What Is a Prosthodontist (and When Should You See One)?

By Deccan Dental · December 12, 2025 · 3 min read

Specialist-level training

After dental school, a prosthodontist completes three or more additional years of advanced training focused on the restoration and replacement of teeth — from single crowns to full-mouth reconstruction.

What they handle

Dental implants, crowns and bridges, dentures, complex cosmetic cases, and rebuilding worn or damaged smiles are all in a prosthodontist’s wheelhouse.

When to see one

For complex, cosmetic, or full-mouth work, a prosthodontist’s expertise makes a difference. Deccan Dental is led by prosthodontist Dr. Samir Nanjapa — meet the team.
