Prosthodontics in Westchester NY

 

Research has shown that adults lose an average of four teeth by the time they are between 50 and 64 years old, causing problems such as reduced self-esteem, trouble eating, and issues pronunciating words. Studies have tied tooth loss to everything from malnutrition to problems climbing the corporate ladder, which is why most adults could use the help of our Westchester prosthodontist, Dr. Steven A. Brisman.

The word “Prosthodontist” literally means a dentist who specializes with the replacement of teeth. Prosthodontics is one of only nine specialties recognized by the American Dental Association, which revolves around the art and science of restoring the form and function of teeth. The study of Prosthodontics involves the diagnosis and rehabilitation of complex oral disorders and diseases, along with focusing on patient comfort, appearance, and health. Our Westchester Prosthodontists specialize in treating patients with missing teeth or damaged oral tissues, as well as treatment planning and preventive care.

Dental Services Offered By Our Westchester Prosthodontists:

• Fitting Patients for Dentures

  Prosthodontists specialize in replacing lost teeth, offering partial dentures, full dentures, and even implant-supported dentures to correct a smile.

• The Placement of Dental Implants

  Our Westchester Prosthodontists are also trained in dental implants from planning, placement, as well as maintenance after the procedure is complete.

• Congenital Oral Disorders and Deformities

  If you were born with maxillofacial problems such as cleft palate, missing teeth, or a misshapen jaw, Prosthodontists can design prostheses to help you to talk and chew normally.

• Cosmetic Dentistry

  Although cosmetic dentistry isn’t a specialty recognized by the American Dental Association, Prosthodontists are more prepared than any other dental specialist to handle cosmetic dental issues. In addition to offering dental bonding and teeth whitening, Prosthodontists can also help you with gum contouring, tooth reshaping, and even crown lengthening.

• Complex Care Management

  When a patient has an oral condition severe enough that it requires multiple specialists, Prosthodontists are often referred to and will assit in overseeing treatment. Prosthodontists frequently handle complex care management for problems due to trauma or cancer, so that the specialists can correct oral tissues, teeth, and overall cosmetic appearance.

• TMJ Problems

  Since Prosthodontists have so much training regarding the oral and maxillofacial anatomy, they can also treat problems like pain or clicking with the temporomandibular joint on your jaw.

• Sleep Disorders

  Prosthodontists are also called upon to create customized mouth guards for people who have sleep problems due to sleep apnea.
