Prosthodontists are the true leaders in cosmetic dentistry because they possess the only formal, specialized training in smile esthetics recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). While any general dentist can legally market themselves as a "cosmetic dentist," it is not an officially recognized medical specialty. Prosthodontists, by contrast, are the actual architects of smile transformations, blending structural engineering with advanced artistry.

The treatment planning for any implant-supported prosthetics (All-on-X, "snap-in" dentures, implant-supported dentures) is unique regarding the number of variables that may influence the therapy. They represent a complex restoratively-driven procedure, not just a surgical one. A surgical prosthodontist, like Dr. Matteson, is the only specialist trained in all aspects of implant dentistry, including smile design, occlusion management, surgical implant placement, and fabricating prostheses to sustain the biomechanical integrity that then blend seamlessly leading to a beautiful, confident smile.

We are excited to be celebrating the 2026 National Prosthodontics Awareness Week! Prosthodontics is the dental specialty that combines art and science to restore teeth, function, and confidence. Prosthodontics is a specialty pursued by fewer than 2% of dentists, with Dr. Matteson being one of only 2 board-certified prosthodontic specialists in Idaho. Follow along all week as we explore different areas of prosthodontics and the role we play in maintaining and promoting oral health.
