8 One of the first things you notice about someone is their smile. A smile in itself is a way to communicate joy, greetings, wonder, excitement, kindness and more. The amount of confidence hidden behind those pearly whites is often unconsidered, but there are so many people struggling with loss of teeth, deterioration or other oral issues that prevent them from presenting their best self. The team at Contemporary Prosthodontics is here to help as many people as they can to overcome the pain, self-consciousness and poor health that can often be attributed to serious dental issues. Using crowns, bridges, dentures and implants, prosthodontists can reconstruct a patient's mouth, addressing changes in bite, tooth loss, cosmetics and more. These specialists in dental reconstruction can help remedy singular issues or even a lifetime of wear and tear. MEET THE TEAM Dr. Andrew Wiemeyer has been practicing prosthodontics for over twenty years. Joining his father, Peter, in 2001, the pair grew the practice into Wiemeyer Dentistry, a premier general dentistry practice in Duxbury. Wiemeyer has always wanted to focus on his specialty, so when the opportunity arose to partner with up- and-coming prosthodontist and expert surgeon, Dr. Samuel Lee, he knew it was time to open a new practice, focusing strictly on dental reconstruction. Lee is one of the less-than-one-half of one percent of all dentists in the country who are board-certified prosthodontists, an uncommon designation in the field and unique asset to the practice. DIGITAL WORKFLOW Together, with their combination of skill, experience and expertise, Wiemeyer and Lee have opened Contemporary Prosthodontics, a state-of-the-art facility utilizing advanced technology and equipment to provide innovative solutions to patients along the South Shore and around New England. Technologies in this field are constantly changing and advancing, and the team at Contemporary Pro is committed to providing the most up-to-date treatments and advanced technologies learned straight from the country's leading clinicians. One such tool is the X-Guide ® , a navigation system that provides extreme precision for implant surgery. Contemporary Pro is the only practice on the South Shore to have one. The team also uses high-tech x-ray equipment like Cone Beam 3D imaging and even portable x-ray units known to emit minimal radiation. Remember having cumbersome molds made of your mouth?
