What is a Prosthodontist?

A Prosthodontist is a board-registered specialist who is skilled in the replacement of missing teeth (and associated tissues) and the restoration of natural teeth.

To become a board-registered specialist prosthodontist in Australia, after graduating as a qualified dentist, they must then undertake further full-time training in a University master’s degree programme. The programme takes a minimum of three years and involves further study in all areas of dentistry.

A dental veneer is a facing that is bonded directly onto a tooth and is typically fabricated out of dental porcelain. Dental porcelain is very similar to tooth enamel and reflects light differently, it can also be produced in much thiner sections while maintaining strength.
