Prosthodontics is one of the 9 specialties recognized by the American Dental Association, Royal College of Dentists of Canada, and Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons.

A prosthodontist is a dentist who specializes in prosthodontics, the specialty of implant, esthetic and reconstructive dentistry. Prosthodontists specialize in the restoration of oral function by creating prostheses and restorations (i.e., complete dentures, crowns, implant retained/supported restorations). Cosmetic dentistry, implants and joint problems all fall under the field of prosthodontics.

The American College of Prosthodontists (ACP) ensures standards are maintained in the field. Becoming a prosthodontist requires an additional 3 years of specialty training after obtaining a dental degree. Training consists of rigorous preparation in head and neck anatomy, materials science, esthetics, and occlusion (bite). Due to this extensive training, prosthodontists are frequently called upon to treat complex cosmetic cases, full mouth reconstructions, TMJ related disorders, congenital disorders, and sleep apnea by planning and fabricating various prostheses.

Listed within this group are also an elite group of General Dentists who have dedicated their life to furthering their dental education. These dentists, although have not gone through a formal Prosthodontics Program within a University, but they have completed multiple one, two or three year programs in various Dental Institutions which would allow them the training to provide some of the more complicated dental treatments that are not within the scope of an average dentist. These dentists have gone through series of courses on Occlusion (bite disease, diagnosis and treatment), as well as a number of hands on (having the ability to take their own patients to the institutions while performing these complicated procedures on their own patients and learning from a number of other student doctors) programs.
