While your general dentist provides excellent primary dental care, like checkups, cleanings, and basic fillings, a prosthodontist like Dr. Kostas is a specialist with extensive additional training. Prosthodontists focus specifically on diagnosing and treating complex dental issues related to missing or deficient teeth. They are the recognized experts in cosmetic restoration and tooth replacement using prosthetics like implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and dentures, often handling more challenging cases or full smile rehabilitations.

A dental implant is a replacement for your natural tooth root. It's typically a small, biocompatible titanium post that is gently placed into the jawbone where a tooth is missing. This post integrates with the bone, creating a strong, stable foundation. An implant isn't visible in the mouth; its crucial role is to securely support a replacement tooth (like a crown), a bridge, or even a full denture, while also helping to preserve jawbone health.
