👉 A prosthodontic tooth is a tooth that has been surgically altered to be similar in size and shape to its missing counterpart. The most common type of prosthodontic tooth is called a "prosophyse". This means that the tooth is made from a material like porcelain or zirconia, and it is designed to fit over the missing tooth. Prosophyse are very strong and durable, but they can also be difficult to clean and maintain.
