What Is a Prosthodontist? Meet Dr Chae Park at 123 Dental, Perth

At 123 Dental, we are proud to introduce Dr Chae Park, a highly experienced specialist prosthodontist bringing advanced restorative and implant dentistry to West Leederville, Perth.

For patients considering dental implant restorations, full mouth rehabilitation, or complex restorative treatment, having a prosthodontist involved in your care can make a significant difference to both your outcome and long-term success.

 

What Is a Prosthodontist?

A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on the restoration and replacement of teeth. Prosthodontists complete an additional three years of full-time specialist training beyond general dentistry, equipping them to manage the most complex restorative cases.
