Question 1

What does a prosthodontist do, and when should I see one?

Accepted Answer

A prosthodontist is a dentist with an additional 3-year MDS specialisation in restoring and replacing teeth. You should see one when you have missing teeth (single tooth or multiple), broken or heavily filled teeth that need crowns, worn-down teeth that are affecting function or appearance, ill-fitting dentures, or when you want a comprehensive smile-design treatment. For routine fillings and cleanings, a general dentist is right; for prosthetic, implant and full smile work, a prosthodontist gives a meaningfully better outcome.

Question 2

Can crowns, bridges and implants really be fitted at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All the steps in crown, bridge and implant work can be done at your home in Hyderabad by Dr. Sanjana: initial examination, tooth preparation, impressions or intraoral scanning, temporary restoration placement, and final fit of the permanent crown, bridge or implant crown. The lab fabrication happens at a dental lab (this is the same for home and clinic dentistry). Multi-visit cases like implants (where a healing period is required between placement and crown loading) are scheduled around your calendar with home visits at each step.

Question 3

I have several failing teeth. Where does someone like me start?

Accepted Answer

Start with a diagnostic home visit. Dr. Sanjana will examine every tooth, take intraoral photos, and give you a written treatment plan that lays out the options in order of priority, with costs. For patients with multiple failing teeth, a phased plan is usually the right approach: address anything urgent first (infection, pain), then restore or replace the missing/failing teeth in a sequence that makes clinical and financial sense. Nothing is started without your written approval, and for larger plans EMI is available through Bajaj Finserv.

Question 4

How does Dr. Sanjana handle nervous or bedridden patients?

Accepted Answer

Prosthodontic work often involves multiple visits and detailed dental procedures, which can be daunting for anxious patients. Dr. Sanjana's approach is to explain every step in advance, work at the patient's pace, and use the home environment itself to reduce anxiety. For bedridden patients, she performs the work bedside where possible, adjusting position and technique to the patient's comfort. She is comfortable with elderly, anxious, special-needs and bedridden patients, and takes as much time as each patient needs.

Question 5

Is Dr. Sanjana qualified and registered to practise prosthodontics in India?

Accepted Answer

Yes. She holds a BDS from Army College of Dental Sciences (2016) and an MDS in Prosthodontics from Mamata Dental College (2022), and is registered with the Telangana State Dental Council under registration number A-521. Her credentials and registration are carried to every home appointment as part of the Prudentoe transparency policy.
