When it comes to restoring your smile and oral health, a general dentist may not always be enough. If you’ve experienced significant damage to your teeth, jaw, or oral structure, it’s time to consult a prosthodontist—a dental specialist in restoration and replacement.
At Quality Dental in New Lynn, our expert prosthodontist delivers world-class restorative treatments like crowns, bridges, dentures, veneers, and full-mouth rehabilitation with precision and care. Whether you’ve lost teeth due to decay, injury, or age, we are here to bring your smile—and confidence—back.
What is a Prosthodontist?
A prosthodontist is a highly trained dental professional specialising in the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth. While general dentists can perform basic restorations, prosthodontists undergo additional years of study and training in the following:
- Dental prosthetics and aesthetic restoration
- Jaw function, bite alignment, and oral structures
- Complex full-mouth reconstructions
- Advanced materials and prosthetic design
At Quality Dental, Dr. Hassan Ibrahim Ahmed, our in-house prosthodontist, combines technical expertise with advanced technology to offer long-lasting, natural-looking solutions that enhance both function and appearance.
Why Choose a Prosthodontist Over a General Dentist?
While general dentists can treat common dental issues, prosthodontists handle complex cases that require detailed knowledge of oral structures, prosthetic design, and facial aesthetics.
Here’s what sets prosthodontists apart:
1. Advanced Training and Accreditation
Prosthodontists undertake three additional years of specialist education after dental school, focused entirely on complex oral rehabilitation and prosthetics.
2. Custom Treatment for Complex Needs
They manage multiple missing teeth, full-mouth reconstructions, TMJ disorders, bone loss, and aesthetic facial balancing with tailored precision.
3. Collaboration and Leadership
Prosthodontists often lead interdisciplinary teams—including oral surgeons, periodontists, and orthodontists—to deliver coordinated care plans.
At Quality Dental, our prosthodontic services are backed by this deep knowledge and interdisciplinary insight, ensuring you receive only the most appropriate and effective treatment.
Our Prosthodontic Services in New Lynn
We offer a wide range of restorative and prosthetic solutions designed to suit your unique oral health situation and cosmetic goals. Whether you need a single crown or a full set of dentures, we’ve got you covered.
Dental Crowns
Crowns are custom-made “caps” that restore the shape, strength, and appearance of damaged teeth. They are ideal for:
- Severely decayed or fractured teeth
- Following root canal treatment
- Strengthening teeth with large fillings
- Aesthetic improvements (cosmetic crowns)
Our prosthodontist designs crowns that match your natural teeth, using zirconia, porcelain, or metal-fused ceramics depending on your needs.
Dental Bridges
If you’re missing one or more teeth, a dental bridge literally “bridges” the gap using the support of neighbouring teeth. Our bridges are durable, discreet, and designed for long-term use.
We offer:
- Traditional bridges
- Cantilever bridges
- Maryland bonded bridges
Each bridge is custom-fitted and crafted to restore both function and facial harmony.
Full and Partial Dentures
When multiple teeth are missing or need replacing, dentures are a cost-effective and practical solution. Our prosthodontist in New Lynn designs:
- Full dentures for complete tooth replacement
- Partial dentures when some natural teeth remain
With modern materials and improved techniques, today’s dentures are more natural-looking and comfortable than ever before.
Dental Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, custom shells that cover the front surface of teeth. They are often used in:
- Cosmetic makeovers
- Fixing minor chips and cracks
- Reshaping uneven teeth
- Brightening stained or discoloured enamel
Our prosthodontist ensures perfect colour matching and fit for a truly transformative smile.
Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
For patients with multiple dental issues—worn-down teeth, severe decay, missing teeth, bite misalignment—a full-mouth rehabilitation is often required.
This personalised process may include a combination of:
- Crowns and bridges
- Veneers
- Dental implants
- TMJ therapy
- Bite correction
The result is a completely revitalised mouth—functionally, structurally, and aesthetically.
