We recommend that you have a check up every six months so that any early decay or any other problem in the soft tissues of your mouth can be spotted before it gets the chance to cause a lot of damage. The examination also makes sure that your gums are healthy; as in later years most teeth are lost to gum disease.

Radiographs/X-Ray allows the dentist to see the inside of the teeth and bone.
We use the most advanced technique of x- ray imaging known as – “DIGITAL RADIOGRAPHS”.

The greatest advantage of this equipment is:

• Instant radiographs. These can be viewed on a computer monitor immediately. Hence it saves time which was spent in developing the x-rays, in the conventional x-ray systems.
• One hundredth the exposure is used in this x- ray technique. We have our patients’ safety & health on the top of our priority list.

Introduction of Dental implants has brought about a revolution in the field of dentistry. Dental implants have opened new doors for patients who otherwise had very limited treatment options.

What is a Dental Implant? 

Dental Implants is a titanium screw which is inserted in the bone to replace a single tooth or several teeth in the mouth without disturbing the adjacent teeth. 

How is it superior to a conventional Crown/Bridge?

Dental Implant is inserted directly into the jaw bones making it part of the body and thereby replicating the lost tooth. Once the Implant completely settles in the jaw bone, a crown is placed on top of it. The whole process is carried out independently without compromising the adjacent teeth as in the case of a bridge. Also this is the only treatment option available for replacing missing teeth at the end of the arches when no supporting tooth is present.

Orthodontists are Dental Specialists, who undergo special training and hence braces treatment should be taken by an Orthodontist and not general dentist.

Orthodontic treatment involves correction of irregular/crooked teeth. Age plays an important role in deciding the commencement of the treatment, however with newer appliances treatment is possible at almost all ages. But a problem corrected at the right time makes the treatment stable/simple and prevent long treatment duration.

There are two broad categories of patients seeking orthodontic treatment

1. Children (age 8 years and above.)
2. Adolescent/young adults.

Once the cavity becomes so deep that pulp/nerve of a tooth has become infected, we have limited choices.

The problem with delaying treatment is that an infected tooth will never heal on its own leading to infection of jawbone. The pain may become excruciating. It could emerge as a huge swelling in your face/ neck which disfiguring, painful and sometimes even life threatening.

Root treatment involves the removal of the nerve from the tooth by drilling a hole in the top surface of the tooth. The root is cleaned out with disinfectants and fine instruments. The root canal is then dried and a filling placed inside the complete root of the tooth.

After the root canal treatment is done crowns are placed onto the tooth. The crown covers the entire tooth, protects it from the biting forces. At the same time it allows the tooth to chew & function normally.

Crowns may be made from several different materials:

1. Gold
2. Stainless steel
3. Full ceramic –PROCERA, IPS IMPRESS Procera Crowns
4. Ceramic fused to metal.

There are a lot of myths and misconceptions regarding wisdom teeth and their removal.

Many a times there is limited space at the back of the mouth. As the wisdom teeth are the last to erupt they may jammed in between the second molars and the bone at the back of the jaw and cannot therefore erupt fully. Technically such teeth are called as “impacted teeth”.

Full dentures are meant for persons who have lost all of their teeth. Dentures are custom made for each patient. With the advanced technology and superior materials that we use in our practice, it is almost impossible for the average person to differentiate between full dentures and natural teeth.

Complete dentures mimic the color and appearance of your natural teeth. The unique impression of your teeth, bite, and the shape of your jaw shape will be used to create the dentures.

When decay eats away the tooth, a hole remains. The dentist needs to clean the damage caused to the tooth & to “fill” up this hole produced by the decay.

Children’s milk teeth start to erupt at around 6-8 months of age. Decay and infection in the milk teeth can spread to the forming permanent teeth underneath. Hence, it is important that your child has a good diet and the sugar intake is controlled. The permanent teeth start erupting in the mouth at around 5-6 years of age. From this point it is even more important to ensure that your child has good oral health.

We, at our clinic emphasize on “prevention” of disease, rather than “correction”.

We stress upon preventive and interceptive dentistry from an early age for all our patients. This helps in early diagnosis of any developing problem, its quick stoppage or minor correction; rather than a lengthy, complicated and expensive treatment.

• Oral Prophylaxis/ cleaning & polishing of teeth every 6 months regularly from the age of 6 years including topical fluoride application.
• Cavity preventing procedures – pit & fissure sealants for children starting from 7 yrs onwards.

Afraid Patient

Many people don’t attend the dentist because they are scared. We have several methods of helping patients who have high levels of anxiety.
