As a prosthodontist, he examines and treats all types of disabilities caused by loss of teeth and supporting structures, this is frequently accomplished with the use of dental implants. With help from his highly trained team members, he provides advanced treatment plans and surgery for the construction of corrective restorations and prostheses to restore proper function and esthetics of the mouth, face, and jaw.

• TMD, TMJ, or other jaw joint ailments
• Pre-radiation/chemotherapy protocols for head and neck cancer patients

What does full mouth reconstruction mean?
Dental treatment that affects all of the teeth in the mouth is called full mouth reconstruction or full mouth rehabilitation. Prosthodontists are the recognized experts in such treatments. The treatments can range from crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures that will essentially provide a “smile makeover” for the patient.
