Hi A "prosthetic" refers to an artificial device or appliance that is used to replace a missing body part, such as an arm, leg, or eye. A doctor who specializes in making and fitting prosthetics is called a "prosthetist" or "orthotist." The dental specialist is called "orthodontist" Cheers!

Hey Sasha, Lucho's answer is correct. A "prosthetic" is the name for the artificial limb. Their is a type of dentistry called "prosthetic dentistry" that helps people who need teeth replaced or even part of their jaw replaced. Good luck!
