What is a Prosthodontist?
Creating your unique smile by world class prosthodontists
A prosthodontist is a specialist dentist with advanced training in restoring oral health and aesthetics. They diagnose and perform complex procedures to replace or repair missing teeth and oral structures, improving both function and appearance. Prosthodontists complete an additional 3 to 4 years of education, learning to design and create dental prostheses from crowns and bridges to implants. They work closely with other specialists to develop full treatment plans — think of them as the architects of your smile.
Dr. Reshad is a prosthodontist, which means that he has received three additional years of schooling and training at an American Dental Association (ADA) accredited institution after dental school. He is a specialist in the art and treatment of damaged and missing teeth. The additional training required of a prosthodontist focuses on mastering the procedures and techniques necessary to use dental prostheses to help patients get the smile they deserve.
Simply put, prosthodontists are experts in mouth rehabilitation. Likened to an architect or a quarterback, a prosthodontist is the leader of a team that knows how to make your smile perfect and rehabilitate your mouth to a healthy condition.
Fewer than 2% of practicing dentists can call themselves prosthodontists. There are only approximately 750 trained, licensed, and practicing prosthodontists in the entire nation.

Every Smile Is Handcrafted
What separates a prosthodontist from every other dentist is not just clinical expertise — it is the ability to design and fabricate at the highest level. Dr. Reshad is a trained laboratory technician as well as a specialist, giving him a rare dual mastery over both the science and the art of smile design.
Every case is bespoke. Every restoration is individualized to the patient's facial structure, lip dynamics, and personal aesthetic. Most elements of design — from shade selection to porcelain layering — are created by Dr. Reshad personally. He is the architect, the technician, and the artist.
