Why Choose a Prosthodontist Instead of a Traditional Dentist?
In addition to achieving a bachelor's degree and completing dental school, prosthodontists must complete three additional years of residency training and education through an ADA-accredited prosthodontic graduate program. With this training, a prosthodontist can:
- Create custom restorations
- Place dental implants
- Correct TMJ disorders
- Correct sleep and snoring problems
Though a traditional dentist may have some training in prosthodontics and provide dentistry solutions like crowns and dentures, a prosthodontist is extensively trained in this area and can handle complex cases. Your dentist may even refer you to our Southlake, TX, prosthodontist for care.

The Dangers of Damaged and Missing Teeth
Damaged Teeth
Not only can chips and cracks affect the appearance of your smile and cause sensitivity, but they can also leave the interior of your tooth exposed, causing cavities and infections. Our Southlake, TX, office can provide you with restorations like dental crowns to protect the structure of affected teeth.
Missing Teeth
When a tooth falls out, the jawbone doesn't receive the stimulation it needs in that area, so the bone tissue deteriorates. This can cause the surrounding teeth to shift out of place and even result in further tooth loss as the bone weakens. We can provide you with dental implants and restorations to improve dental function.
Treating Jaw Disorders
Not only can prosthodontists restore damaged and missing teeth, but they can also treat jaw disorders that can lead to widespread damage and the inability to open your mouth. The temporomandibular area is complex and involves muscles, joints, and ligaments. A trained prosthodontist understands how this complex area works and can provide you with comfortable and conservative treatment like an oral appliance.
Dr. Fuqua also provides treatment for sleep and snoring disorders, problems that can also be corrected with oral appliances.
FAQ About Prosthodontics in Southlake, TX
What is prosthodontics?
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty that involves the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and maintenance of teeth and prosthetic teeth. Patients who benefit from prosthodontics often include those who have suffered a face or mouth injury, have age-related tooth loss, or have clinical conditions that result in maxillofacial deficiencies.
How long will my restoration last?
With proper care and maintenance, your restoration can last for 15 years or more. However, please keep in mind that the porcelain will wear over time and will eventually need to be replaced. Practicing proper oral hygiene and avoiding using your teeth as a tool will help keep your crown, bridge, veneer, or denture beautiful for years to come.
How do I care for a restoration?
This will depend on your type of restoration. Veneers and implant-supported restorations can be treated just like your natural teeth: Brush with a soft-bristle toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste at least twice a day for two minutes. Don't forget to floss. For removable restorations like traditional dentures, you will remove them to soak. Don't forget to brush your gums and tongue.
Can't I just see my dentist for prosthodontic care?
Some dentists perform prosthodontic treatments, but our Southlake prosthodontist has extensive and specialized training in the field. He has the skill and experience to give you the results you want the first time and to handle even the most complex cases.
I have dental anxiety or phobia. Can you still help?
Yes. We offer sedation dentistry options to help patients with anxiety, phobia, and sensitivity or for those who simply have a difficult time sitting for long periods. During your consultation, Dr. Fuqua can discuss your options to ensure your treatment is as comfortable as possible.
