What treatments do Prosthodontists provide?

The treatment provided by Prosthodontists may include the provision of restorations (fillings), dentures (full or partial), fixed crowns or dental bridges, veneers, and/or implants.

What is the cost of seeing a Prosthodontist?

The cost of Prosthodontic treatment is determined by each patient’s individual requirements.

If you require prosthodontic treatment, you will receive a detailed treatment plan and fee estimate following a thorough diagnosis and discussion at your first appointment.

Your Prosthodontist may work in collaboration with other specialists and your general dentist to ensure you receive the necessary treatment.
