About Prosthodontist
A Prosthodontist Specialist is a Commonwealth Government accredited & dental specialist, trained and qualified to perform reconstructive, aesthetic and implant dentistry. Many like to think of Prosthodontists as the “architect” of a dental treatment plan. They regularly lead teams of general dentists, specialists, and other health professionals to develop solutions for your dental needs.
Prosthodontist Specialist are trained to manage the most complex of dental restorative cases. From patients requiring rehabilitation after a traumatic injury to creating new smiles for those born with genetic facial deficits, prosthodontists have the special skills needed to restore smiles to the best they can be.
In Australia, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) states that the “Specialist Prosthodontist” title can only be used by those accredited to practice in the recognised Speciality of Prosthodontics.”
A prosthodontist specialises in reconstructive dentistry, using prosthetic teeth to restore both tooth functionality and the aesthetics. I work to restore natural teeth where possible, as conserving your own teeth is not only better for your health, but will be better for your pocket.
Our Specialist Areas
Prosthodontists are best used when you require missing teeth and connected tissue to be replaced and want it done by a board-registered specialist, all in one place.
As a leading prosthodontist specialist in Sydney, I can help you with many issues you may have, but here are a few common areas:
- Dental implants
- Servicing or reconstructing a tooth implant
- Temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscle disorders
- To dampen teeth and gum hypersensitivity
- Dento-facial trauma and rehabilitation after corrective jaw surgery
- Correcting congenital and developmental defects of the teeth and jaws
This is not to say that general dentists cannot assist in some of these areas, however, depending on the complexity of your case you may want to see me for many of the same reasons you see any specialist dentist– I have specialist dentist knowledge and skill that goes beyond a general practitioner who has to have a much broader interest of practice.

Dental Surgery With Best prosthodontist in Sydney
As a specialist prosthodontist I offer some fundamental differences from general dentists in Sydney. Firstly, my education is far more extensive, with years of extra training in my area of specialised choice and I continue to extend my knowledge and skills in this specialised area.
You can also feel secure in knowing that as a prosthodontist specialist , I have seen many cases with your particular challenge, whilst the generalist may not have had such extensive experience with your particular problem.
The second advantage is that I will have access to all the necessary equipment. With every patient requiring something different, it is difficult for a general dentist to own and operate all the different equipment needed to treat your case.
