Dr. Robert R. Hawley, DDS, FACP is a trained prosthodontist. If you’re wondering what a prosthodontist is, it’s a board-certified dentist who is trained to handle teeth restoration and tooth replacement work using prosthetically driven solutions and advanced technology. Prosthodontists are sometimes referred to as the “architects of dentistry.” You may better recognize prosthodontics as prosthetic dentistry. This American Dental Association-recognized specialty is the diagnosis and treatment of patients with dental issues that call for the replacement of missing teeth or a broken tooth, including dental implants, full and partial dentures, tooth veneers, and more. Prosthodontists like Dr. Hawley understand all the components of a perfect smile, as well as how to preserve a healthy mouth and create replacement teeth.
