Recognized as one of the eight dental specialties by the American Dental Association, prosthodontists undergo four years of dental school followed by three years of specialized training.

    What is a prosthodontist?
    A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the restoration and replacement of missing teeth and oral structures. At Premier Dental Associates, our prosthodontists are highly trained in designing and fitting dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants to restore your smile’s functionality and aesthetics.
    You should consider seeing a prosthodontist if you have missing teeth, damaged teeth, or are experiencing issues with your current dental prosthetics. Whether you need a single tooth replacement or a full-mouth restoration, our prosthodontists at Premier Dental Associates in Lyndhurst, OH, will assess your oral health needs and provide personalized treatment options.
    Dental implants offer several benefits, including improved oral health, enhanced aesthetics, and restored functionality. They are durable, long-lasting, and provide stability to adjacent teeth and jawbone structure. Our prosthodontists at Premier Dental Associates specialize in dental implant placement and restoration, ensuring you receive optimal results and a natural-looking smile.
    With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. Their longevity is attributed to the biocompatible materials used and the integration of the implant with the jawbone. Our prosthodontists at Premier Dental Associates will provide you with guidance on maintaining oral hygiene and regular check-ups to ensure the longevity of your dental implants.
    While dental implants are a popular tooth replacement option, not everyone may be a suitable candidate. Factors such as overall health, jawbone density, and gum health play a role in determining candidacy. Our prosthodontists at Premier Dental Associates will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.
    The process of getting dental implants typically involves multiple stages, including initial consultation, implant placement surgery, healing period, and placement of the final restoration. Our experienced prosthodontists at Premier Dental Associates will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction with the outcome.
    Dental implants require regular oral hygiene practices, including brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups, just like natural teeth. Our prosthodontists at Premier Dental Associates will provide you with personalized care instructions tailored to your specific needs to ensure the longevity and success of your dental implants.
    Yes, dental implants can significantly improve your chewing ability and speech clarity. Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants are anchored securely to the jawbone, providing stability and functionality similar to natural teeth. Our prosthodontists at Premier Dental Associates will design custom-made restorations to ensure optimal comfort and functionality for your unique smile.
    Depending on your specific needs and preferences, alternatives to dental implants may include dental bridges, partial dentures, or implant-supported dentures. Our prosthodontists at Premier Dental Associates will discuss all available treatment options with you and help you make an informed decision based on your oral health goals and budget.
    Coverage for dental implant treatment varies depending on your insurance provider and policy. Some dental insurance plans may cover a portion of the cost of dental implants, while others may not provide coverage. Our knowledgeable team at Premier Dental Associates will assist you in navigating your insurance benefits and explore alternative financing options to make treatment affordable for you.

    I only gave 5 stars because the system won’t let me give 10! I’m a new patient and my experience has been top notch in every respect. From communication to scheduling to all of the dental services I received, I can’t say enough about the professionalism and skill of this team. I think I interacted with every member of the practice and all were unfailingly polite, welcoming, empathetic, friendly, and extraordinarily capable. I very quickly realized I was in excellent hands. I feel so fortunate to have found my new dental ‘home’, and I would recommend this practice to you without reservation!
