Prosthodontics Specialist care, Palarivattom
When teeth are broken, worn down or missing, the question is not only how to fill the space but how the new teeth will bite, look and last. A prosthodontist is the specialist who rebuilds and replaces teeth, from one crown to a full set.
At 32 Sparkles Dental Clinic in Palarivattom, Kochi, crowns, bridges, dentures and the prosthetic stage of implant and full mouth treatment are planned by our MDS prosthodontist, Dr Krishnapriya. Clinical protocols are overseen by our founder, Dr Nikita Menon, a dentist with 19+ years of clinical experience.

01 Our team
Prosthetic work at our clinic, meaning anything that rebuilds or replaces teeth, is planned by one specialist who also checks the bite at every fitting.
Plans and fits crowns, bridges and dentures, and the final teeth on implants and in full mouth rehabilitation.
For implant cases, Dr Krishnapriya works with our founder and implantologist, Dr Nikita Menon, who places the implants. For teeth that need a root canal first, our endodontists treat the tooth before the crown is made.
02 Overview
A prosthodontist is a dentist who has completed a three-year MDS in prosthodontics: restoring and replacing teeth so they work and look natural. The training covers materials, the mechanics of the bite, and how the jaw joints and muscles respond when tooth shapes change. In India the specialty is often called prosthodontics and crown and bridge.
A general dentist places most single crowns. The prosthodontist is brought in when the work is complex: several teeth at once, a worn or collapsed bite, a front tooth that must match its neighbour exactly, complete dentures that keep coming loose, or the teeth that sit on dental implants. The aim is not only a tooth that fits, but a bite that is comfortable and lasts.
When more than two or three teeth need work, ask for a prosthodontist to plan them together; treating them one at a time often changes the bite piece by piece.
03 Conditions
A prosthodontist treats teeth that are damaged beyond a filling and spaces left by missing teeth. Many patients come after years of separate repairs that no longer fit together.

The prosthodontist's main treatments each have their own page with steps, timings and Kochi price ranges.
A cap that covers and protects a weak, cracked or root canal treated tooth.
A fixed false tooth held by crowns on the teeth either side of a gap.
Removable partial or complete sets of teeth for several or all missing teeth.
Larger cases are planned as full mouth rehabilitation, and teeth on implants as part of dental implant treatment with our implantologist.
We compare the options for your teeth side by side, with an estimate for each.
Call to compare optionsWhatsApp your question05 How we work
A prosthodontist plans backwards from the finished teeth. At 32 Sparkles Dental Clinic in Palarivattom, that planning has five parts.
Not just the damaged tooth: how the jaws meet, how the teeth wear against each other, and whether the jaw joints are comfortable.
X-rays, photographs and digital scans or impressions, so the new teeth can be designed against the opposite jaw.
For visible or larger work, a trial in wax or temporary material lets you see and test the shape before anything is final.
Teeth are prepared, recorded and fitted in stages, with the bite checked at each step.
A night guard is advised for people who grind, with reviews to catch wear or loosening early.
Ask to try the shape before the final teeth are made; a trial is the cheapest moment to change anything.
06 Cost
Prosthodontic costs in Kochi depend on the treatment and the material. A crown generally costs ₹3,000 to ₹30,000 per tooth, a bridge ₹2,500 to ₹18,000 per unit, and a denture ₹3,000 to ₹25,000 per jaw. These are indicative market ranges collected from Kochi clinics and published price guides, not a quotation from 32 Sparkles Dental Clinic.
| Treatment | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Crown, per tooth | ₹3,000 to ₹30,000 |
| Bridge, per unit | ₹2,500 to ₹18,000 |
| Partial denture, per jaw | ₹3,000 to ₹25,000 |
| Complete denture, per arch | ₹9,000 to ₹20,000 |
| Full mouth rehabilitation | Built up per tooth after planning |
Zirconia or all-ceramic materials, more teeth in the plan, trial restorations for front teeth, root canal or gum treatment first, and work on implants.
Metal or PFM on back teeth, treating a single tooth before it breaks further, and relining a good denture instead of making a new one.
Your final cost depends on several factors, including the number of teeth, the materials chosen and any treatment needed first. An in-person evaluation is required before we can give you an estimate.
Larger plans are usually paid in stages as each part is completed. Ask at the front desk whether EMI is available.
Ask for the plan to be priced in two materials; the difference is often large, and back teeth rarely need the most expensive option.
You get a written estimate for each option before treatment starts.

Given a plan for several crowns, a bridge or implants and not sure it is right? Send us the plan and your X-rays. Our prosthodontist will tell you plainly what is needed and what can wait.
Send your plan on WhatsApp08 Your visit
A first visit with the prosthodontist at 32 Sparkles Dental Clinic takes about 30 to 45 minutes. It covers your history, an examination of the teeth and bite, X-rays where needed and an outline of the options with costs.
Bring any old X-rays, your current denture if you wear one, and a list of past dental work. Tell us about grinding, jaw pain, diabetes and any medicines.
09 When to see one
See a prosthodontist when several teeth need rebuilding at once, when your bite has changed or teeth are wearing down, when front teeth must match exactly, or when a denture has never felt right. For a single crown on a back tooth, a general dentist is usually enough.
It is also worth seeing one before full mouth dental implants or a large bridge, because the final teeth decide where the implants or supports need to be, not the other way round.
10 Honest limits
A prosthodontist will suggest a different plan when the foundation is not ready. Crowns and bridges on teeth with active gum disease, untreated infection or too little tooth left above the gum tend to fail, however well they are made.
We also say so when a smaller treatment will do. Crowning healthy teeth to match a few damaged ones is rarely justified. We advise against the planned work when:
Ask which teeth in the plan are healthy; a careful plan touches as few sound teeth as possible.

15 Visiting Kochi
Crowns and bridges usually take one to two weeks and dentures three to four, so most single treatments fit into one visit home. Send us your X-rays and dates on WhatsApp first, and we will plan the appointments around your stay.
Larger rebuilds and implant teeth are usually split across two trips, with temporary teeth in between.
16 FAQ
A prosthodontist has a three-year MDS in restoring and replacing teeth, with a focus on how the bite works. Cosmetic dentistry focuses on appearance, and many cosmetic treatments are also done by prosthodontists.
Yes. Worn teeth can be rebuilt with crowns or onlays at a planned bite height, usually tested first in temporaries. A night guard protects the new work.
Not usually. A general dentist can place a single back crown. A prosthodontist helps when the crown is on a front tooth, or when several teeth are involved.
Often, yes. Old crowns with dark edges or a mismatched shade can be replaced, as long as the tooth underneath is healthy.
The implants are placed by our implant dentist, and the teeth that sit on them are planned and fitted with our prosthodontist.
A crown takes about a week, a bridge one to two weeks, dentures three to four weeks, and a full mouth plan several months.
Yes. A reline, a new denture made with more detailed records, or two implants under a lower denture can all improve the hold.
