Prosthodontics Clinic
UCSF Dental Center’s Prosthodontics Clinic offers high-quality, specialized dental care by respected, experienced UCSF School of Dentistry faculty and teams of residents and faculty. While prosthodontics is a branch of dentistry dedicated to making replacements for missing or damaged teeth, we focus on retaining teeth where possible and providing restoration as necessary for maximum comfort, function, health, and aesthetics.
