Yes, a prosthodontist specializes in complex cases and restorative therapies. Additionally, a prosthodontist is well-versed in dental implant options.
A dental implant is a titanium post. This post is implanted in your jaw and fuses with bone over a period of months. When fusing is complete, a restoration tooth completes the process.
If you have multiple missing teeth, a few implants can often support an arch of restorations or an affixed denture.
In some cases, when bone loss is present, bone grafting in your jaw may be required for implant stability. Also, sinus lifts may be necessary in certain situations.
