Paul and Nicole in NOLA

We love having Sister Missionaries in our area. They give the kids stickers, read them books, and even helped fold my laundry. They are very special. Thank you for your humble service and all your hard work!

Q.) what is a Prosthodontist? A.) is a dentist who specializes in prosthodontics, the specialty of implant, esthetic and reconstructive dentistry. ~ They specialize in the restoration of oral function by creating prostheses and restorations (complete dentures, crowns, implant retained/supported restorations). ~ Cosmetic dentistry, implants and joint problems all fall under the field of prosthodontics. ~ Becoming one requires an additional 3-4 years of specialty training after obtaining a dental degree (D.D.S. or D.M.D.) ~ The extra 3-4 years of residency leads to becoming a specialist. ~ This amounts to an immense amount of time spent in clinical and didactic study from 3000 hours over 3 years. ~ Training consists of rigorous preparation in head and neck anatomy, materials science, esthetics, and occlusion (bite). ~ Due to this extensive training, they are frequently called upon to treat cosmetic cases, full mouth implant reconstructions, TMD related disorders, congenital disorders, and sleep disorders by planning and fabricating various prostheses and orthotic appliances. ~
