What Is a Prosthodontist?

A prosthodontist is a dentist who has undergone an additional three years of advanced post-graduate prosthodontic training beyond dental school. This training program must be accredited by the American Dental Association. This coursework focuses on developing a skill-set that enables a prosthodontist to design, manufacture, and place custom dental restorations and prosthetics to restore and rebuild healthy, functional, beautiful smiles. A prosthodontist is frequently called upon to replace missing teeth, rebuild damaged tooth structure, create a functional bite, and improve smile esthetics. Prosthodontists typically offer a broad range of reconstructive, restorative, general, and cosmetic dentistry options, including dental implant surgery, dental bone grafting, periodontal treatments, and root canals, as well as the design, fabrication, and placement of dental implant prosthetics, dentures, crowns, bridges, and porcelain veneers.

Why Should I Choose a Board-Certified Prosthodontist?

A board-certified prosthodontist has both completed an ADA-accredited post-graduate prosthodontics program and passed a rigorous series of exams given by the American Board of Prosthodontics (ABP). Board certification in prosthodontics is a strenuous process and not all prosthodontists choose to take or pass the exams to become board-certified. Those who become board certified must pass the ABP’s four-part exam and the process is designed to identify those candidates who demonstrate the specialized knowledge, skills, and attributes necessary for this prestigious designation. Diplomates of the American Board of Prosthodontics are also identified as individuals who are dedicated to ongoing learning, upholding the highest ethical standards, providing quality patient care, and furthering the advancement of prosthodontics. To maintain board-certification a prosthodontist must recertify every eight years.

Choosing a board-certified prosthodontist, like Dr. Dan Schweitzer, can assure you that you’ve picked a practitioner who has met the highest professional standards in the field. Selecting Dr. Schweitzer for your care can offer several important advantages:

Q & A with Dr. Dan

Q: What drew you to the field of prosthodontics?

A: Prosthodontics is our family business—Schweitzer & Schweitzer was established in 1918 and I was drawn to the profession from a young age. I am most interested in the problem solving and biomechanical aspects involved in periodontics. I also find the social aspects of my job to be very interesting and satisfying as well.

Q: What is your favorite procedure to perform and why?

A: Denture making is probably my favorite because it is the most artistic. Implant placement is very satisfying as well because it is the most “biological” tooth replacement option.

Q: Do new advancements in treatment and/or technology excite you?

A: Yes, at Schweitzer & Schweitzer we utilize technology to treat patients more effectively and economically. This is the ultimate goal of a scientific profession.

Q: What is one thing you’d like patients to know about you?

A: I’m very friendly and passionate about my work.

Q: How do you work to provide patients at your practice with a great experience?

A: I spend just as much time making a connection with each patient as I do working on their teeth.
