What, exactly, is a prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a general dentist who has completed an additional three years of training in an accredited American Dental Association graduate program, learning how to design, manufacture, and fit artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth. Prosthodontists have the skills, experience, and understanding to treat patients with functional and esthetic concerns best addressed through the use of bridges, complete and partial removable dentures, crowns, veneers, and dental implants.
Why choose a prosthodontist over a general dentistry practice?
Specialty training makes Dr. Boardman particularly adept at replacing missing or damaged teeth and restoring optimum dental function. Her Fine Art degree is an assurance that she takes pride and special care when it comes to treatment esthetics. She works closely with a network of trusted dental professionals to diagnose and develop treatment plans specific to each patient’s unique requirements and concerns. Returning function, comfort, and patients’ pride in their appearance are her primary goals.Because some patients experience dental anxiety (Thanks, Little Shop of Horrors), we welcome you to a relaxing, wheelchair-accessible office with a sunny deck filled with succulents, fruit trees, and live bamboo.
