How prosthodontic treatment works.
- Consultation and examination: we examine your teeth, gums and bite, and take X-rays (we have in-house X-ray).
- Treatment planning: we explain the options, materials, number of visits and fees, and you choose what suits you.
- Preparing the teeth: where needed, teeth are gently shaped under local anaesthesia. Any decay, gum disease or infection is treated first.
- Impressions or scans: an accurate record of your teeth is taken so the restoration fits well.
- Temporary and trial fit: a temporary crown, bridge or denture protects you and lets us check the look and bite.
- Final fit and review: your restoration is checked for fit, comfort, bite and appearance, and bonded or fitted. We review you after.
Materials we discuss with you.
Ceramic and porcelain
Natural-looking materials often chosen for visible teeth.
Zirconia
A strong, tooth-coloured material often considered for crowns and bridges.
Metal-based options
Used where strength is the priority, sometimes with a ceramic covering.
Acrylic and other denture materials
Used to make comfortable, natural-looking dentures.
The right material depends on the tooth, your bite, appearance and budget. Your dentist will explain the options and their pros and cons.
Looking after crowns, bridges and dentures.
- Brush twice a day and clean between your teeth, including under bridges, with the tools your dentist shows you.
- Avoid biting very hard objects such as ice or pen caps.
- Remove and clean dentures daily, and leave them out at night unless advised otherwise.
- Keep regular check-ups so small problems are found early.
- Tell us if a restoration feels loose, high or uncomfortable. Small adjustments are normal.

Frequently asked questions.
What is prosthodontics?
Prosthodontics is the area of dentistry that restores damaged teeth and replaces missing teeth using crowns, bridges, dentures and implant-supported teeth.
Does Smylife Dental offer prosthodontic treatment in Bangalore?
Yes. Smylife Dental on Sarjapur Main Road, Bangalore offers prosthodontic and restorative treatment, including crowns, bridges and dentures, after an examination.
What is a dental crown?
A dental crown, or cap, is a custom-made covering that fits over a tooth to protect it and restore its shape, strength and appearance.
When do I need a crown?
A crown may be advised for a badly decayed, cracked or worn tooth, a tooth with a large filling, or a tooth treated with a root canal. Your dentist will confirm after an examination.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by attaching false teeth to the teeth or implants on either side of the gap.
What is the difference between a bridge and a dental implant?
A bridge relies on neighbouring teeth, or implants, for support. A dental implant replaces the tooth root and stands on its own in the jaw. Your dentist will advise which suits you.
What is the difference between complete and partial dentures?
Complete dentures replace all the teeth in a jaw. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth and fit around your remaining natural teeth.
Are dentures comfortable?
Well-fitted dentures can be comfortable, though it takes time to get used to them. Small adjustments after fitting are normal.
Will dentures affect my speech or eating?
You may notice a short adjustment period when speaking and eating. Most people adapt with practice, and your dentist can adjust the fit.
Is getting a crown or bridge painful?
The teeth are numbed with local anaesthesia, so the procedure should be comfortable. Mild sensitivity afterwards is common and usually settles.
How many visits does a crown or bridge take?
Usually more than one visit: preparation and impressions, then fitting once the restoration has been made. Your dentist will outline the schedule.
How long do crowns, bridges and dentures last?
It varies with the material, your oral hygiene, your bite and check-ups. With good care they can last for many years, and dentures may need adjusting or replacing over time.
How much do crowns and dentures cost in Bangalore?
The cost depends on the type, the material and the number of teeth. After your consultation, we give you the plan and fees clearly before you begin.
Can I have a crown after a root canal?
Yes. A crown is often advised after a root canal, especially on back teeth, because a treated tooth can be weaker. Learn more about our microscope root canal treatment.
How do I take care of crowns and bridges?
Brush twice a day, clean between your teeth and under the bridge, avoid biting hard objects and keep regular check-ups.
