The objective of this study was to determine the level of patient satisfaction among the crown and bridge patients who received treatment in the Dental clinic at IBN Sina National College for medical studies, Jeddah during the period between 2015– 2018. Materials and Methods: 250 patients wearing fixed prosthesis were interviewed and questionnaires were filled by the researchers. The questionnaire included the subjective perception of treatment with fixed prosthesis, patients’ perception of clinical outcome, regarding esthetics, masticatory function, and speech, along with patient’s attitude toward oral hygiene measures. Results: Results showed that 46% of the patients were extremely satisfied with their fixed prosthesis, while only 35.2% of patients were just satisfied and 6.8% were not satisfied. With regard to concern with esthetic outcome, 82% of patients showed that they were satisfied with the esthetic appearance. A highly significant number of patients did not use any form of interdental aids’ to clean their fixed prosthesis (84%). Conclusion: A high percentage of patients were satisfied with their fixed prosthesis, however, majority of the patients showed a lack of knowledge regarding post fixed prosthodontics instructions and the significance of maintenance of fixed prosthesis using dental aids’
