A missing or damaged tooth can have a serious impact on your oral health. Damaged teeth can become infected and cause pain, discomfort, and further oral issues. Missing teeth may cause your teeth to shift, which can ruin orthodontic work and cause serious bite problems.
If you’re missing one or more teeth, or one of your teeth is damaged and needs to be restored, the team at Advanced Dentistry of Mount Pleasant is here to help. Dr. Vinson is an experienced, highly-qualified prosthodontist.
Prosthodontics is the practice of restoring missing or damaged teeth with procedures like dental crowns, bonding, implants, inlays and onlays, dentures and other dental prosthetics. This means that prosthodontics is a special branch of restorative dentistry, and a prosthodontist is a dental specialist. In order to become a prosthodontist, one must take three additional years of advanced dental education and training through a prosthodontics program that has been accredited by the ADA.
Prosthodontists are experts in a number of different restorative procedures, ranging from the simplest fillings and dental crowns to complex full smile restorations that require a number of different treatments.
Dental implant crowns are one of our specialties at Advanced Dentistry of Mount Pleasant. After your dental implant has been placed, Dr. Vinson will create a customized dental prosthetic that will attach to the implant and restoring your smile. If you are missing many or all of your teeth, dental implants can also be used to restore your teeth in a specialized way using multiple implants.
