They will explain your treatment options, often presenting a comprehensive plan with phased steps. Complex cases may require coordination with an oral surgeon (for bone grafts or implant placement), an orthodontist (for tooth alignment), or a periodontist (for gum treatment). Treatment timelines range from a few weeks for a single crown to 12 to 18 months for full-mouth rehabilitation with implants.
See a prosthodontist when you need complex dental restoration that goes beyond what a general dentist typically handles. This includes full-mouth reconstruction after years of decay or trauma, implant-supported dentures, dental implant placement and restoration, replacement of many missing teeth, cosmetic rehabilitation with veneers or crowns, jaw reconstruction after cancer surgery, and congenital conditions like missing teeth (hypodontia) or cleft palate. If your general dentist refers you, it is usually because the case involves multiple types of restoration or unusual anatomy.
