Department of Prosthodontics
The Department of Prosthodontics is responsible for the restoration and replacement of missing teeth and associated structures of the oral and maxillofacial region. This department focuses on the design, manufacture, and fitting of artificial replacements for missing teeth and related oral and facial structures.
The Department of Prosthodontics plays a vital role in the field of dental care, specializing in the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth. This highly specialized field encompasses the fabrication of crowns, bridges, dentures, and other prosthetic devices designed to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of a patient's smile.
The crown and bridge procedures performed within the Department of Prosthodontics are of particular importance, as they aim to restore the structural integrity and appearance of individual teeth or multiple teeth. Crowns, which are custom-made caps that fit over the entire visible portion of a tooth, are utilized to protect weakened or damaged teeth, while bridges are used to replace missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to the surrounding natural teeth.
Through the expertise and advanced techniques employed by the Department of Prosthodontics, patients can regain their confidence and improve their overall oral health, ultimately leading to a better quality of life.
