Who we are

Dr. Joseph and Dr. Leela Breitman are board-certified prosthodontists. A prosthodontist is a dentist who specializes in restoring and replacing damaged and missing teeth.

Prosthodontists offer their patients a wide range of options to replace missing teeth depending on each patient’s needs. Whether a patient is a candidate for complete dentures, a removable partial denture, or a fixed (stationary) bridge, prosthodontists are well educated to provide high-quality care.

Our Education and Training

A prosthodontist’s training includes in-depth study and experience in the relationship of teeth and jaws necessary for a proper bite. Prosthodontists spend an additional three years in training after dental school in American Dental Association approved residencies.

On Site Dental Laboratory Dedicated to the Finest Craftsmanship

Prosthodontists have an excellent understanding of dental laboratory procedures, and work closely with dental technicians to ensure that each custom-made prosthesis is attractive and comfortable for the patient. In many cases prosthodontists have laboratories right in their offices.

Since people are living longer and retaining more of their natural teeth, prosthodontists play a key role in helping patients maintain a healthy, attractive appearance. Prosthodontists are experts in gold restorations and bonding techniques, color matching, the use of veneers to reshape teeth and enhance their appearance, and the precise fabrication and placement of fixed prostheses such as crowns and bridges.

Latest InnovationsImplants and Digital Dentistry

Prosthodontists have been instrumental in fostering advances in dentistry, such as dental implants, over the last twenty-five years. As an alternative to conventional tooth-replacement techniques, dental implants are rapidly becoming the procedure of choice among patients who are missing all or some of their teeth.

As digital innovations have become available, prosthodontists are in the forefront, and are recognized as the specialists trained in digital imaging including X-Rays, Cone Beam Computer Tomography, virtual impressions/scanning, implant planning, and laboratory/prosthesis fabrication.

Prosthodontists work with other dental professionals as part of a team. They combine the hands of a dentist with the eyes of an artist to create natural-looking restorations.
