Piedras Negras Dental Clinic
Prosthodontics
Prosthodontics is the specialty of rebuilding smiles — from replacing one tooth to restoring the entire mouth.
Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to replacing missing teeth and restoring heavily damaged ones with prosthetics: crowns, bridges, partial or complete dentures. It is one of Dr. Tokunaga's deepest areas of experience.
Losing teeth affects far more than looks: it changes chewing, digestion, speech and even the shape of your face. A well-planned rehabilitation restores function and confidence — and every plan is tailored to your mouth and your budget.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
I'm missing several teeth — where do I start?
With an evaluation. Prosthodontics has solutions for every scenario — from one tooth to a full mouth — and the first step is understanding your case to present real options.
Which is better: fixed or removable?
Fixed restorations (bridges, crowns) offer more comfort and stability; removable ones are more affordable and versatile when many teeth are missing. We'll explain what suits your case at the evaluation.
How long does a full rehabilitation take?
It depends on the plan: from a couple of weeks for simple cases to a few months for major rehabilitations. You'll know the timeline from day one.
