A specialist area of dentistry called prosthodontics creates dental prosthetics (artificial teeth) to replace

lost or damaged teeth. The words "prostho" and "dontist," which both signify teeth, are the roots of the
term prosthodontics.

A dental expert known as a prosthodontist receives extensive training in the creation of crowns, bridges,
dentures, and other restorative procedures. TMJ issues are also frequently treated by them.
