etc.).

Extensive training and experience give prosthodontists a unique understanding of restoring the dynamics of a smile and healthy mouth with the creation of tooth prostheses. Becoming a prosthodontist requires an additional three years of specialty training after obtaining a DDS (Doctor of Dental Surgery) degree or DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) . 
This specialized training must be completed at an ADA-accredited prosthodontic education program.

The selective integration of digital workflow, mainly with prosthetically driven virtual planning and guided implant surgery will be highlighted, thereby reducing treatment time and cost. To conclude, the final ceramic material decision will be analyzed on the basis of functional and esthetic rendition as well as expected strength performance according to the patient’s condition without disregarding the requirements of biocompatibility, esthetics and improved long term prognosis.
