Overview
Prosthodontics addresses the restoration and replacement of teeth to improve both the function and aesthetics of the mouth. At Lisburn University, we explore the latest techniques and materials used to create prosthetic solutions for a variety of dental conditions, such as missing teeth, jaw disorders, and cosmetic imperfections.
In the classroom, your professor might present a case study of a complex prosthodontic procedure. You and your classmates analyze, critique, and discuss the treatment options from different perspectives, such as patient needs, material selection, and potential outcomes. Then, you’ll design a treatment plan for the patient using your newly acquired knowledge and skills.
