Paul and Nicole in NOLA: Bunny Rabbits

Jacque & Abboot are so cute! His mom & I do carpooling together. I love hearing their conversations in the van on the way home. They are so funny!

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. ~
