Prosthodontics
Restoration and aesthetics of your smile at Polyclinic.ae
Modern Standards of Prosthodontics
At Polyclinic.ae, prosthodontic dentistry is about restoring both function and beauty.
We help patients regain natural chewing ability and a confident smile.
Our doctors provide personalized solutions for every case — from ceramic veneers to correct shape and color, to durable crowns that protect weakened teeth, and inlays/onlays that serve as long-lasting alternatives to traditional fillings. All restorations — crowns, veneers, and inlays — are made in our own dental laboratory, right inside the clinic.
This ensures precise fit, faster turnaround, and direct collaboration between dentist and technician for the most natural and aesthetic results.
Same-Day Crowns with CEREC Technology
One of the technologies we’re especially proud of is CEREC — an advanced 3D milling system that designs and fabricates your crown in a single visit.
This means no temporary crowns, no repeat appointments — just precision and convenience.
How it works:
- The doctor performs digital scanning instead of traditional impressions.
- A 3D model of your tooth is designed on the computer.
- The crown is milled from a solid ceramic block right in the clinic.
- Within a few hours, your permanent crown is placed and ready to use.
This method ensures accuracy, comfort, and speed — with a beautifully natural result that lasts for years.

Stages of Prosthodontic Treatment
Frequently Asked Questions
- When is a crown needed?
-
A crown is used when a tooth is severely damaged, weakened after root canal treatment, or needs full restoration of shape and strength. It acts like a protective shell that restores both function and aesthetics.
- What’s the difference between a crown and a veneer?
-
A veneer covers only the front surface for aesthetic correction.
A crown covers the entire tooth and is used when it needs full protection and reinforcement. - Can a veneer repair a chip?
-
Yes. Veneers are ideal for fixing small chips or cracks on front teeth while maintaining a natural look.
- What is an inlay and when is it used?
-
An inlay (or onlay) is a custom-made restoration that replaces large portions of damaged tooth structure.
It’s stronger and longer-lasting than a filling. - Which material is better — ceramic or zirconia?
-
Ceramic offers the most lifelike aesthetics, ideal for front teeth.
Zirconia provides superior strength and is perfect for molars.
We often combine both for the best balance of beauty and durability. - What is CEREC and why is it beneficial?
-
CEREC allows us to create and fit a permanent ceramic crown in a single appointment.
You walk in with a damaged tooth — and leave with a beautiful new one the same day. - How long do crowns and veneers last?
-
Typically 10–15 years, or even longer with good oral hygiene and regular check-ups.
- Are crowns and veneers covered by insurance?
-
Cosmetic restorations are usually not covered, but we offer direct billing and help verify your coverage options with your insurance provider.
- Can everything be done in one visit?
-
Yes, with CEREC, single crowns can be completed in 1–2 hours.
Veneer cases or multiple restorations may require several visits for design and customization.
