Once I get into school, I'm planning on working closely with the restorative dentistry/prosthodontist department. The reason being...I can see myself (right now anyway) enjoying this work the most. I don't want to specialize but I can see myself wanting to get more involved than fillings, crowns, composites, etc. Implants and dentures seem pretty interesting. My life has personally been improved by a dental implant. I've also watched a maxillofacial prosthodontist donate dentures to veterans and the final results were often tears. That kind of stuff is awesome..using your hands to make a real, substantial, positive impact on someones life. It can also be a unique niche, something I'm looking for.
My general questions are:
How stable is this kind of work?
How feasible is it as a general dentist?
How feasible will seeking this out (on my own/extra time) in dental school be?
Any other ideas would be great. Thanks.
