WHAT IS PROSTHODONTICS?

Prosthodontists undergo three to four additional years of training beyond dental school, equipping them to provide advanced care for missing or defective teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics. Hodge & Lancaster Family Dental in Lafayette, IN, has everything you’ll be needing.

REASONS TO CONSULT A PROSTHODONTIST
