Why should I see a prosthodontist?

A prosthodontist is a specialist who is registered with the Dental Board of Australia in the field of prosthodontics. They undergo a minimum of three years of full-time advanced training, allowing them to treat complex and difficult cases where your general dentist cannot. The primary roles of a prosthodontist are to diagnose, treat and rehabilitate patients who have lost their teeth or require advance care in oral restorative work. Their services include provision of dentures, veneers, dental implants, inlays, onlays, crowns, bridges and much more.

Differences between prosthodontist and cosmetic dentist

Since “cosmetic dentistry” is not a recognised dental specialty, a “cosmetic dentist” is a layperson’s description of a general dentist who offers treatments focussed on enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. A prosthodontist is an effective cosmetic dentist possessing advanced expertise and an appropriate educational background in this field.

A prosthodontist also has the requisite skills to coordinate and administer a full mouth reconstruction involving coordination of multiple treatments and different specialties. As the title suggests, prosthodontists further specialise in creating natural and life-like prosthetic devices to replace your missing teeth.

MDS is a QIP accredited practice

We are proud to be a Quality Innovation Performance (QIP) accredited practice. Our QIP accreditation demonstrates the high standards of patient care and safety in accordance with National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) standards.

No referrals required

We are able to work closely with your general dentist, dental technician or orthodontist as a referred specialist. However, you do not need a referral to obtain our services. At Manningham Dental Specialists, we welcome all patients, whether direct or referred.
