Why choose specialist prosthodontics?

Choosing specialist prosthodontics means placing your smile in the hands of an expert who has undergone years of additional, intensive training beyond dental school. While a general dentist handles a wide range of routine care, a prosthodontist like Dr. Sunie Kundi focuses specifically on the architecture of the mouth, mastering the complex relationship between your bite, jaw function, and aesthetics. This specialised expertise is invaluable when dealing with missing or severely damaged teeth, as it ensures that restorations aren’t just beautiful, but are also engineered to be durable and perfectly balanced within your mouth. By choosing a Prosthodontist in New Malden, you are investing in a higher level of precision and a tailored treatment plan designed to provide long-lasting, functional results that a standard dental approach might not be able to achieve.

What prosthodontic dentistry involves and when it is recommended

Prosthodontics is the branch of dentistry specifically focused on the design, manufacture, and fitting of artificial replacements for teeth and other parts of the mouth. The prosthodontist is essentially the architect of a dental restoration plan, ensuring that every crown, bridge, or implant fits perfectly within your unique bite and facial structure.

Prosthodontic treatment is often recommended when:

• Replacing missing teeth: Using advanced solutions such as dental implants, high-strength ceramic bridges, or custom-fitted partial and full dentures.
• Restoring damaged teeth: Repairing severely worn, broken, or decayed teeth with high-aesthetic crowns or porcelain overlays.
• Complex full-mouth reconstruction: Coordinating multidisciplinary care for patients who need a complete overhaul of their oral health and appearance.
• Cosmetic enhancements: Replacing failing or discoloured restorations, such as old composite veneers, with minimally invasive, natural-looking porcelain alternatives.

By choosing a specialist in prosthodontics, you are opting for a higher level of precision that focuses on both the long-term durability of your dental work and the natural beauty of your smile.

Does prosthodontic treatment hurt?

It is perfectly natural to feel a bit of apprehension before any specialised dental procedure. The good news is that modern prosthodontics is designed with patient comfort as a top priority.

At Groves Dental Centre, our Specialist Prosthodontist in New Malden, Dr. Sunie Kundi, is highly regarded. Here is what you can expect regarding comfort during your treatment:

• Pain-free procedures: For most restorative treatments, such as preparing a tooth for a crown or placing a dental implant, we use effective local anaesthetics to completely numb the area. You may feel some slight pressure, but you should not feel any pain.
• Post-treatment management: Once the numbness wears off, it is common to experience some mild “tightness” or sensitivity, similar to the feeling after a deep filling. This is usually easily managed with standard over-the-counter painkillers and typically settles within a day or two.
• A focus on precision: Because prosthodontists use advanced technology and meticulous planning, restorations are designed to fit your bite perfectly. This precision reduces the need for “trial and error” adjustments, which makes the recovery process much smoother.
• Comfort-first environment: We take the time to explain every step of the process. If you are particularly anxious, Dr. Kundi and the team can discuss various relaxation techniques to ensure you feel calm and in control throughout your appointment.
