Prosthodontics
Prosthodontics is also known as dental prosthetics or prosthetic dentistry. Prosthodontics is the dental specialty about the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance, and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes.
Prosthodontics is a subset of dentistry that focuses on constructing artificial appliances that are made for the restoration of oral functioning. This generally involves replacing any missing teeth. Providing suitable substitutes for the crown parts of teeth is something Dr. Suman enjoys helping people with.
