It is a medical speciality dedicated to the rehabilitation of patients with craniofacial alterations through the elaboration of prostheses.
The most common prostheses are intraoral, facial, ocular and auricular prostheses. However, there is a wide range of prostheses and therapeutic devices that I can make with my training. On the PROSTHESIS page you can see some examples.
This varies significantly between the type of prosthesis and the particular case. You can visit the section of the prosthesis you are interested in for more specific information.
Contact me and tell me your story. In the initial assessment we can study your case and present you with the best treatment option for you.
