Would You Ask a General Contractor to Design a Skyscraper?

Probably not. You would hire an Architect.

The same logic applies to your teeth. While a general dentist is excellent for check-ups and fillings, restoring a lost smile requires a higher level of planning and engineering.

At Olīva Dental, we often see patients who have had dental work done elsewhere that "doesn't feel right." Maybe the bite is off, the jaw hurts, or the new teeth just don't look natural.

This usually happens because the complex "architecture" of the mouth was overlooked. This is where a Prosthodontist—like Dr. Dhirender J—makes the difference.

1. What Exactly is a Prosthodontist?

Think of a Prosthodontist as the "Plastic Surgeon" and "Civil Engineer" of dentistry rolled into one.

After completing general dental school (BDS), a Prosthodontist completes 3 additional years of intense specialist training (MDS) focused entirely on one thing: Tooth Replacement & Restoration.

They are the masters of:

Implants: Not just placing the screw, but ensuring the tooth on top functions perfectly.
Esthetics: Designing smiles that match your face shape and personality.
Occlusion (The Bite): Ensuring your upper and lower teeth meet in perfect harmony to prevent jaw pain.

2. The "Good Enough" vs. The "Perfect Fit"

Many general dentists offer crowns and dentures. So, why see a specialist?

The Generalist Approach: Focuses on the single problem. "You have a missing tooth? Let's fill the gap."
The Prosthodontist Approach: Focuses on the whole system. "Why did you lose the tooth? Is your bite collapsing? If we place an implant here, will it survive the force of your chewing for the next 20 years?"

If you need a simple filling, a general dentist is perfect. But if you need Full Mouth Rehabilitation, All-on-4 Implants, or a Smile Makeover, you need a specialist.

4. Three Signs You Need a Prosthodontist

If any of these apply to you, you should skip the general clinic and see a specialist immediately:

You are missing multiple teeth: The more teeth you lose, the more your bite collapses. Rebuilding it requires complex engineering.
You have "worn down" teeth: If your teeth look short or flat from grinding, you need a Full Mouth Rehabilitation to restore your vertical face height.
Your dentures are loose: If you use messy adhesives to keep your teeth in, a Prosthodontist can switch you to precision-fit BPS dentures or Implant-supported options.
