Why TMC Training Sets Houston Prosthodontists Apart
When choosing a dental implant specialist in Houston, the quality of a dentist’s training can make all the difference. At Houston Prosthodontics, Dr. Stankewitz stands out as Memorial City’s only board-certified prosthodontist in private practice within 10 miles of our office at 915 Gessner Rd, Suite 515, Houston, TX 77024. Unlike many prosthodontists and self-proclaimed implant specialists in the area who received their undergraduate dental training abroad, Dr. Stankewitz completed both their undergraduate dental degree (DDS/DMD) and postgraduate prosthodontic residency at the world-renowned Texas Medical Center (TMC), ensuring unmatched expertise and a 96–98% success rate for dental implants.
The Prestige of Texas Medical Center Training
The Texas Medical Center, located in Houston, is the largest medical complex in the world, renowned for its cutting-edge research, state-of-the-art facilities, and rigorous dental education programs. Dr. Stankewitz’s journey began with his undergraduate dental education at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth), part of TMC. This comprehensive program provided a strong foundation in evidence-based dentistry, mastering skills in diagnosis, treatment planning, and clinical precision critical for advanced procedures like dental implants.
Building on this foundation, Dr. Stankewitz completed a postgraduate prosthodontic residency at the School of Postgraduate Dentistry at the University of Texas in the TMC, an American Board of Prosthodontics (ABP)-accredited program. This advanced training focused on complex restorations, implantology, and aesthetics, equipping Dr. Stankewitz to achieve 96–98% success rate for dental implants. Unlike dentists with non-ADA-recognized credentials, Dr. Stankewitz’s TMC education ensures a level of expertise that meets the highest national standards set by the American Dental Association (ADA).
Why Undergraduate and Postgraduate Training Matter
A high-quality undergraduate dental degree is the cornerstone of exceptional dental care. TMC’s curriculum, ranked among the top globally, emphasizes hands-on clinical experience, advanced technology, and evidence-based techniques. This foundation enabled Dr. Stankewitz to excel in his prosthodontic residency, where he mastered the art and science of crafting crowns, bridges, and implants with precision, achieving natural aesthetics and long-lasting results.
The Risks of Misleading Credentials
When researching implant specialists, you may encounter providers claiming titles like “board-certified implantologist”, however the American Dental Association recognizes only nine dental specialties, including prosthodontics, and does not endorse “implantology” as a specialty. At Houston Prosthodontics, we prioritize transparency: Is your implant specialist board certified?
Memorial City’s Only Board-Certified Prosthodontist in Private Practice
