Prosthodontics & Crown & Bridge & Implantology
discipline of dentistry
Prosthodontics is a branch of dentistry which deals with treating children, and adults including geriatrics with special health care needs. Any patient handled with care, during dental procedure, would develop a positive attitude towards treatment.
Department of Prosthodontics offers undergraduate and postgraduate training for the restoration and replacement of missing teeth. The department offers care to patients who have significant damage to existing teeth, missing teeth, congenital orofacial defects and restores the dentition to form, function, and aesthetics.“DeVan’s golden statement, “Perpetual preservation of what remains is more important than the meticulous replacement of what is missing,” still rings true.
