What Is Prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is a dental specialty focused on the diagnosis, restoration, and replacement of missing or damaged teeth. This includes procedures like crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Prosthodontists receive additional training beyond dental school to handle complex dental and facial matters that involve restoring the natural look and function of teeth.

At Cameo Dental Specialists, our prosthodontic treatments are rooted in a patient-centered approach — restorations are custom-tailored to meet your functional needs and aesthetic goals.

Dental Implants: The Gold Standard in Tooth Replacement

Dental implants are the most natural and durable solution for missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, the implant is restored with a lifelike crown or prosthesis.

We offer two types of dental implant solutions through our prosthodontics department:

• Individual Dental Implants: This is ideal for patients missing one or a few teeth. Each implant supports a single crown, providing a permanent, stable, and natural-looking replacement. Individual dental implants function like real teeth, helping you eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
• All-on-4 Dental Implants: For patients missing most or all of their teeth in a single arch, All-on-4 dental implants offer a full-arch solution supported by just four strategically placed implants. This method avoids the need for a separate implant for each missing tooth and often eliminates the need for bone grafting.

If you are seeking implants La Grange patients trust, many choose All-on-4 for its ability to restore an entire smile in less time and with fewer surgeries.

What to Expect From the Prosthodontic Process

1. Consultation and Evaluation: We begin with a comprehensive exam, digital imaging, and a full discussion of your goals. Our specialists will determine whether you’re a candidate for implants, dentures, or another prosthodontic solution.
2. Treatment Planning: We’ll create a customized treatment plan based on your oral health, bone structure, and lifestyle. For implant candidates, we’ll determine whether individual or All-on-4 implants are most appropriate.
3. Surgical and Restorative Procedures: Implant placement is performed with precision by our skilled surgical team. Once healed, our prosthodontist fabricates and places your permanent restorations using the latest techniques for a natural appearance.
4. Follow-Up and Maintenance: After your restoration is complete, we’ll provide care instructions and schedule follow-ups to ensure long-term success. Maintaining good oral hygiene and routine check-ups are essential for preserving your new smile.

Prosthodontics FAQ

Q: Is prosthodontics only for people missing all their teeth?

A: No. Prosthodontics covers a range of treatments for anyone with damaged, decayed, or missing teeth — whether it’s one tooth or a full set.

Q: How long do dental implants last?

A: With proper care, dental implants can last decades or even a lifetime. They are the most durable tooth replacement option available.

Q: Are All-on-4 dental implants removable?

A: No. All-on-4 implants are a fixed solution, meaning your full arch prosthesis is securely attached and does not need to be removed like traditional dentures.

Q: Am I a candidate for implants if I’ve had bone loss?

A: Possibly. All-on-4 implants are designed to work even for patients with reduced bone density. Our specialists will evaluate your case to determine your options.

Q: Does prosthodontic treatment hurt?

A: Patient comfort is a top priority. Procedures are performed under local anesthesia or sedation when needed, and most patients report minimal discomfort afterward.
