Advanced Education Clinics:  Prosthodontics

Description of Care
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who is skilled in the replacement of missing teeth and the restoration of natural teeth. Prosthodontists are trained to treat complicated mouth problems, optimal esthetic demands, and facial deformities. Common procedures performed by prosthodontists include complete dentures, partial dentures, fixed bridges, crowns, implants, veneers, and more.

Become a Patient
Patients are screened by referral from a dentist and are selected for treatment according to the needs of the program. Not all patients will be accepted for treatment.

Patients who are accepted into the LSUHSC Prosthodontics Clinic will be treated by one of our residents. Residents in our program have completed four years of dental training and have been awarded their dental degree. They have opted to return for three additional years of training to increase their skills in diagnosing and treating whole-mouth restorations under faculty supervision.

Dentists may fax referrals to 504-941-8284. Patients may make appointments by calling 504-941-8184.

Payment for prosthodontic treatment in the advanced education clinic is required in full prior to initiation of treatment.

Treatment in other departments at the LSUHSC School of Dentistry will require additional fees.
