Prosthodontics in Edison, NJ | Dr. Yage Wu, DDS

What Is Prosthodontics?

Prosthodontics is the dental specialty that focuses on the design, fabrication and fitting of artificial replacements for missing teeth and other parts of the mouth. The goal is to help patients who have lost permanent teeth to decay, gum disease or injury regain comfort, function and a natural-looking dentition. Whether you need complete dentures, partial dentures, or specialized prosthetic solutions, prosthodontic dental care at our Edison, NJ, practice can offer solutions that are comfortable, effective and affordable.

Replacing missing teeth is also an important part of protecting your long-term oral health, because the teeth you still have can shift into open spaces over time.
