BDS & MDS department
Department of Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge
What we teach and treat
Recreating smiles, restoring function, rebuilding confidence.
The department trains BDS students and offers the three-year MDS in Prosthodontics and Crown & Bridge. Led by experienced faculty, it combines academic research with hands-on clinical training to provide affordable, high-quality care — from custom crowns, fixed bridges and precision dentures to complex implant prosthodontics, full-mouth reconstruction and maxillofacial prostheses for patients with congenital or acquired facial defects. Its facilities include a fully upgraded, air-conditioned postgraduate wing and modern pre-clinical simulation laboratories, and its teaching places strong emphasis on ethics, research publication and evidence-based practice.
God creates… we recreate.
Behind every smile lies a story of precision, artistry and care — recreated with skill, passion and purpose.
