Prosthodontics at Galitsis & Bovino
What Is Prosthodontics?
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and maintenance of patients with missing or deficient teeth and oral and maxillofacial tissues. It is one of only nine recognized dental specialties, and board certification requires years of advanced postgraduate training beyond dental school.
Dr. Paul Galitsis completed his postgraduate prosthodontic training at Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, where he developed the precision and artistry that defines his work today. Whether you need a single crown or a complete smile reconstruction, you are in the hands of a true specialist.
Implant Crowns & Restorations
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth — and the crown or restoration placed on top is just as important as the implant itself. Dr. Galitsis specializes in the restorative phase: designing and placing the final crown, bridge, or overdenture that attaches to your implant. The result is a restoration that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
- Single-tooth implant crowns
- Implant-supported bridges
- Implant-retained overdentures
- Full-arch implant restorations
Porcelain Crowns & Bridges
A crown covers and protects a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, strength, and appearance. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent teeth. Dr. Galitsis uses high-quality porcelain materials that are matched to the color and translucency of your natural teeth — so your restoration blends seamlessly into your smile.
Dentures & Partial Dentures
Modern dentures are far more comfortable and natural-looking than the dentures of a generation ago. Dr. Galitsis designs full and partial dentures that fit precisely, stay secure, and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Each denture is custom-fabricated to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Full-Mouth Reconstruction
When multiple teeth are damaged, missing, or severely worn, a full-mouth reconstruction addresses the entire bite in a coordinated, comprehensive treatment plan. This may involve a combination of crowns, bridges, implant restorations, and other restorative procedures — all sequenced and executed with the precision that only a prosthodontic specialist can provide.
Dr. Galitsis takes a thorough diagnostic approach before any treatment begins, using detailed records, models, and digital imaging to plan every step of your reconstruction.
