Prosthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on designing, creating, and fitting artificial replacements for teeth and other oral structures. This field addresses issues such as missing teeth, damaged teeth, and jaw problems, helping patients restore their smiles and improve their oral function. Common treatments include dentures, crowns, and bridges. Prosthodontists are trained to work with various materials, including ceramics and metals, to create durable and aesthetically pleasing dental prosthetics. They also collaborate with other dental professionals to ensure comprehensive care for patients, enhancing both their appearance and quality of life through improved oral health.
