| Prosthodontic Analysis |
Modern prosthodontics has been associated with a number of different concepts in dentistry.
For some patients, a prosthodontist is the specialist who is involved with the creation of custom designed and fabricated dental crowns.
For other patients, they associate these specialists with developing treatments that involve removeable or non removable prosthetic appliances that are popularly referred to as denture products.
Basic Cosmetic Dentistry
Patients seeking routine cosmetic or restorative dental treatments that might include fillings, bonding, crown placements or veneers such as those discussed at Hampton Dental Associates rarely have the need to specifically seek the advanced skills of a prosthodontist.

Bone Loss - Severe Gum Recession Shifting Loose Teeth |
Implant Dentistry
Dental implants are the preferred treatment for tooth loss. They are also the preferred method for anchoring dentures and partial dentures to avoid further bone loss from movement of these prostheses.
These options as well as fixed bridges on implants can be seen on our Wisconsin Reconstructive Implant Dentistry website.
Prosthodontic Reconstruction: Going Beyond What is Normal
Rehabilitative dentistry that typically involves and requires prosthodontic reconstruction is the range of treatments, procedures and advanced dental products that are specifically formulated for patients who are no longer the "average patient or candidate."
Patients who have been told they have no options due to bone loss, severe decay, trauma or jawbone disparity issues will require advanced prosthodontic dental options.
These advanced options will provide solutions to significant bone loss, soft tissue (gum) loss or bite occlusion problems.
Uncommon becomes Common
Changes in dentistry, societal changes, economic changes, health insurance benefits, employment cycles have tremendously impacted everyone's oral health and have influenced how we make choices in maintaining that health.

| Malocclusion - Gum Disease Flaring |
Dentures, for example, while a popular and effective means of affordable tooth replacement for millions of Americans has now created a higher incidence of serious bone loss due (almost solely) to everyone living healthier and longer lives. Reports of 75+year old denture patients needing some kind of bone replacement or augmentation are now "normal."
A complete replacement of an entire mouth of crowns that at one time didn't need to be anticipated... now requires consideration for some patients.
Large families, financing the upbringing and education of our children and the timing of health benefit coverage has changed how today's young adults, parents and now, baby boomers, are getting the dental treatments they have delayed.

| Implant Replacements |
Tissue disease, too many "economical extractions", delayed orthodontics, super erupted teeth, broken dentures, partials, bridgework and even bad dental crowns are causing dental problems that are now preventing patients from being able to get "replacement dentistry."
Making the Impossible more Possible
Our reconstructive prosthodontic services focus entirely on replacing, rebuilding or augmenting what has been lost or compromised. Hampton Dental removes the barriers that prevent patients from getting the treatment they want. Dr. Richard Winter and Dr. Bruce Winter have access to procedures and products that can achieve what many patients are being told can't be achieved.
CTscans, 3D imaging, autogenous bone harvesting, autogenous soft tissue harvesting, advances in Guided Tissue Regeneration, innovative combinations of zirconia and titanium, hybrid implant devices, cantilevered bridgework and designer grade denture prosthetics, bridgwork and immediate dentures now provide treatment options that the average restorative dental practice does not have access to.
Questions?
Patients from Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana and other areas of the Midwest are encouraged to contact Dr. Richard directly with our on-line Ask The Dentist form... to get more information about what is possible with varying degrees of reconstructive dentistry.
