Two of Oxnard’s Best Dentists Promote Prosthodontics Awareness Week
Oxnard, CA (PRWEB) April 08, 2014 -- Dr. Saj Jivraj and Dr. Mamaly Reshad of the Anacapa Dental Art Institute in Oxnard and Woodland Hills, Calif., will be participating in the second National Prosthodontics Awareness Week, sponsored by the American College of Prosthodontists, April 6-12.
The American Dental Association recognizes prosthodontists as dental specialists with two to three years of additional training after dental school in the prevention and treatment of tooth loss.
Tooth loss happens from decay, gum disease, traumatic injury, cancer or wear. Losing teeth places stress on the mouth’s structures and shape, causing the bone to shrink and possibly changing a person’s facial appearance.
“Many adults who do not replace their missing teeth suffer poor self-esteem, premature aging, poor diet, loss of function and social embarrassment,” Dr. Jivraj said. “By using dental implants, fixed bridgework, removable partial dentures and complete dentures, a prosthodontists’ expertise can change a smile and a life.”
If patients are missing one or more teeth; are interested in dental implants; wear dentures or removable partial dentures; and/or want to improve the esthetics of their smile, they should ask their dentist about a referral to a prosthodontist.
These “smile makers” have a highly skilled understanding of the dynamics of a smile, the preservation of a healthy mouth and the creation of tooth replacements. Prosthodontists also maintain a strong commitment to the dental health care needs of older patients, individuals with congenital anomalies, and those who have been affected by oral cancer.
Who needs a prosthodontist? You do if:
● You are missing one or more teeth.
● Your teeth have extensive wear, fracture or tooth breakdown
● You are interested in dental implants.
● You wear dentures or removable partial dentures or have fixed bridges.
● You want to improve the esthetics of your smile.
● You have jaw pain (TMD) or bite problems.
“Today, when the desire for a more natural-looking smile is greater than ever, there are several exciting new options you can choose. It is now possible to restore broken, decayed, worn and discolored teeth to their natural beauty and strength,” Dr. Reshad said. “You can enhance the beauty of your smile by replacing stained, chipped, missing or worn teeth by a variety of methods including whitening, veneers, crowns/caps or even implant-supported teeth.”
A prosthodontist often works with a team of dental professionals to create a comprehensive treatment plan for patients. Prosthodontists are dedicated to the highest standards of care in the restoration and replacement of teeth including bridges, crowns/caps, teeth whitening methods and veneers.
