Prosthodontics Newbury

A large number of our patients are referred to The Briars for our prosthodontics Newbury service by our general dentist Newbury colleagues but it is not necessary for a patient to have a referral from a dentist to become a patient.

Prosthodontists are dental specialists who undertake many different and complex technical procedures related to the replacement and restoration of teeth. They have advanced diagnostic and analytical capabilities which ensure they identify and solve the cause of dental problems before restoring a mouth to full function and aesthetics. The experience and restorative technical skills of our prosthodontist Berkshire specialists allow them to successfully co-ordinate with the referring dentist, and if necessary other specialists and then carry out treatment to deliver outcomes which best meet their patients’ needs.

It is sometimes hard to know who's who in dentistry and as such people ask the difference between a Prosthodontist and a Cosmetic Dentist. In brief the difference lies in the training and qualification they undertake and their ability to recognise and deal with complex dental problems. Prosthodontists are general dentists who turn to an internationally recognised and formally structured university program to give them the extra skill and knowledge required to plan and manage dental problems. They are qualified only after several years of strictly monitored full time training and practice and, as a consequence, have a wide and extensive range of techniques and a comprehensive view of the teeth as part of the human body. Dentists who call themselves cosmetic dentists may have undertaken a number of separate 1 or 2 day, or perhaps longer, courses in cosmetic reconstruction. They require no formal qualification beyond being a dentist, nor need to have their relevant knowledge tested in any examination or pass any professional critical review process.
