Here’s something most patients don’t know: “cosmetic dentist” isn’t a recognized dental specialty. Any dentist can call themselves a cosmetic dentist. A prosthodontist, on the other hand, is a recognized specialist with verified advanced training.
Prosthodontists complete three additional years of residency training in the restoration and replacement of teeth, including the aesthetic side. They understand not just how to make teeth look great, but how to make that look last by designing restorations that function properly and hold up to daily use.
When you choose a prosthodontist for cosmetic work, you’re choosing a specialist whose training was focused on exactly what you need.
Dr. Jennifer Pan is a prosthodontist in Wilmington, NC with advanced training from UCSF. She brings art and science together to create smiles that look natural and make daily life better.
