Major Dental Reconstruction

Major dental reconstruction implies restoring or rebuilding the entire dentition. This can be done with various prosthetic devices including Crowns, Bridges and dental implants. It is the most complex effort in dentistry and requires the efforts of a dentist highly trained in this area. The major portion of a prosthodontist's advanced education is in the field of Dental Reconstruction and he or she is considered an expert in this area. Below is an example of a major Dental Reconstruction Patient.
