An initial consultation lasts 60 to 90 minutes. The prosthodontist will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw, take X-rays and possibly a CBCT (3D) scan, and create digital or physical impressions. 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.
Crown: $800-1,500 · Single dental implant with crown: $3,000-6,000 · Full-arch implant denture: $15,000-30,000 per arch · Full set of dentures: $1,000-3,000
Prosthodontists design and create dental implant restorations, bridges, and dentures to replace missing teeth. They coordinate the functional and cosmetic aspects of complex tooth replacement cases.
Whether you need full dentures or partials, a prosthodontist ensures the fit is comfortable and the appearance is natural. They also handle adjustments and relines as your mouth changes over time.
Veneers are thin porcelain shells bonded to the front of teeth to correct chips, stains, and uneven shapes. Prosthodontists specialize in designing veneers that look natural and wear well.
When multiple teeth need crowns, implants, or other restorations, a prosthodontist creates a comprehensive plan that restores your bite, function, and appearance together.
Implant-supported bridges and dentures are anchored to dental implants for superior stability compared to traditional removable options. Prosthodontists design these restorations for optimal fit and longevity.
Dental insurance covers prosthodontic services at varying levels. Basic restorations (crowns, bridges) are typically covered at 50% to 80%. Implants have more limited coverage, with some plans excluding them or capping the benefit. Annual maximums on dental plans ($1,500 to $2,500) are quickly reached with prosthodontic work. Medical insurance may cover dental implants and reconstruction when related to an accident, cancer, or congenital condition. For large treatment plans, ask the prosthodontist to submit a pre-authorization to determine your exact coverage and out-of-pocket costs.
