Having an aesthetically pleasing smile is not the be-all and end-all of restorative dentistry. Specialized dental treatments are essential to help you achieve not just a beautiful smile but also the full functionality of your oral cavity.
Tooth loss and erosion can be caused by a variety of factors including poor oral hygiene, teeth grinding, physical trauma, or genetics. Prosthodontics (also known as prosthetic dentistry) is the dental field that deals with the restoration and replacement of missing or damaged teeth.
From simple treatments to complex restorations, we at Dr. Nicolas & Asp Centers have a highly experienced team of specialist prosthodontists who conduct careful diagnosis to address and provide solutions for extensive tooth and oral tissue loss.
A prosthodontist is a dental specialist who completes three additional years of advanced training — beyond dental school — focused entirely on restoring and replacing teeth. While a general dentist handles routine care, a prosthodontist specialises in complex restorations: full-mouth rehabilitation, crowns and bridges, and smile makeovers. If your case involves multiple missing teeth, significant wear, or a full smile rebuild, a prosthodontist has the specialist training to plan and deliver the right solution.
You should consider seeing a prosthodontist when you have one or more missing teeth, heavily worn or broken teeth, an existing restoration that has failed, or you're considering a full smile makeover or full-mouth rehabilitation. Patients who have been told their case is “complicated” are often good candidates for specialist prosthodontic care. At Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers, our prosthodontists work closely with our specialist team across implantology, periodontics, and oral surgery — so complex cases are managed under one roof.
Our Specialist Prosthodontists offer a full range of restorative dental treatments, including dental crowns and bridges to restore broken, damaged, or missing teeth, dental implants, veneers, dentures, full mouth rehabilitation, and TMJ treatment. Treatment plans are tailored to your specific clinical needs and aesthetic goals following a thorough examination.
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case. A single crown can often be completed in two visits over a few weeks. Dental implants typically require several months to allow the implant to integrate with the jawbone before the final restoration is placed. Full mouth rehabilitation — which may involve implants, crowns, and gum treatment — is a staged process that can span six months to over a year. Your prosthodontist will outline a clear timeline during your consultation, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage.
Every insurance plan is different, so coverage varies. We're happy to help you check what your plan includes — and once treatment is confirmed, our team handles all pre-approvals and insurance paperwork on your behalf. Contact us on 04 394 7777 or visit any of our four Dubai centers to get started.
Yes. Dental implants are a core part of prosthodontic treatment. While the surgical placement of the implant may involve an oral surgeon or implantologist, it is the prosthodontist who plans the overall restoration — including the abutment and the crown, bridge, or denture that attaches to it. At Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers, our prosthodontists and implant specialists collaborate closely to ensure every implant case is both functionally sound and aesthetically precise.
Most prosthodontic procedures are carried out under local anesthetic, so you should not feel pain during treatment. Some sensitivity or mild discomfort in the days following certain procedures — particularly implant surgery or crown preparation — is normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Our team will talk you through what to expect before, during, and after your treatment. For patients with significant dental anxiety, sedation options are available at our centers.
