Prosthodontics Breakdown
Q: What is a Board-Certified Prosthodontist?
A:“Prosthodontists are dentists with advanced specialty training in creating beautiful smiles, in both function and appearance. I completed 4 years of dental school, and like other dental specialists, I received 3 years of additional education and training leading to a specialty certificate. Upon completing my advanced training, I took a comprehensive examination to become Board-Certified. Nationally, only 30% of all prosthodontists become Board-Certified, and locally to my knowledge I’m the only Board-Certified prosthodontist in private practice in Miami to date.”
Q:Why might I be interested in your Prosthodontic services?
A: “If you’re interested in improving the appearance of your smile, improving the function of your teeth, or reversing years of neglect or disease then I’m the dentist for you. While any general dentist can call himself a cosmetic dentist, as a prosthodontist, I’m an expert in the replacement of missing and defective teeth. Common procedures include veneers, crowns, implants, dentures, full mouth rehabilitations, teeth whitening and TMJ therapy.”
Q: How do I find out more?
A: “I believe forging a partnership with every patient based on mutual trust and respect is essential to effective treatment. Every patient has a unique smile, set of requirements and expectations, and I believe that it is my job to listen carefully and consider these in order to develop a practicable and individualized treatment plan. The first step to a healthier and more beautiful smile is to call and schedule a complimentary consultation.”

Old Bird
The oldest human on record was Jeanne Calment of Arles, France, who died at the age of 122 years and 164 days. Jeanne rode her bicycle until the age of 100. We’re guessing that she wasn’t a smoker.
