A PROSTHODONTIST

 

Prosthodontists are dental specialist in the restoration and replacement of teeth.  After completing four years of undergraduate work and four years of dental school, prosthodontists receive three additional years of specialized training in an American Dental Association accredited graduate program.  Prosthodontics is one of nine specialties recognized by the ADA.

 

If you feel your problems are complex and your needs have not been met by conventional dentistry, our Prosthodontic specialty can offer unique solutions to address the cause and resolution of the dental damage.

 

Patients seeking the expertise of a Prosthodontist arrive with a variety of needs.  A need can arise as the result of the slow deterioration of the mouth which has ultimately reached a critical stage needing extensive and occasionally emergency care. Sometimes it happens in an instant due to facial trauma or an accident. Sometimes medical conditions such as diabetes, osteoporosis, a stroke or cancer can effect oral health and function. Dental challenges are common to those born with a cleft palate and temporary or permanent solutions are available to increase function and improve a smile. Also common is the person who has received conventional dental treatment only to find that is not performing as expected and needing replacement or advanced care.

 

The Warpeha Prosthodontic Clinic has a long-standing reputation for contemporary, creative, and cost-effective dental care. We tailor treatment plans to the needs and desires of patients wanting the very best available in practitioners and procedures. The Warpeha Prosthodontic Clinic is well known by the dentists of Minnesota as the referral-of-choice for the most complex dental problems.  Dr. Warpeha restores function with a sensitivity to a cosmetic appearance.  He can improve your smile.

 

Although thousands of patients have been successfully treated at our clinic,

successes are individual – one patient at a time.
