What are Prosthodontics

Prosthodontics in San Francisco is a branch of dentistry focused on designing, creating, and fitting artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth. It’s all about restoring function and aesthetics, ensuring that your smile is beautiful and fully functional.

Benefits of Prosthodontic Treatment

• Improved Aesthetics: Prosthodontic treatment can significantly enhance the appearance of your teeth and smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem.
• Restored Functionality: Whether it’s chewing, speaking, or smiling, prosthodontics can restore the natural functions of your mouth, allowing you to enjoy daily activities without discomfort.
• Enhanced Oral Health: By replacing missing or damaged teeth, prosthodontics helps maintain the alignment of surrounding teeth, preventing potential oral health issues.
• Durability and Longevity: Prosthodontic solutions are designed to be long-lasting, providing dependable and durable results for many years.
• Customized Care: Each prosthodontic treatment is tailored to meet your unique needs, ensuring personalized care and optimal results for your dental health.

Signs You May Need Prosthodontics

1. Missing Teeth: If you have one or more missing teeth, you may find it difficult to chew food properly or speak clearly. Missing teeth can also impact the structure and appearance of your face, leading to further oral health problems.
2. Damaged or Decayed Teeth: Teeth that are severely damaged or decayed can’t always be restored with simple fillings. Prosthodontics offers solutions like crowns and bridges to restore compromised teeth’ function and appearance.
3. Jaw Pain or Discomfort: Jaw pain can stem from imbalanced bite forces due to missing or misaligned teeth. Our dentists can evaluate and address these issues, providing relief and restoring comfort.
4. Desire for Improved Aesthetics: Beyond functionality, prosthodontics enhances aesthetics. If you’re unhappy with the appearance of your teeth or smile, our dentists can craft a solution that meets your cosmetic goals.
5. Loose or Uncomfortable Dentures: Ill-fitting dentures are uncomfortable and can cause embarrassment. If dentures are loose or causing discomfort, prosthodontics can provide a more secure and comfortable fit.
6. Difficulty Chewing or Speaking: Prosthodontic interventions, which help restore the natural function of the mouth, can alleviate problems with chewing or speaking clearly.
