Innovator
Dr Aires' interest in prosthodontics led him to establish the San Diego Prosthodontic Society in 1985. This group of prosthodontists is focused on innovating procedures for the restoration of missing or badly broken-down teeth. Methods being used include fixed bridges, implant-supported teeth, and full and partial dentures.
