What is a Prosthodontist?
Prosthodontists specialise in treating and handling dentofacial problems.
A prosthodontist is a dentist who has completed a five year degree in general dentistry plus at least three additional years of training and education in a postgraduate Prosthodontics program.

A prosthodontist is highly trained in aesthetics, dental implants, crowns, bridges, dentures and much more. They strive to execute treatment to the highest standards possible.
What to Expect
What can I expect during a visit with my Specialist Prosthodontist?
Dr. Moorthy describes his approach to dentistry as conscientious and caring whilst paying a high attention to detail. Patients will go through a detailed consultative process at the outset of treatment to create a pathway to their ideal outcome. Dr. Moorthy works closely with a range or inhouse specialists to optimise clinical success. Following the detailed understanding of a patients goals, current condition, budget and timeframe, Dr. Moorthy will develop a detailed treatment plan and review with each patient before commencing their treatment.
His areas of particular interest are the replacement of missing teeth, the management of tooth wear, the management of failing dentures and the treatment of complex occlusal (bite) problems.
