Learn why choosing a prosthodontist can make all the difference in your dental care.
Becoming a prosthodontist requires extensive training beyond dental school, including a three-year residency focused on the restoration and replacement of teeth. This specialized education equips prosthodontists with the skills needed to handle complex dental cases, ensuring precise and aesthetically pleasing results.
Maxillofacial Prosthodontics deals specifically with the head and neck of patients with defects—whether acquired or congenital. This is crucial for patients who require tissue or bone replacement due to birth defects like cleft palate, diseases such as cancer, or trauma from accidents. Maxillofacial Prosthodontists coordinate with a range of healthcare professionals, including oral surgeons, plastic surgeons, radiologists, oncologists, ENTS, and others, to restore oral functions like chewing, speaking, or swallowing, ultimately improving the patient’s overall quality of life.
Dr. Nicholas Goetz specializes in both Prosthodontics and Maxillofacial Prosthodontics. When you choose a prosthodontist, you’re choosing a specialist dedicated to the best results in the industry.
