Program Contact
The PRH Advanced Education Program in Prosthodontics, conducted at the Austin Institute of Dental Medicine in Austin, Texas, is a 36 month, academically grounded specialty program dedicated to the advanced diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation, and long term maintenance of patients with complex restorative needs. The program is designed to develop prosthodontists with deep expertise in occlusion, esthetics, implant therapy, and full mouth rehabilitation.
Clinical training is progressive and competency based, with residents managing increasing levels of complexity under close faculty supervision. Residents gain advanced experience in fixed and removable prosthodontics, implant surgery planning and prosthetic restoration, full mouth rehabilitation, esthetic dentistry and smile design, management of occlusal disorders and TMD, maxillofacial prosthetics, treatment of medically complex patients, and interdisciplinary care coordination. The educational structure supports steady development from foundational knowledge to mastery of highly complex restorative care.
The curriculum follows a structured developmental model. Early training focuses on core prosthodontic principles, occlusion, treatment planning, materials science, and introduction to implant dentistry and research. As training progresses, residents expand into advanced implant therapy, digital workflow integration, complex restorative procedures, and greater interdisciplinary responsibility, culminating in comprehensive rehabilitation, maxillofacial prosthetics experience, advanced esthetic and implant procedures, research completion, and board preparation. Residents train in a state of the art environment with digital impression systems, facial scanning, CAD CAM workflows, 3D printing, milling technology, virtual articulation, and in house laboratory support. Scholarly activity is an integral part of the program and is supported through faculty mentorship, protected research time, and access to digital and laboratory resources
