By Service
General Checkup & Cleaning
How often should I get a dental checkup?+
Most patients should visit every 6 months for a checkup and cleaning. If you have gum disease, diabetes, or are undergoing orthodontic treatment, we may recommend more frequent visits.
Does professional cleaning damage tooth enamel?+
No. Professional scaling removes plaque and tartar from the tooth surface without harming enamel. Any temporary sensitivity afterward usually settles within a day or two.
Root Canal Treatment
Is root canal treatment painful?+
With modern local anaesthesia, root canal treatment is generally no more uncomfortable than getting a filling. Most of the pain patients associate with root canals actually comes from the infection beforehand, which the treatment relieves.
How many visits does a root canal take?+
Most root canals are completed in one to two visits, depending on the tooth and severity of infection. A crown is often recommended afterward to protect the treated tooth.
Tooth Extraction
How long does it take to heal after an extraction?+
Initial healing takes about 1-2 weeks. Complete bone and gum healing can take a few months, but most patients return to normal activity within a couple of days.
Dental Implants
How long do dental implants last?+
With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, dental implants can last 15-25 years or longer. The implant itself often lasts a lifetime, while the crown may need replacement after 10-15 years of wear.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?+
Most adults with adequate jawbone density and healthy gums are candidates. We assess bone health with an X-ray and review your medical history during a consultation before recommending implants.
Braces & Orthodontics
At what age should a child first see an orthodontist?+
The Indian Dental Association generally recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age 7, so developing bite issues can be caught early, even if active treatment starts later.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?+
Treatment typically ranges from 12 to 24 months depending on the complexity of the case, the patient's age, and the type of appliance used.
Teeth Whitening & Cosmetic Dentistry
Is professional teeth whitening safe?+
Yes, when performed by a dentist. We control the concentration and application time, and protect your gums, which is safer and more effective than unsupervised home kits.
Crowns, Bridges & Dentures
What's the difference between a bridge and an implant?+
A bridge replaces a missing tooth by anchoring to the teeth on either side, while an implant stands independently in the jawbone. We'll recommend the best option based on your bone health and adjacent teeth.
Pediatric Dentistry
When should my child's first dental visit be?+
The first visit is recommended within 6 months of the first tooth appearing, or by the child's first birthday, whichever comes first.
Gum Treatment
What are the early signs of gum disease?+
Bleeding while brushing, persistent bad breath, and red or swollen gums are early signs. Catching gum disease at this stage (gingivitis) is fully reversible with proper treatment.
