Prosthodontics is the area of dentistry that deals with missing or damaged teeth. It is about restoring and replacing these teeth via crowns, prosthetics or other means.
A prosthodontist can place restorations and replace lost teeth, but so can many dentists, including our dentists in Katoomba, NSW.
