Department of Prosthodontics

Prosthodontics

The Department of Prosthodontics at Unicorpus Health Foundation specialises in the restoration of badly damaged teeth and replacement of missing or damaged teeth, with an emphasis on both aesthetics and function. Our prosthodontists are trained in advanced techniques to rehabilitate oral structures, addressing conditions that affect chewing, speech, appearance, and overall oral health.
We offer personalised treatment plans supported by cutting-edge technology, evidence-based protocols, and compassionate care, especially for patients requiring complex oral rehabilitation, geriatric dentistry, or full-mouth reconstruction.

Conditions We Manage

  • Complete or Partial Tooth Loss (Edentulism)
    Management of missing teeth using removable or fixed prostheses, including full or partial dentures, bridges, and implant-supported dentures to restore mastication and speech.
  • Worn or Fractured Teeth
    Caused by bruxism, trauma, or enamel erosion, these are treated with crowns, onlays, or veneers to re-establish function and aesthetics while preventing further deterioration
  • Congenital Oral and Maxillofacial Defects
    Comprehensive prosthetic rehabilitation for patients with cleft lip/palate or other craniofacial anomalies, often in coordination with surgical and orthodontic teams.
  • Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD)
    Addressing joint pain, limited mouth opening, and occlusal dysfunction using splint therapy, bite correction, and in selected cases, surgical referral.
  • Aesthetic Concerns Related to Smile Design or Facial Symmetry
    Customised smile makeovers using ceramic veneers, crowns, and gum contouring, ensuring a natural, harmonious appearance aligned with facial proportions.
