All dentists have the same basic goal: to help you take care of your teeth, mouth, and other aspects of your oral health. So most general dentists do a lot of prosthodontic service: they cap teeth, make bridges, and do some reconstructive work. There is a difference in emphasis, however. Because the Prosthodontist concentrates on one area of dentistry, he or she can usually handle more complex problems more easily or more efficiently than the general dentist.

Prosthodontics is the special branch of dentistry that is dedicated to enhancing both the function and the esthetics of a healthy, natural smile. Developments in modern advancements and state-of-the-art technology enable prosthodontists to repair and restore broken or decayed teeth to ensure a healthy, confident smile and function.

After completing dental school, a dentist such as Dr. Hong must take at least two to three more years of advanced study and clinical training in a prosthodontic program fully approved by the American Dental Association. Only after successful completion of such programs can dentists be recognized as a "Prosthodontist".

Prosthodontists are specialists who use their extensive knowledge and training to help patients restore and repair their teeth. Specialists, like Dr. Pérez, often handle complex dental cases and can help you have a beautiful, functional smile no matter what state your teeth are in. Prosthodontics is one of nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA).

BNF for Children contains information on the use of drugs for neonates, infants, children and adolescents. It is based on information derived from Medicines for Children and the BNF, combined with information from other sources such as hospital paediatric formularies, research studies and systematic reviews. Whereas the 'standard' BNF deals with the use of medicines for individuals of all ages, BNF for Children is able to focus specifically on the use of medicines in children.

Pediatric dentistry is a dental specialty that focuses on the oral health of young people. Following dental school, a pediatric dentist has two to three years additional specialty training in the unique needs of infants, children and adolescents, including those with special health needs.

Certainly! You are encouraged to continue your routine dental care with your regular dentist. But often patients come to the practice without a regular dentist and they are quite comfortable receiving cleanings by the hygienist in the office. These patients are typically seen every three to six months by the hygienist and Dr. Wolf.

An orthodontist has spent an extra 2½ years of training in the science of orthodontics. The orthodontist has chosen to limit his/her practice to orthodontics only. There is a more specialized form of treatment that takes place in the orthodontic office compared to the dental office; however, it is very important to have regular visits with your dentist while you are in braces. They help to ensure that your teeth stay extra clean while you are in orthodontic treatment.

You should visit your dentist at least every six months or more frequently to get your teeth cleaned. By seeing your dentist twice a year, your dentist can monitor your oral health and help you prevent any problems that may arise before they became uncomfortable or require more comprehensive or expensive treatment. The dentist may suggest more frequent visits, depending on the diagnosis.

While some dentists provide this courtesy to their long-term patients, others do not offer in-house financing. Instead, they rely on an outside patient financing program to make dentistry financially comfortable and convenient. Typically, you can begin treatment immediately with little or no money down and then make low monthly payments over time. The ADA exclusively endorses the CareCredit program.
