At our dental clinic located in Bayside, Dublin, our prosthodontist specialises in the cosmetic and aesthetic restoration and replacement of teeth.

Our prosthodontics treatments also include implant restoration, addressing temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), and the rehabilitation of occlusion with prostheses.

What is Prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is a dental specialty that focuses on the use of various prostheses in dentistry. This field involves diagnosing, planning treatment, and providing ongoing maintenance for overall oral function. We prioritize patient comfort, appearance, and dental health, addressing issues such as deficient or missing teeth and oral/maxillofacial tissues by using biocompatible substitutes.

Prosthodontic procedures we undertake include:

• Veneers
• Bridges
• Inlays
• Crowns
• Partial dentures
• Complete dentures

Prosthodontist at Smile Hub Dental Clinic

Choosing an experienced prosthodontist who utilises the latest technology is always the best choice. Prosthodontists specialise in replacing and restoring teeth. In addition to dental school graduation, they have completed advanced training and education through a graduate program in prosthodontics.

Prosthodontics provides high-level care to patients with missing teeth, significant dental damage, congenital defects, dental trauma, or neglect. With advanced techniques and procedures, prosthodontists can treat complex dental conditions including bridges, crowns, partial removable dentures, removable complete dentures, dental implants, temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), traumatic injuries, sleep disorders, snoring, oral cancer reconstruction, and restoration of damaged teeth.

Damaged teeth can result from developmental defects, trauma, decay, failed fillings, teeth grinding, diet or disease-related acid damage, or reduced saliva production. Prosthodontists offer services like fillings, crowns, and veneers tailored to each patient’s specific requirements, ranging from minor interventions to more complex treatments.

Replacement of missing teeth

Prosthodontists provide patients with various options for replacing missing teeth, including complete dentures, removable partial dentures, implants, fixed bridges, or combinations of these treatments. They work closely with dental technicians to ensure that every custom-made prosthesis is comfortable, functional, and visually appealing.

Dental implants

Prosthodontists have been pioneers in the field of dental implants, which have revolutionised dentistry. Over the past thirty years, they have been at the forefront of research and development in this area. Dental implants offer significant advantages as an alternative to traditional tooth replacement options, making them the state-of-the-art treatment for patients who have lost some or all of their teeth.
