    Family dentistry and prosthodontics are related but different areas of dental care. Family dentistry focuses on routine dental care for patients of different ages, including cleanings, exams, fillings, preventive care, and basic restorative treatments.

    Prosthodontics is a dental specialty focused on restoring and replacing teeth. Prosthodontists often work with crowns, bridges, dentures, implants, full-mouth reconstruction, and complex restorative cases.
