What is prosthodontics?
Also known as dental prosthetics or prosthetic dentistry, it is specialized dentistry pertaining to the maintenance, rehabilitation, and ongoing care of the appearance, comfort, beauty, health, and oral functionality of patients who may have clinical conditions that emerge when teeth have been lost or missing for prolonged periods of time.
