The Benefits of Prosthodontics
When you choose a board-certified prosthodontist to craft your restorations, you can experience:
Restored Function
Patients with missing or damaged teeth often struggle with chewing and speaking properly. Prosthodontics can restore the health and function of your smile so you can eat the foods you love and speak with confidence.
Restored Appearance
A beautiful smile can give you the confidence you need. Dr. Murphy's artistic approach allows him to craft gorgeous restorations that look and feel like natural teeth. Patients who undergo prosthodontic treatment by Dr. Murphy can experience an exciting boost in self-esteem.
Restored Health
Damaged or missing teeth can impact your oral health. Even a single missing tooth can cause jawbone deterioration. Prosthodontic treatment can restore your ability to chew and the balance of your bite. Implants can stop the bone atrophy that follows tooth loss.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prosthodontics
Q. Why choose a prosthodontist over a dentist?
A. Prosthodontists have additional education and training focused on repairing and replacing damaged or missing teeth. This extensive training allows Dr. Murphy to treat simple restorative issues as well as complex issues other professionals often won't.
Q. How long will my restoration last?
A. With proper care and maintenance, your dental crown, bridge, denture, or veneer can last up to 15 years or more. However, they will wear over time and need to be replaced. You can keep your smile healthy by practicing proper oral hygiene and avoiding using your teeth to bite your nails or open packages.
Q. Will people be able to tell I have a restoration?
A. Dr. Murphy is passionate about the aesthetic aspect of dentistry. His skills as an artist and prosthodontist ensure a functional and beautiful smile. He takes great care to craft natural-looking restorations that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
