Prosthodontics

Prosthodontics is one of nine dental specialties that are accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association (ADA). The dental specialty of prosthodontics focuses on the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance and health of patients with missing or deficient teeth. What is a Prosthodontist (Pros-thoh-don-tist)? A Prosthodontist is a dentist who formally specialized in the restoration and replacement of missing or deficient teeth. Three additional years of advanced training in restorative dentistry, after dental school, equipped prosthodontists with in-depth knowledge of treatment solutions that focus on the creation of healthy, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smiles. A prosthodontist collaborates with general dentists, dental specialists, and other health care providers to develop treatment options that address your concerns and are tailored to you. With aging and the loss of teeth, your smile may not be what it once was and your ability to express yourself may be compromised. Dr. Karona Tum’s exceptional attention to detail, compassionate nature and expertise in prosthodontics enable her to help patients achieve their best smiles, thus enhance their confidence and quality of life.
