What Problems Are Commonly Treated by a Prosthodontist?

It might surprise you that many of the problems that can be resolved by a prosthodontist may not seem to be related to teeth at all. All the structures inside your teeth and the bones of your jaw are intricate and highly interconnected. A misalignment in your jaw can cause pain or illness in other areas in your upper body. An infection in a tooth or jaw bone can influence your health in many other areas.
  • Migraines or headaches
  • Jaw pain, soreness and tenderness
  • Difficulty opening or closing the jaw all the way
  • Face, neck, shoulder or back pain
  • Congested or clogged ears
  • Aches or pains that do not seem to be located in one specific tooth
  • Migraines or headaches
  • Jaw pain, soreness and tenderness
  • Difficulty opening or closing the jaw all the way
  • Face, neck, shoulder or back pain
  • Congested or clogged ears
  • Aches or pains that do not seem to be located in one specific tooth
In situations where pain exists, a prosthodontist can change a person’s life by correctly diagnosing and remedying a hidden situation in the mouth or jaw. Your best solution isn’t over-the-counter or prescription medications. The solution you deserve is one that improves your health and eliminates the problem forever. 

If you have suffered from any of the problems listed above and want to improve your cosmetic dentistry results, then careful diagnosis by Dr. Rauchwerger can open the door to a resolution, even when you have consulted many different kinds of medical practitioners before.

  • Do you avoid smiling or laughing when you are with friends? 
  • Have you noticed that you are socializing less with friends and family since your teeth became damaged? 
You can put all this discomfort behind you at last. Whether you need a full-mouth rehabilitation (also called “reconstruction”) or more limited treatment to give you a smile you love, Dr. Rauchwerger is ready to help. 

Resolving Problems with Prosthodontics

Prosthodontists have remarkable flexibility when helping you and your family achieve greater comfort and health. They can not only offer all the services you would see a general dentist for, such as fillings or preventative care, they can also provide solutions to mysterious situations that have been hard to resolve. Take difficulty chewing, for example, When prosthodontists address this issue, they might treat a problem with the temporomandibular joint (the joint where the lower jaw fits into the skull, located in front of the ear). Or they might determine that the patient is grinding their teeth at night and this is causing worn teeth and stress on the mouth and jaw structures. Then the correct solution might include a night guard to prevent further damage and repairing existing teeth with crowns. 

A prosthodontist might also determine that difficulty chewing is resulting from poorly fitting dentures. By relining the dentures or providing new ones, the correct cause can be remedied and the patient is now pain-free and comfortable chewing food. 

When there is injury to the temporomandibular joint, this injury can create stress on all the neighboring structures. The result can be migraines, recurrent headaches, pain in the face, neck, shoulders or back and of course, pain and soreness in the jaw itself. 

A prosthodontist is also expert in helping patients who have been injured or suffered from a problem since birth. Smile Designs is here to help patients who need extra care in restoring the appearance or functionality of their teeth. 

When a patient is pain-free at last, when he or she can eat whatever is desired, when the function and structure of the jaw and teeth are repaired, it can have a profound impact on one’s life, happiness and even appearance. The outward appearance of your face depends greatly on the support of bone, muscle and soft tissue. When everything is healthy and works well together, a more youthful appearance is also typical. It’s possible to smile, laugh, talk freely and simply feel like the very best version of yourself. We are here to help you with your dental care needs.

When your individual teeth are healthy and there are no infections in your teeth, gums or jaw bone, the health of your entire body benefits. It is very easy for infected material to pass into the blood stream from the teeth. A prosthodontist is expert in addressing infections of this type that might damage your teeth or your health.
