“Your smile is more than just aesthetics—it’s function, confidence, and health.”
If you’re dealing with missing teeth, worn-down enamel, or ill-fitting dentures, you’re not alone. Over 6% of Canadians are completely edentulous (without teeth), and many more struggle with complex dental issues. But here’s the good news—prosthodontists are specialists trained to restore and rebuild smiles with precision and expertise.
At Peak Prosthodontics, we serve patients in Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and across Southern Alberta who need expert solutions for missing or damaged teeth. Whether you’re considering dental implants, full-mouth reconstruction, or high-quality dentures, a prosthodontist is the specialist you want on your side. Let’s break down exactly what we do and when you should see one.
What is a Prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist focused on the restoration and replacement of teeth. Think of us as architects for your smile. After completing dental school, prosthodontists undergo three additional years of advanced training to master complex dental restorations.
We use state-of-the-art materials and techniques to restore function and aesthetics to your teeth. Our expertise includes:
- Dental Implants – Permanent solutions for missing teeth, offering stability and a natural look.
- Crowns & Bridges – Restoring damaged teeth and replacing missing ones with long-lasting results.
- Full-Mouth Rehabilitation – For patients with significant wear, trauma, or congenital conditions.
- Dentures & Partial Dentures – Custom-fitted solutions for better comfort and function.
- TMJ & Bite Rehabilitation – Treating jaw pain and improving overall bite alignment.
- Cosmetic Solutions – Enhancing smiles with veneers, teeth whitening, and other aesthetic treatments.
When Should You See a Prosthodontist?
If you’re facing any of the following issues, booking a consultation with a prosthodontist could be the best step forward:
- You have missing teeth – Whether it’s a single tooth or multiple, a prosthodontist can provide long-term, natural-looking replacements.
- Your dentures don’t fit properly – Loose or uncomfortable dentures can affect your speech, chewing, and confidence.
- Your teeth are severely worn down – Grinding, acid erosion, or aging can lead to functional problems and jaw pain.
- You need a complex dental restoration – If your case goes beyond basic fillings and cleanings, you’ll benefit from specialized care.
- You’ve had trauma or surgery affecting your teeth and jaw – We work with patients who need advanced restorative care after accidents or medical procedures.
Why Choose a Prosthodontist Over a General Dentist?
While general dentists handle routine care, prosthodontists specialize in advanced restorative treatments. We focus on precision, longevity, and aesthetics, ensuring your dental work not only looks great but functions optimally for years to come.
At Peak Prosthodontics, we work closely with dentists across Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, and surrounding areas, providing expert care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. If you’re considering implants or other restorative treatments, we’re here to help.
