What Is a Prosthodontist Hartford CT
Description
Dr. Avinash S. Bidra returns to Great Day Connecticut to answer a question most patients have never had explained: what is a prosthodontist, and when do you need one? His short version is that prosthodontists are the orthopedic doctors of the mouth, the dental specialists who replace missing teeth and restore damaged ones. That covers veneers, crowns, complex bridges, bite correction, and full-mouth reconstruction, all built on three additional years of specialty training. He also explains why patients with failing teeth no longer have to accept dentures. Titanium posts support fixed, permanent teeth, and patients leave in a single day. Procedures that took eight to nine months when he trained 20 years ago now happen in one visit. Dr. Bidra is a board-certified prosthodontist and Director of the Prosthodontics Residency Program at the UConn School of Dental Medicine. Originally aired on Great Day Connecticut, WFSB Channel 3, September 18, 2026. Includes paid promotion.
