Specialized Care
What Is Prosthodontics?
Prosthodontics is a dental specialty focused on replacing missing teeth and restoring damaged ones. Unlike general dentistry, prosthodontists like Dr. Mark Wilhelm receive three additional years of specialized training beyond dental school to master the art and science of creating natural-looking, functional tooth replacements.
At Imagine Your Smile in Woodbury, MN, prosthodontic care combines advanced techniques with artistic skill to design crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants that seamlessly blend with your natural smile. This specialized approach ensures your replacement teeth not only look natural but function properly for years to come.
- Requires three years of additional training beyond dental school
- Focuses on both function and aesthetics of replacement teeth
- Covers single crowns to complete smile reconstructions
Complete Smile Restoration
Benefits of Prosthodontic Specialty Services
When complex dental issues affect multiple teeth or your entire smile, prosthodontic specialty care addresses everything at once. Our comprehensive approach restores both function and beauty, giving you back the confidence to smile, eat, and speak naturally.
Eat Your Favorite Foods Again
No more avoiding steak, corn on the cob, or crunchy apples. With properly restored teeth and bite alignment, you can enjoy all the foods you love without worry about pain, discomfort, or embarrassing slipping.
Speak Clearly and Confidently
Missing or damaged teeth can cause mumbling, lisping, or slurred speech. Our reconstructive solutions restore proper tongue placement and airflow, so you can speak clearly in meetings, social situations, and
important conversations.
Smile Without Hiding
Stop covering your mouth when you laugh or avoiding photos. A complete smile transformation gives you the confidence to smile widely and genuinely, improving your social interactions and professional presence.
One Coordinated Treatment Plan
Instead of bouncing between different specialists for years, our comprehensive approach addresses all your dental needs in one coordinated plan. This saves you time, reduces stress, and ensures all treatments work together perfectly.
Long-Term Oral Health Protection
Properly aligned teeth and restored bite function prevent future problems like jaw pain, tooth wear, and gum disease. This proactive approach saves you from costly emergency treatments and ongoing dental issues
down the road.
Natural-Looking Results
Your new teeth are custom-designed to match your facial features, age, and personal style. Friends and family will notice your beautiful smile but won’t be able to tell you’ve had extensive dental work done.
Improved Facial Support
Missing teeth cause facial collapse and premature aging. Our reconstructive treatments restore proper facial height and support, taking years off your appearance and giving you a more youthful profile.
Better Sleep and Breathing
Proper bite alignment and jaw positioning can improve airway function and reduce sleep disruptions. Many patients experience better rest and reduced snoring after comprehensive treatment.
Enhanced Self-Esteem
When you’re not worried about how your teeth look or function, you naturally feel more confident in social and professional situations. This improved self-image positively impacts every area of your life.
Predictable, Lasting Results
Our advanced planning technology and specialized expertise ensure your treatment outcomes are precisely planned and built to last decades. You can trust that your investment will provide reliable function and beauty
for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
Prosthodontic Specialty Services FAQs
At Imagine Your Smile, we understand that prosthodontic treatments can seem complex. Dr. Wilhelm and our team regularly answer questions about these specialized services to help patients make informed decisions about their oral health.
What exactly is a prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has completed three additional years of training beyond dental school, focusing specifically on replacing and restoring teeth. Dr. Wilhelm specializes in creating natural-looking crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants. This advanced training means you receive expert care for complex restorative needs that general dentists often refer to specialists like us.
How are prosthodontic treatments different from regular dental work?
Prosthodontic care addresses more complex cases involving multiple missing teeth, full mouth reconstruction, or challenging aesthetic situations. While general dentists handle routine care, Dr. Wilhelm tackles cases that require specialized knowledge of bite function, jaw relationships, and advanced restoration techniques. This expertise ensures your treatment plan addresses both function and appearance for long-lasting results.
What types of conditions do you treat at Imagine Your Smile?
We treat patients with missing teeth, severely damaged teeth, worn-down smiles, and those needing full mouth reconstruction. Dr. Wilhelm also helps patients with bite problems, jaw joint issues, and those who want to upgrade from traditional dentures to implant-supported options. Many patients come to us when their dental problems are too complex for general dentistry.
How long do prosthodontic treatments typically take?
Treatment timelines vary depending on your specific needs, but most cases range from a few weeks to several months. Simple crown work might take two to three weeks, while full mouth reconstruction or dental implant placement can take three to six months. Dr. Wilhelm provides detailed timelines during your consultation, and we often offer temporary solutions to maintain your smile during treatment.
Will my insurance cover prosthodontic treatments?
Coverage varies by insurance plan and specific treatment needs. Many plans cover basic prosthodontic services like crowns and bridges, while coverage for implants or full mouth reconstruction may be limited. Our team works directly with your insurance company to maximize benefits and provides financing options to make treatment affordable regardless of coverage levels.
Are prosthodontic treatments painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after treatment. Dr. Wilhelm uses advanced techniques and offers multiple sedation options to ensure your comfort throughout the process. We provide detailed post-treatment care instructions and pain management recommendations. Many patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedures are, especially compared to living with damaged or missing teeth.
How do I know if I need to see a prosthodontist?
Consider prosthodontic care if you have multiple missing teeth, are unhappy with your current dentures, need full mouth reconstruction, or have been told your case is too complex for general dentistry. Dr. Wilhelm also helps patients who want the highest level of expertise for important restorative work, ensuring both beautiful and functional results.
What makes Imagine Your Smile different from other dental offices?
Dr. Wilhelm’s specialized prosthodontic training sets us apart from general dental practices. We focus exclusively on complex restorative cases and use advanced technology like guided implant surgery and digital smile design. Our team has decades of experience with challenging cases, and we offer comprehensive care from consultation through final restoration under one roof.
How much do prosthodontic treatments cost?
Costs vary significantly based on your treatment plan, from single crowns to full mouth reconstruction. We provide detailed treatment estimates during your consultation and offer financing options to fit different budgets. Dr. Wilhelm believes in transparent pricing with no hidden fees, and our team helps you understand all costs upfront before beginning treatment.
What can I expect during my first visit to Imagine Your Smile?
Your initial consultation includes a comprehensive examination, discussion of your concerns and goals, and review of treatment options. Dr. Wilhelm takes time to explain your condition and recommended treatments in easy-to-understand terms. We often use digital imaging to help you visualize potential results, and you’ll leave with a clear understanding of your options and next steps.
