What Is a Prosthodontist?

The doctors at Cary Prosthodontics are prosthodontists, but what is the difference between a prosthodontist and a general dentist? Prosthodontics is one of the 12 dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. This type of dentist focuses on restoring the oral function of patients with missing or deficient teeth using biocompatible substitutes. Our Cary, NC, prosthodontists are different from other dentists serving the needs of greater Raleigh in a number of ways, including:

Rigorous Medical Training

This type of specialist must undergo a demanding three-year post-doctoral program or residency in an ADA-accredited prosthodontics program. During this time, the dentist develops the skills and experience needed to treat a diverse range of patients with highly complex dental issues.

State-of-the-Art Care

As part of prosthodontics training, these doctors learn to use the latest dental technology. We use advanced technologies including CAD/CAM software, intraoral scanning, extraoral scanning, cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), digital implant planning, and stereolithography.

Specialized Dental Services

Our doctors, Brandon Kofford, DMD, and Kevin Lim, DMD, have a combination of extensive training and an in-depth understanding of advanced technology. This allows them to provide patients with the dedicated treatment needed to restore their oral health and improve their daily lives.

How Can Prosthodontics Help Me?

If the condition of your teeth causes you pain, trouble eating your favorite foods, or feelings of low self-esteem, prosthodontics from our Cary, NC, dentistry practice can restore proper function and help you achieve a picture-perfect smile. Featured services include:

Dental Implants

Missing teeth do more than just affect the appearance of your smile. The roots of teeth are important to keep your jawbone strong. When a tooth is lost, the lack of stimulation causes the bone tissue in your jaw to begin to deteriorate. Left untreated, jawbone atrophy can lead to further tooth loss. Dental implants are the only treatment in modern dentistry that is proven to stop jawbone atrophy. This is because implants act as substitute tooth roots, offering unmatched stability for a restoration such as a crown, bridge, or denture. Our prosthodontists can develop an implant treatment plan to address your tooth loss and provide you with a strong, stunning smile.

Dental Bonding

Imperfections in our teeth such as chips, cracks, gaps, and stains can cause patients to feel self-conscious about the appearance of their smile. Dental bonding uses a tooth-colored material to conceal imperfections and create a smile you can be proud to share. Bonding is an affordable option and also requires minimal tooth alteration when compared to alternative treatments such as dental veneers. Dental bonding can be performed in a single office visit and unlike veneers, is reversible.

Dental Crowns

A tooth compromised by trauma or decay can be restored and protected following treatment with a durable dental crown. Using advanced materials that are engineered to mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, our skilled prosthodontists can create a dental crown that will be color-matched to blend seamlessly with your smile. Placed over a prepared tooth, a dental crown can protect your tooth from further damage and help you avoid the need for extraction. Designed to withstand normal biting forces, a dental crown can provide a decade or longer of reliable service with proper care and regular dental visits. Reinforce a weakened tooth and restore full function to your smile with a life-like dental crown from Cary Prosthodontics.

Dentures

Our advanced dentistry practice can address widespread tooth loss with custom dentures. Our doctors offer a range of denture options to meet the individual needs of our patients including traditional full and partial dentures, implant-supported dentures, and All-on-4® restorations. Our prosthodontists pride themselves on creating highly aesthetic dentures for patients suffering from total or near-total tooth loss. We have developed an exclusive manufacturing process in-house that utilizes our advanced technology. This allows us to provide patients with a new denture in three visits. Our doctors can even convert existing dentures into an implant-supported restoration.
