At Uptown Dentistry and Prosthodontics, we're pleased to offer general and prosthodontic services. Dr. Jennifer Still provides general dental services, while Dr. John Chen specializes in prosthodontics. But what does that mean, and how does it benefit you? Read on for the answers!
Is There a Difference Between a General Dentist and Prosthodontist?
Yes! After finishing dental school, Dr. Chen went on to complete three additional years of training to specialize in prosthodontics.
However, he is also a general dentist who can handle all your routine dental needs. His additional training means he specializes in treating complex facial and dental structural cases, including tooth repair, replacement, and full mouth reconstruction.
Who Needs a Prosthodontist?
You may benefit from seeing a prosthodontist if you're dealing with any of these conditions:
- Missing teeth
- Facial concerns - like a cleft palate
- Sleep apnea
- Snoring disorders
- Facial trauma or oral injury
- Jaw joint disorders or pain
- Misaligned bite
- Improve your teeth and smile's appearance
At Uptown Dentistry and Prosthodontics, Dr. Chen and Dr. Still can care for all your dental needs. So whether you need your next preventive teeth cleaning or have complex issues with broken or missing teeth, we've got you covered!
