Prosthodontists are dentists who are specially trained in prosthodontics, i.e., the study of aesthetic and reconstructive dentistry. Prosthodontists are specialized in placing porcelain crowns, dental implants, dentures, etc. Most of the techniques and procedures in cosmetic dentistry fall under the care and supervision of a prosthodontist.
A dentist undergoes an additional two to three years of post-doctorate education and training to specialize in prosthodontics. This training must be in a hospital- or university-based program accredited by the American Dental Association. A significant amount of training is dedicated to understanding the anatomy of a patient’s head and neck, as well as education on materials, aesthetics, and bite functionality. Prosthodontists are specially trained to treat the most complex dental cases, from congenital disorders to full mouth reconstruction. A dentist who calls himself a cosmetic dentist may have only attended short training classes or seminars on cosmetic dental procedures.
While all dentists are trained for the care of your teeth, prosthodontists are specially trained to treat more than just your teeth. Jaw functionality, repair due to trauma or surgery, and other defects can all be treated by a prosthodontist like Dr. Bullock.
Dr. Bullock is indeed a prosthodontist. This means that in additional to dental school, he has undergone additional years of study and training to specialize in the treatment of your teeth, head and neck, and the tools, procedures, and materials needed to complete treatment. Whereas some dentists will refer you to a specialist, Dr. Bullock can treat most issues right here in this Wellesley, Massachusetts office.
If you are in need of expert reconstructive, restorative or cosmetic dental care, look for a prosthodontist.
