Prosthodontist Treatment
Prosthodontist are the educated choice for complex dental treatment such as a full mouth rehabilitation. Years of formal advanced training beyond dental school provides prosthodontists with advanced procedures and techniques unique to the specialty which can shorten treatment time and provide you with a consistently higher level of care.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry is generally used to refer to any dental work that improves the appearance(though not necessarily the functionality) of teeth, gums and/or the bite. Many dentists refer to themselves as “cosmetic dentist” regardless of their specific education, specialty, training, and experience in this field. The only dental specialty recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA) that provides advanced postgraduate training in cosmetic dentistry is prosthodontics.
Dental Implants
Despite modern preventive dental care, according to epidemiological studies, it is estimated that 178 million Americans are missing at least one tooth and about 40 million Americans are missing all of their teeth. The main causes of tooth loss, tooth decay and gum disease have plagued man since the dawn of time. In the past, missing teeth could only be replaced with bridges or dentures, but now we have dental implants.
Dentures
If you have lost most or all of your teeth, wearing dentures can be a difficult experience. Worry about loose or painful dentures can be a drain on your patience and your health. Dental Implant supported dentures made by a specialist in Prosthodontics can change your life!
Dental Crowns
Decay or trauma can cause loss of tooth structure and can compromise function as well as esthetics. Extensive loss of tooth structure can best be replaced with a restoration that covers your entire tooth as in a crown. This “full coverage” restoration can strengthen your tooth and in the hands of an expert can provide a long lasting esthetic and functional result.
Smile Makeover
A beautiful smile is so important in personal and business relationships since it is one of the first things people notice when they meet you. If you have crooked, discolored or chipped front teeth, it can be a negative distraction to an otherwise beautiful appearance. If you want to be the best you can be consider a smile makeover from the world class prosthodontics practice of Dr. Mark Stankewitz. We are a unique patient centered practice in the Memorial City Memorial Hermann Medical Center.

CREDENTIALS MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontics
Board certification is a rigorous process that serves as a primary indicator of a prosthodontist’s competency to practice in a dental specialty. Maintenance of board certification also signifies that continuing dental education requirements are met and that the practicing prosthodontist is up to date on the latest advancements in the specialty. For all dentists who train in the United States, the National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards is the gold standard for dental specialty certification in the United States and has only 9 member boards – Dr. Stankewitz is certified by the American Board of Prosthodontics. The National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards has recognized only the American Board of Prosthodontics as identifying board-certified prosthodontists who practice advanced cosmetic, reconstructive, and implant dentistry. Is your prosthodontist board certified?
