answer
Your traditional dental bridge can be made by a general dentist or by a prothodontist, a dentist who specializes in the repair and replacement of damaged or missing teeth. A prothodontist has trained in the specialty for two or three years after dental school. If you need root canal treatment for the anchor teeth, this work can be done by a general dentist or by an endodontist, a dentist who specializes in root canals. Endodontists train in their specialty for at least two years after dental school.
