implant supported dentures
why choose an expert to replace your missing teeth?
If you’re looking for a dental provider in San Antonio to help with complex cosmetic or restorative dental services, like dental implants and dental crowns, you should consider a provider with the highest skillset and advanced training. While a general dentist provides excellent care for some cosmetic and restorative treatments, prosthodontists have at least three years of advanced training beyond dental school that enables them to help patients who have cases that require more advanced treatment. This specialized training is highly focused on aesthetics and function.
With expertise and experience, prosthodontists are like architects and artists creating beautiful and healthy smiles. Often, general dentists refer their patients to prosthodontists, but referrals are not necessary. Dr. Joel Diaz is a Prosthodontist in San Antonio and a recognized expert in the field of dentistry for replacing anything in the mouth. He can replace a single missing tooth or even all of the teeth, as well as gum tissue in your mouth.
Dr. Diaz is skilled at providing dental crowns, bridges, dental implants, full and partial dentures and the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorder, or “TMJ”. Dr. Diaz has advanced education, expertise, and experience to address issues that general dentists may not often see.

advanced training & technology
Many choose a prosthodontist because of their advanced education and training, efficiency, and expertise with advanced technology.

Rigorous training and experience give prosthodontists a special understanding of the dynamics of a smile and the preservation of a healthy mouth.
patient experience
At Diaz Prosthodontics, we do not provide routine dental care such as routine exams and cleanings. Our volume of patients is significantly less since we are specialist practice. This allows Dr. Diaz and our team to spend more time with the patient, helping them achieve thier goals instead of high patient volumes.
