Prosthodontics
Crowns, bridges and dentures — fixed or removable, planned around how you actually use your teeth.
- Comprehensive Assessment
- Digital Imaging When Needed
- Personalized Treatment Plan
- Transparent Recommendations
When prosthodontic work is the right call.
Prosthodontics replaces what is missing — one tooth, several teeth, or a whole arch — and rebuilds teeth that have lost too much structure to hold a filling. The right option depends on how many teeth are involved, the health of the gum and bone underneath, and your priorities for cost, comfort and stability.
- A heavily broken-down or root-treated tooth that needs a crown
- One or two missing teeth with healthy teeth on either side
- Multiple missing teeth across an arch
- An existing denture that has become loose or uncomfortable
- Difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth
- Worn or collapsed bite that needs full restoration
Four prosthodontic treatments.
Tap a treatment for what it's used for, how it's planned, and how it's kept comfortable.
- Best for
- Root-treated teeth, large cavities beyond a filling, fractured cusps, worn-down molars

- Planning
- Digital scan, bite analysis, and assessment of the anchor teeth
- Comfort
- Local anesthesia for preparation of the anchor teeth
Ask about bridgesPatient benefits- Replaces missing teeth without surgery.
- Restores chewing and speech across the gap.

- Best for
- Multiple missing teeth where implants are not feasible, patients who prefer a non-surgical solution
- Planning
- Digital scan or impressions, bite registration, try-in step before final fabrication
- Comfort
- No surgery; adjustment period of one to two weeks while you adapt
Ask about removable denturesPatient benefits- Non-surgical replacement for multiple missing teeth.
- Restores chewing, speech and facial support.
- Lower upfront cost than implant-supported options.
- Easy to clean — taken out at night.
- Partial dentures preserve healthy remaining teeth.
- Best for
- Patients missing all or most teeth across an arch who want a fixed, non-removable solution
- Planning
- CBCT 3D imaging, digital scan, full-arch implant planning
- Comfort
- Implant surgery under local anesthesia; laughing gas on request
Ask about implant-supported fixed denturesPatient benefits- Fixed in place — not removable.
- Restores close to natural bite force.
- Preserves jawbone through implant stimulation.
- Looks and functions like a full set of natural teeth.
- Far more stable than a removable denture.
Planned with precision. Performed with care.
Every prosthodontic case at Madeel starts with a digital scan and a CBCT where bone or implant planning matters. We sequence the work — gum treatment first if needed, then any root canals, then the prosthodontic phase. For full-arch and complex cases we coordinate with the implant and gum treatment teams so the patient sees one plan, not three separate ones. Most crowns and bridges are delivered over two to three visits; full dentures take four to six.
Digital scan, not impressions
Crowns, bridges and most dentures begin with an intra-oral digital scan instead of putty trays. The scan is more accurate, more comfortable, and faster — and the restoration is designed against your actual bite from day one.
Fixed first, removable when it makes sense
Where bone and budget allow, an implant-supported fixed solution gives the best bite and the best long-term outcome. Removable dentures are still the right answer in plenty of cases — and when they are, we make them fit properly.
Material chosen for the load
Zirconia for back teeth that take heavy bite force. E.max or layered porcelain for front teeth where translucency matters. Cobalt-chrome frameworks for partial dentures that need to be slim and strong. The material follows the case.
Adjusted, not delivered
Dentures and full-arch work need adjustment after the first weeks of use. We build review appointments into the treatment plan, not as an afterthought.

Treatment plan covering crowns, bridges, dentures or implant-supported options.
- 04
Tooth preparation under local anesthesia for crowns and bridges.
- 05
Fabrication in the lab and try-in steps.
- 06
Final fit, bite adjustment and bonding or seating.
- 07
Review appointments to adjust and confirm long-term comfort.
Why a planned prosthesis beats a quick replacement.
A crown that does not match the bite, or a denture that does not fit properly, fails the same way: discomfort, looseness, and trouble eating. Prosthodontic work is precision work. The planning and the adjustments are the difference between something that lasts a decade and something you replace in two years.
- Restores chewing, speech and facial support.
- Crowns and bridges colour-matched to natural teeth.
- Implant-supported options give a fixed, stable replacement.
- Removable dentures remain a workable answer when implants are not.
- Stops surrounding teeth from drifting into the gap.
- Long-term protection against further bite collapse.

Common questions.
Direct answers to the questions patients ask before booking — pain, sedation, recovery, and the steps from consultation to result.
If the tooth is still there but heavily damaged, a crown saves it. If the tooth is missing and the neighbouring teeth are healthy and untouched, an implant is usually the better choice. A bridge is the right answer when the neighbouring teeth need crowns anyway or when an implant is not feasible due to bone.
With normal care, crowns and bridges last 10–15 years, and often longer. The two main things that shorten that are grinding without a night guard, and decay starting at the margin if hygiene slips. Routine cleanings catch problems early.
For some patients, yes — they are non-surgical, lower cost, and a reasonable answer when implants are not feasible. They are not as stable as a fixed implant solution, and they take an adjustment period. We'll be straight with you about what they can and cannot do.
Well-made dentures should not. Shade, shape, position and the way they support the lip are all set during the try-in step, where you see and approve the teeth in wax before they are finalised. The most common cause of obviously-fake-looking dentures is skipping that try-in stage.
After an adjustment period of one to two weeks, yes — soft foods and most normal meals. Very hard or sticky foods take more care. An implant-supported fixed denture handles a wider range of foods more comfortably than a removable one.
An implant-supported fixed denture is anchored to four or six implants and stays in your mouth permanently. A removable denture sits over the gums and comes out at night. The fixed option gives near-natural bite force and stops bone loss; it costs more and requires surgery.
Usually the bone underneath has resorbed and changed shape over time, which is normal. The denture can often be relined to fit the new gum shape. If it has been loose for years, an implant-supported solution may be a better long-term answer than another reline.
Yes for removable dentures — taking them out at night lets the gum tissue rest and recover, and you can clean them properly. Implant-supported fixed dentures stay in; you brush them like natural teeth.
