Prosthodontic Dentistry

Prosthododntic Dentistry

A prosthodontist is a dental specialist with an expertise in restoration dentistry and the replacement of teeth. Prosthodontists receive an extra three years of intense dental training beyond the regular four years of dental school in an American Dental Association (ADA) accredited graduate program. With their advanced training prosthodontists can restore your smile and improve your appearance using prosthodontic treatments to fix, broken, discolored or misshaped teeth and associated tooth structures. Prosthodontics also known as Prosthetic Dentistry is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the ADA and of the 170,000 dentists in the United States only roughly 3,200 of them are prosthodontists.

Krueger is proud to provide multiple levels of care and works closely with dental patients from the initial exam all the way through treatment and into after care. Prosthodontist’s help create a comprehensive treatment plan to provide patients with an understanding of the options available for the best level of treatment and are considered the “problem solvers” of restorative dentistry.
