Prosthodontists

Prosthodontists are dentists who specialize in replacing teeth using things like bridges, crowns, and dentures. Prosthodontists do everything that a normal dentist does as well. Dentists do things such as looking at your teeth, determining if your teeth need any work done to them, fill teeth, put on caps, and remove decay.
     The only differences that separate a prosthodontist from a dentist is that they do measurements and model for dentures, repair fractured teeth, and even do surgery on gums.

Requirements:

  • Get a degree from an accredited dentist school
  • Apply and receive a license for the state which you plan to work in
  • Pass a specialized exam


Salary and Future Outlook:

Prosthodontists make on average anywhere from $110,300-$196,000 a year.
People believe that this job will increase around 28% by the year 2018.


Personal Experience:

My friends dad does this as a career and they have a nice house and they don't have to worry about paying their bills.
