Prosthodontics: Reconstructing Your Oral Health
Losing one tooth can be devastating. What more if you lose all of your teeth? Your jaw bone will recede and become soft, and your cheeks will droop because there is no more solid support inside your mouth. Prosthodontics aims to restore one or more missing teeth to bring back the strength and structure of your teeth and face. A prosthodontist is an expert in recreating your teeth using new and long-lasting prosthetics.
With today’s state-of-the-art dental tools and reconstructive materials, prosthetics can last for a lifetime. Some of the most common restorations include:
Dental crowns
Bridges
Veneers
Inlays and Onlays
Partial and complete dentures
Dental implants
Applications of Prosthodontics
Prosthodontics don’t only deal with restorations for the teeth but also the jaws. This is known as maxillofacial prosthodontics. This branch of dentistry restores the structure of the jaws. It treats conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding), edentulism (complete tooth loss), occlusal trauma (damage to the teeth due to external force), and temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ). Maxillofacial prosthodontists also restore teeth in patients who have suffered from congenital deformities, oral cancer, and deformities due to accidents.
Dental reconstruction is not just for cosmetic purposes. The quality of life of patients who receive prosthodontic treatments can improve significantly. Patients will not only be able to smile again with perfect-looking teeth. They can also speak clearly, eat any food they want, and regain the plumpness of their cheeks and jaws. Most patients who have undergone prosthodontic treatment are very satisfied with their newly constructed teeth and agree that the cost is very much worth it.
We would like all of our patients to receive quality treatment. We have several payment plans available for you to choose from. You may discuss this with us before proceeding with prosthodontic treatment.

What Sets a Prosthodontist Apart from a Regular Dentist?
A prosthodontist received the same education and training as a regular dentist, but after passing the dental licensure examination, they took another three or more years to study their specialization. Prosthodontists have more credentials and knowledge in dental restorations than regular dentists.
Which Dental Prosthetic Should I Get?
The type of dental restoration you need depends on several factors. Our resident prosthodontist will examine you first to get a proper diagnosis and develop an ideal treatment plan. You can choose if more than one prosthetic is suitable for you.
Why Are Dental Restorations Expensive?
Most dental restorations can last for a decade or two, which means they are very much worth the investment. These prosthetics are made of high-quality and biocompatible materials which are safe, effective, and long-lasting.
Does Insurance Cover Prosthodontics?
While most basic policies don’t cover prosthetics and restorations, some have riders or premiums specifically for prosthodontics. You may discuss this directly with your health insurance provider.
What If I Can’t Afford Dental Prosthetics?
Endeavour Smiles offers a wide range of payment options to cater to the individual needs of patients. We will help you find the most reasonable mode of payment possible for your specific case. You may call our hotline for more details.
