The Department of Prosthodontics is located on the first floor of the Dental College building and plays a crucial role in restoring the oral health and quality of life for patients who have lost their teeth or orofacial structures due to disease, trauma, or congenital conditions.

The department specializes in the rehabilitation of missing teeth and associated structures through artificial prosthetic replacements, ensuring both functional and aesthetic restoration.

The clinical services offered are organized under the following key divisions:

• Complete Denture Prosthodontics – Rehabilitation of patients who have lost all teeth in one or both arches.

• Removable Partial Denture Prosthodontics – Restoration for partially edentulous patients using removable prostheses.

• Fixed Partial Denture Prosthodontics – Tooth-supported fixed restorations including crowns, bridges, and laminates.

• Maxillofacial Prosthodontics – Specialized prosthetic rehabilitation of patients with defects of the face, jaws, and associated structures.

• Implant Prosthodontics – Restoration of missing teeth using dental implants for enhanced stability and function.

The department is equipped with modern clinical facilities and advanced prosthodontic tools, offering comprehensive training to both undergraduate and postgraduate students. Emphasis is placed on a patient-centered, evidence-based approach, with a focus on precision, comfort, and long-term function of prosthetic treatments.

At S. Nijalingappa Institute of Dental Sciences & Research, the Department of Prosthodontics stands committed to clinical excellence, innovation, and academic rigor in the field of prosthetic and implant dentistry.
