WHAT IS A PROSTHODONTIST?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist focused on the restoration and replacement of teeth, and is one of only nine specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA).
Prosthodontists receive extensive training beyond dental school, giving them a deep understanding of smile design, oral function, and the use of dental prosthetics to treat even the most complex dental conditions.
Think of a prosthodontist as the architect of your dental treatment plan. Dr. Ahmed works closely with general dentists, oral surgeons, and other specialists to deliver custom solutions for patients with:
-
Missing or severely damaged teeth
-
TMJ disorders
-
Full-mouth rehabilitation needs
-
Dental implants, crowns, and bridges
-
Complex cosmetic concerns
-
Birth defects, trauma-related issues, and more
WHY CHOOSE DR. ISRA AHMED?
Dr. Ahmed brings a unique blend of technical expertise and artistic precision to every patient she treats. Her advanced training includes three years of specialized postgraduate education in prosthodontics, where she focused on:
-
Head and neck anatomy

-
Dental materials and aesthetics

Treating TMJ disorders
-
Full-mouth reconstruction
-
Sleep apnea and oral appliance therapy
Only about 4,275 prosthodontists currently practice in the U.S.—compared to over 186,000 general dentists—and fewer than 25% of those prosthodontists are board certified. Dr. Ahmed is proud to represent this elite group of specialists dedicated to restoring both function and beauty to your smile.
PROSTHODONTICS: THE TRUE HOME OF COSMETIC DENTISTRY
While many general dentists perform basic cosmetic procedures, cosmetic dentistry is not an officially recognized specialty by the ADA. Instead, prosthodontics is the specialty that includes the science and artistry of esthetic dentistry. Patients seeking complex cosmetic or full-mouth treatments should turn to a prosthodontist like Dr. Ahmed, who is trained to handle advanced cases with precision and care.
