Certification & Training

“Dedicated to the restoration of teeth with Crowns, Bridges, Dentures, Dental Implants, Dental Bonding and more…”

Postgraduate training in Prosthodontics, similar to postgraduate training in Periodontics, Orthodontics, and Endodontics and Oral Surgery (and indeed any other specialist training) involves up to three years additional dental training and education following qualification as a dentist. In addition Dr Edward Owens is an American Board of Prosthodontics Board Certified Prosthodontist and the distinction of being a Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists and a Diplomate of the American Board of Prosthodontists.

All clinicians must have already qualified as general dentists and in many cases, they will have managed and lead their own primary care dental practice prior to being accepted onto a post-graduate dental specialist degree program.

Prosthodontists receive three years of full time advanced education in an accredited postgraduate program. This includes the diagnosis, planning and management of complex dental treatments, the management and supervision of the laboratory requirement for each aspect of the patient’s clinical needs and the provision of all detail associated with the long term management of patient’s specific ongoing dental requirements.

Dentists who have trained as Prosthodontists are therefore in an optimal position to offer expertise in diagnosis and treatment planning for each patient in the provision of restorative dentistry along with the long-term management of ongoing complex dental problems.

Prosthodontists have experience in the detailed sequencing and maintenance of comprehensive restorative dental care for a wide range of diverse patient requirements, including dental crowns, veneers, bridges, dental implants and denture treatments.
