Prosthodontics is the dental specialty dedicated to the restoration (including replacement) of teeth and other structures for normal — and optimal — appearance, comfort and function. Prosthodontists receive extensive training in the complexities and subtleties of crowns, bridges, dental implants, congenital disorders, oral trauma cases, and full mouth restorations. Also, only prosthodontists are trained as cosmetic dentists as part of their dental training. For this reason, other dentists depend on prosthodontists for top-quality results for esthetic, restorative, and reconstructive cases, especially those that are complex or challenging.
As a maxillofacial prosthodontist, Dr. DiFazio has additional training and skill in handling defects, trauma and abnormalities of the mouth and face. These include replacing missing areas of bone or tissue and restoring oral function, from chewing and swallowing to speech.
