What is the difference between orthodontics and prosthodontics?
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to straightening teeth. An orthodontist specializes in braces, retainers and clear aligners.Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on making dental prostheses. A prosthodontist specializes in making dentures, crowns, bridges and other custom-made oral appliances.
-
Is prosthodontics the same as dentures and implants?
No. Prosthodontics refers to the branch of dentistry itself. But dentures and implants are two common prosthodontic procedures. Keep in mind, though, both general dentists and prosthodontists may place implants and dentures, depending on their areas of focus.

Procedure Details
- What are some examples of prosthodontic treatments?
- Dental crowns
- Inlays and onlays
Many dental treatments are prosthodontic in nature. Your general dentist may offer many of these procedures. But they’ll likely refer you to a prosthodontist if your case is complex or if they need to coordinate treatment.
A dental crown — sometimes called a “cap” — is a restoration that covers a badly damaged tooth. You might need a crown if you have extensive decay or a cracked tooth, or if you’ve recently had a root canal.
If a tooth is too damaged for a filling but not damaged enough to warrant a crown, then you might need an inlay or onlay. These custom restorations fit into your tooth structure like tiny puzzle pieces.

- Dental bridges
- Dentures
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth in a row. This dental prosthetic consists of two crowns on either side with artificial teeth (pontics) in between them. Once placed, your natural teeth anchor the crowns, and the pontics fill the gap in your smile.
There are two main types of dentures: partial and full. Partial dentures replace several sporadically missing teeth. Full dentures replace a full arch of missing teeth. These removable appliances help restore the function and appearance of your smile.

The department also provides expert management for the entire range of Expert Doctors.
