Treatments & comfort
What dental treatments are available?
We offer general dentistry, cleaning and preventive care, root canal treatment, dental implants, crowns and restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, orthodontic care, gum treatment, dentures, wisdom tooth care and emergency dental care.
How do I know which treatment is right for me?
Suitability depends on a clinical examination and your individual needs. Dr. Ankita Reddy will walk you through the options, benefits and limitations during your consultation so you can make an informed choice.
Is dental treatment painful?
Modern dentistry is designed to be comfortable. Local anaesthesia numbs the area for procedures that would otherwise hurt, and you can tell the dentist at any time if you need a pause. Mild soreness afterwards is common and usually manageable.
I am nervous about the dentist. Can you help?
Yes. Dental anxiety is very common. Tell us at the start, and we will explain each step, go at your pace and pause whenever you need to.
Do you treat children and older adults?
Our general dental care is available to patients of different ages. Please call us to discuss your child's or family member's specific needs so we can plan the visit appropriately.
Emergencies & aftercare
Do you treat dental emergencies?
The clinic is listed as offering emergency dental services. For severe pain, swelling, a knocked-out tooth or injury, call +91 85209 62855 immediately for guidance and availability.
What should I do if a tooth is knocked out?
Pick it up by the crown, not the root. If clean, gently try to place it back in the socket; otherwise keep it in milk or saliva (not water) and reach a dentist within the hour. Call us on the way.
How often should I get a dental check-up?
Most people benefit from a check-up and cleaning about every six months. Your dentist may suggest a different interval based on your gum health, cavity risk and any ongoing treatment.
How can I keep my teeth healthy between visits?
Brush twice daily with a fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth once a day, limit how often you snack on sugary foods and avoid tobacco. Our dental blog has detailed guides on each of these.
