3 Reasons to Visit a Prosthodontist

reviewed by:
Michael L Bleeker, DMD
Scottsdale Center for Implant Dentistry
Board Certified Maxillofacial Prosthodontist

In our blog “Main Priorities of a Prosthodontist,” we focused in on the very focus of the prosthodontics specialization. Prosthodontists are often called the “architects of the smile” and are highly-trained specialists with a unique understanding of all the elements that go into a beautiful, functional, and natural-looking smile.

At Villa Canyon Prosthodontics--we offer a comprehensive list of treatments including traditional cosmetic dentistry as well as innovative cosmetic dental procedures. The prosthodontics specialization can address a wide array of oral health care concerns in comparison to a standard dentist. For this reason--we have put together 3 common motivations for why a patient would want or need to visit a prosthodontist.

Reason #1

Your teeth have become stained, discolored, chipped, broken, misaligned, or have unwanted spaces and gaps between them.

Dr. Bleeker at Villa Canyon Prosthodontics is the go-to Scottsdale prosthodontist for cosmetic dentistry. We listed out a number of cosmetic dental solutions for those looking to enhance their smiles. Some of the treatment options available are bridges, crowns, dental implant restorations, and more. After thoroughly evaluating your condition, Dr. Bleeker will come up with a treatment plan designed to restore optimal results using the least invasive procedures available.

Reason #2

Your teeth are in need of dental restoration.

Dental restoration often overlaps with cosmetic dentistry as it addresses both the aesthetics and function of teeth. Dental restoration can range anywhere from wanting to enhance your smile with porcelain veneers, replacing missing teeth, or restoring normal eating and chewing functions.

Reason #3

You have temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJ), severe snoring, sleep apnea, need reconstruction of the teeth following oral cancer treatments, or need reconstruction of the teeth due to trauma.

A prosthodontist typically works in concert with other dental health professionals to ensure the best possible restorative results are achieved. Scottsdale Prosthodontist Dr. Bleeker is a member of the craniofacial team at Barrows, St. Joseph’s Medical Center. He works with a variety of specialists in oral and maxillofacial surgery, otolaryngology, and plastic surgery to help restore the esthetics and function of damaged structures.

What our patients are saying

I have been a patient of Dr. Bleeker’s for many years, and it has always been a pleasure to be under his care. His professionalism is truly beyond the highest standard. He consistently demonstrates exceptional skill, integrity, and genuine concern for his patients. Several years ago, I had veneers placed, and they performed beautifully without any issues for many years. When one of the veneered teeth later came off, Dr. Bleeker recommended placing a full crown, which worked perfectly. About a week later, a second tooth veneer came loose. Rather than simply replacing it, he chose to place another full crown to ensure a stronger, longer-lasting result. What impressed me most was that both crowns were provided free of charge—far beyond what I ever expected. Dr. Bleeker truly went above and beyond to stand behind his work and ensure I was completely satisfied. I am incredibly grateful for his dedication, expertise, and commitment to excellence. I highly recommend Dr. Bleeker to anyone seeking outstanding dental care.

I am a general dentist in Phoenix and I needed Dr Bleeker’s help with a complex denture where my patient had to have his mandibular bone removed and replaced with a leg bone. I successfully help my patients with dentures in my office, but this particular case was beyond my skill level. Dr Bleeker has been exactly what this patient needed—knowledgeable, kind, easy to work with, and full of solutions. I will definitely refer other complex patients to Dr Bleeker.

I’ve been to quite a few dentists in my time. I have implants and crowns and hands down Dr. Bleeker and his fabulous assistant, Cheryl make it worthwhile to drive from the Biltmore area to North Scottsdale. I highly recommend this dental practice.

I met Dr Bleeker on a referral; I was able To get right away because of a cancellation. I love the easy manner Dr Bleeker has and how relaxed he is. His PA Cheryl is very professional, however, she will always make you smile. They have all the latest technology including lasers for healing and Yomi for robotic surgery implant placement.

This is the best place to go for any and all dental work! The staff and the doctor know what they’re doing. I can’t believe the difference in knowledge, experience and technology that they have. Just don’t go anywhere else you will regret it. That’s what happened to me…all of the time and money I wasted at these other dental offices ..I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Bleeker and his staff.
