General dentist: All general dentists are train well enough to perform crown and bridges. A specialist may do better in full mouth reconstruction. You may ask to see his past work on complex cases, focusing on how he or she arrives to the final result base on his or her diagnosis and cases analysis. In the case of single or couple crowns and bridges, any dentist will do. Otherwise, ask to see their works.

General Dentist: All general dentists are proficient in crown and bridge treatment. A prosthodontist is a specialist who deals with this treatment in conjunction with complex restorative cases. Chairside manner, office demeanor, and a feeling of confidence by you in his/her abilities is a good start to your relationship. A referral from a satisfied patient should also help.
