Dear Student,

As you progress in your dental education at Sharavathi Dental College, Prosthodontics will open up the fascinating world of restoring lost teeth and oral function. This specialty focuses on dental crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants, helping patients regain not just their smile but also their confidence and ability to chew and speak properly.

You will learn to:

• Design and fabricate crowns and bridges that restore damaged or missing teeth with perfect fit and esthetics.
• Plan and deliver complete and partial dentures, bringing comfort and functionality to patients with multiple missing teeth.
• Explore the science and technique of dental implants, from case selection to placement and restoration.
• Study occlusion and jaw relation to ensure comfort and long-term success of prosthetic appliances.
• Gain practical experience with CAD/CAM technology, digital impressions, and 3D printing used in modern prosthodontics.
• Work on maxillofacial prosthetics, including rehabilitation for patients who have lost parts of their face or jaws due to trauma or surgery.

Through hands-on training, you will develop the skill to restore smiles that look natural and function perfectly. This exposure will give you the confidence to manage both routine cases and complex rehabilitations.

You will be well-prepared to serve patients who desire functional, durable, and beautiful dental restorations. By mastering this specialty, you’ll become skilled in restoring smiles, speech, and chewing efficiency – bringing back confidence and quality of life for your patients.

At Sharavathi, you won’t just be replacing teeth; you’ll be learning how to rebuild function, esthetics, and self-esteem through advanced prosthodontic techniques.
