Meet Dr. Ben Tindal, DMD, MS
Specialized Training. Thoughtful Treatment. A Personal Approach.
As a prosthodontist, I am deeply committed to the art and science of restoring smiles. Many of my patients are referred by general dentists who trust me with complex restorative cases requiring advanced skills, attention to detail, and an understanding of aesthetics, function, and patient comfort. My team and I embrace these challenges and the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in our patients' lives.
Every patient’s journey at Tindal Prosthodontics begins with one-on-one attention to understand their individual needs, concerns, and goals. Whether you're exploring modern denture solutions, considering dental implants, or seeking a full-mouth restoration, listening to you is essential to achieving results that restore both confidence and oral health.
My team and I bring precision, artistry, and specialized care to every treatment. We want you to experience the difference a dental specialist can make, not just in the final result, but throughout your time with us. From your first consultation to the final reveal of your smile, our goal is to ensure you feel valued, informed, and comfortable every step of the way.

Specialized Solutions for Restoring Your Smile
Not every dental concern has a simple solution. Missing teeth, extensive wear, damaged restorations, and changes in your bite may require a more comprehensive approach. At Tindal Prosthodontics, we evaluate how your teeth, gums, jaw, and existing dental work function together to develop restorative treatment plans suited to your individual needs.
Dental Implants
Dental implants can replace missing teeth while providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, and dentures. Dr. Tindal evaluates your oral health, bone support, bite, and restorative goals to help determine an appropriate treatment approach. Whether you are missing one tooth or several, implant-supported restorations can help restore comfort, chewing function, and a natural-looking smile.
Custom Dental Crowns
Dental crowns are designed to restore teeth that have become weakened, cracked, worn, or extensively damaged. Each crown is carefully planned to complement your surrounding teeth while supporting the strength, alignment, and function of your bite. We consider both appearance and long-term performance when recommending restorative treatment.
Bone Grafting for Dental Implants
When a patient has experienced bone loss, bone grafting may be recommended to create adequate support for dental implant treatment. Dr. Tindal evaluates bone structure and overall oral health as part of the implant planning process to determine whether additional treatment may be beneficial before implant placement.
Your Smile is Our Specialty.
Dental Care That Looks Beyond the Teeth
We understand that dental concerns can affect much more than your appearance. Missing teeth, worn restorations, or an uncomfortable bite may change how you eat, speak, or interact with others. Addressing these concerns requires more than selecting the right procedure. It requires understanding how each part of your smile works together.
At Tindal Prosthodontics, we believe patients deserve to be involved in their treatment decisions. We take time to explain our findings, discuss available options, and develop individualized plans that consider both immediate concerns and long-term dental health.
Our approach combines specialized clinical knowledge with a genuine commitment to the people we care for. Whether you need a single restoration or more extensive rehabilitation, our priority is helping you achieve a result that feels as good as it looks.
What is the difference between a General Dentist and Prosthodontist?
Both general dentists and prosthodontists play important roles in maintaining and restoring oral health. While general dentists provide a broad range of dental care, prosthodontists complete three additional years of specialty training after dental school, focusing on the restoration and replacement of teeth.
This advanced education includes complex treatment planning, dental implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, dental aesthetics, and rehabilitation of the bite.
A prosthodontist may be especially helpful if you:
-
Have one or more missing teeth and are considering replacement options.
-
Have worn, broken, or failing dental restorations.
-
Are experiencing difficulties with uncomfortable or unstable dentures.
-
Need multiple crowns, bridges, or a comprehensive restorative treatment plan.
-
Have changes in your bite that affect comfort or chewing.
-
Have been referred by your general dentist for specialized care.
At Tindal Prosthodontics in Sarasota, Dr. Ben Tindal works with patients seeking treatment for a range of restorative needs, from individual tooth replacements to complex full-mouth rehabilitation.
