Prosthodontists are dental specialists with advanced training and artistry in restoring your smile—perfect for on-point, long-lasting results that go beyond the basics.
When it comes to your oral health and appearance, choosing the right dental professional matters more than you might think. While general dentists provide essential care like cleanings, fillings, and preventive treatments, prosthodontists focus on the most complex and transformative cases—those that require precision, deep understanding of facial structure, and a balance between function and beauty.
Choosing a dental specialist isn’t just a matter of preference—it can make all the difference between a “good enough” solution and a stunning, durable one that lasts for years. Here’s how prosthodontists stand apart from general dentists:
Prosthodontists complete three or more years of advanced education beyond dental school in an ADA-accredited program. This extra training centers on restoring oral function, comfort, and aesthetics through advanced materials, digital design, and cutting-edge techniques.
Prosthodontics is one of only 12 dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). This means prosthodontists aren’t just improving the appearance of your teeth—they’re also restoring how your mouth works, feels, and moves.
Dr. Marisa Patt, BOCO Dental’s board-certified prosthodontist, brings this depth of expertise to every patient she treats, blending science, artistry, and compassionate care to create truly transformative outcomes.
Unlike general dentists, prosthodontists specialize in the most challenging and detailed restorations. They manage cases involving:
Known as the “artists of dentistry,” prosthodontists fuse technical precision with aesthetic design. At BOCO Dental & Prosthodontics, Dr. Patt applies this expertise using treatments like custom porcelain veneers, dental implants, and advanced prosthetic solutions to help patients regain both confidence and function.
While many dental professionals offer cosmetic treatments, not all have the specialized training to perform complex aesthetic restorations that require both beauty and long-term functionality.
Prosthodontists are uniquely qualified to deliver this balance. They understand how each component of the mouth—teeth, gums, and jaw—work together to achieve natural-looking results that last.
The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry underscores the importance of accredited specialists in achieving high-quality aesthetic outcomes. Accreditation ensures your provider has demonstrated exceptional skill, ethical standards, and artistic mastery in cosmetic dentistry.
Beyond creating beautiful smiles, prosthodontists are experts in bite alignment, jaw function, and facial harmony. This includes diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders, restoring proper jaw movement, and managing the relationship between bone health and prosthetic restorations.
This broader understanding of facial anatomy allows prosthodontists to restore both form and function—ensuring every smile looks natural, feels comfortable, and supports long-term oral wellness.
At BOCO Dental & Prosthodontics, this specialist knowledge comes to life through advanced techniques and personalized care. Every treatment plan begins with a deep understanding of each patient’s unique needs, goals, and anatomy.
