Welcome to our new blog! We wanted a platform for sharing valuable information with the Rockville community and hope you’ll check back in each month for oral health tips, what to expect from various dental procedures, and a variety of other smile-related topics. For this first blog, you’ll find out what sets a prosthodontist apart from general dentists and learn about the many services we offer. We look forward to being your prosthodontist in Rockville and serving your dental needs for many years to come!
Why Should You See a Prosthodontist?
Prosthodontists are specialists in prosthetic teeth, or replacement teeth, such as implants and dentures. They get an additional three years of training after completing dental school, which allows them to easily handle even the most complicated cases such as full mouth reconstruction.
In addition to this advanced training and experience, Dr. Sanker has also distinguished himself with the following accomplishments:
- 35 years of dental implant training – Dental implants are a relatively recent advance that’s changed the field of prosthodontics immensely. No other replacement option restores the look, feel and function of natural teeth the way implants do. And it goes without saying that when you’re making an investment in your oral health like implants, you want someone with as much experience as possible.
- Commitment to education – While there’s no substitute for experience, great dentistry also requires the latest technology and techniques. That’s why Dr. Sanker pursues continuing education every year so he can bring his patients the benefit of new materials and other advances. In addition, Dr. Sanker has educated other dentists as well, and is not only the President of the Rockville Dental Study Club, but has also served on the faculty at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry.
