About Dr. Langley
“I basically lived in a dental office when I was young because I had several major problems with my teeth that needed a lot of work. I never had a bad dental experience, and there was never anyone nicer than my dentist was to me. That always stuck with me.”
Dr. Judd Langley has been a practicing prosthodontist since 2006. He found his passion for dentistry as a child, due to his own experiences visiting the dentist.
Dr. Langley earned his Bachelor of Science degree in 1997 at the College Station campus of Texas A&M University. After teaching for two years, he moved on to the Baylor College of Dentistry, earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2003. He then completed three years of advanced training and residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio and the Wilford Hall Medical Center at Lackland Air Force Base. Dr. Langley graduated with a master’s degree and a specialty certificate in prosthodontics in 2006. He has maintained a regular schedule of continuing education since that time to stay abreast of the latest technical developments.
What is a Prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a recognized dental specialist who completes three years of postgraduate education in the aesthetic restoration and replacement of teeth, after earning a general dental degree. They can effectively diagnose and treat even the most complex cases. They are specialists in restoring your smile to full health, function, and beauty.
Prosthodontics is the dental specialty pertaining to the diagnosis, treatment planning, rehabilitation and maintenance of the oral function, comfort, appearance and health of patients with clinical conditions associated with missing or deficient teeth and/or oral and maxillofacial tissues using biocompatible substitutes. — American Dental Association
