No matter how well you care for your smile by brushing, flossing, and visiting your dentist regularly, there may come a time that you need specialized care to get your oral health back on track after injury or tooth loss.

Keep reading to learn about how he can help rescue your smile with expert prosthodontic care!
A prosthodontist is a general dentist who has undergone two to three years of additional training beyond dental school in the reconstruction of teeth. The American Dental Association (ADA) recognizes prosthodontics as one of 9 specialties in dental care. Every prosthodontist is also a dentist, but not every dentist is also a prosthodontist. In fact, there are only about 3,500 practicing prosthodontists in the US, according to the ADA. Dr. Binns is one of the few!
A prosthodontist like Dr. Binns at our office specializes in reconstructing the form and function of smiles that have been affected by missing teeth or tooth loss. Teeth may be missing at birth due to a congenital disease, or injury could have caused some to be lost. Poor oral hygiene may also cause tooth loss in older age. Whatever the reason for tooth loss, a prosthodontist is prepared with state-of-the-art tools and the most advanced treatments for completing smiles and getting oral health back on track after tooth loss.
If you are interested in visiting a prosthodontist for specialized restorative care, you want to make sure that you are choosing the very best professional around. We are pleased Dr. Binns has joined our team. He graduated with the highest honors from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale and then continued to complete a Advanced Prosthodontics Residency at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
At Pelican Landing Dental, we are pleased to have added a highly qualified prosthodontist to our professional team. If you need expert reconstructive dental care, don’t hesitate to get in touch with a specialist. You are invited to request an appointment at our office today!
