The main difference between a Weekend Prosthodontist and a General Dentist lies in specialization. A Weekend Prosthodontist has advanced training in prosthetic and restorative procedures, often working in specialized clinics, while a General Dentist provides a wide range of dental services in general practice settings. Both roles require dental degrees, but the prosthodontist's focus is on complex restorations and prostheses.
