Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure used to treat an infected or damaged tooth. It involves removing the infected or damaged pulp from the inside of the tooth and then cleaning, shaping, and filling the root canals to prevent further infection.

Dental Crowns & Bridges

A dental crown is a tooth-shaped cap that is placed over a damaged or decayed tooth to restore its shape, strength, and function. It is typically made of materials such as porcelain, ceramic, or metal and is custom-made to fit your tooth precisely. Dental crowns are often used to treat teeth that have large cavities, fractures, or other forms of damage that cannot be repaired with fillings.


A dental bridge, on the other hand, is a prosthetic device that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. The bridge is anchored in place by attaching it to the adjacent teeth or dental implants. The most common type of bridge is a traditional bridge, which involves creating a crown for the teeth on either side of the gap and attaching a false tooth (or teeth) in between. Bridges are typically made of porcelain,ceramic, or metal alloys and are custom-made to fit your mouth.


Tooth Filling & Tooth Removal

Tooth fillings are dental restorations used to repair teeth that have been damaged by decay, wear, or trauma. The procedure involves removing the decayed or damaged portion of the tooth and filling the cavity with a material such as amalgam, composite resin, porcelain and cements.


Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. It is a common dental procedure that is often used to treat teeth that are severely decayed or damaged, infected, impacted, or crowded. In some cases, tooth extraction may also be necessary for orthodontic treatment. 

Teeth Whitening / Bleaching

Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental procedure that aims to lighten the color of teeth by removing stains and discoloration caused by aging, smoking, and certain foods and drinks.


In-office teeth whitening involves a dental professional applying a whitening solution to your teeth and using a special light to activate the solution. This process can usually be completed in one or two appointments.

Dental Cleaning

Dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis or Scaling & Polishing, is a preventive dental procedure that involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. Dental cleaning is typically performed by our dentist and involves several steps:


1. Scaling: The hygienist or dentist will use special instruments to remove plaque and tartar from the surface of the teeth and around the gumline.


2. Polishing: After scaling, the hygienist or dentist will use a polishing tool and a special paste to remove any remaining stains from the teeth and make them smooth.


3. Flossing: The hygienist or dentist will use dental floss to clean between the teeth and remove any remaining plaque or food particles.


4. Fluoride treatment: The hygienist or dentist may apply a fluoride treatment to the teeth to help strengthen the tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay.


Dental cleaning is an essential part of maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems. It is recommended that adults receive dental cleaning every six months, although the frequency may vary depending on a person's oral health needs. Children may require dental cleaning more frequently, especially if they are at high risk of developing tooth decay or gum disease.

Dental Cosmetics / Smile Designing

Dental cosmetics refers to a range of dental procedures that are primarily focused on improving the appearance of a person's teeth, gums, and smile. The goal of dental cosmetics is to create a more aesthetically pleasing and confident smile by addressing issues such as discoloration, misalignment, gaps, chips, and other dental imperfections.


Some common dental cosmetic procedures include teeth whitening, veneers, bonding, braces or clear aligners, gum contouring, and dental implants. Teeth whitening is a popular and non-invasive procedure that involves removing stains and discoloration from the teeth to achieve a brighter and whiter smile. Veneers, on the other hand, are thin, custom-made shells that are placed over the front of the teeth to improve their appearance and hide imperfections.


Composite Bonding / Composite Veneer is a process that involves using tooth-colored resin material to repair chips, cracks, or gaps in the teeth. Braces or clear aligners can be used to straighten crooked teeth or correct bite issues. Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure that involves reshaping the gums to create a more proportionate and symmetrical smile. Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth, providing a natural-looking and functional replacement.


Overall, dental cosmetics can improve a person's self-confidence and overall appearance, leading to a happier and more fulfilling life. It's important to consult with a qualified dental professional to determine the best treatment options for your specific needs and goals.

Full Mouth Reconstructions

Full mouth reconstruction is a comprehensive dental treatment plan that aims to restore or rehabilitate a patient's oral health, function, and aesthetics. This procedure involves the use of multiple restorative and cosmetic dental treatments to address various dental issues, such as missing teeth, tooth decay, gum disease, bite problems, and more.


The process of full mouth reconstruction usually starts with a comprehensive dental examination and diagnostic imaging to determine the patient's dental needs and create a customized treatment plan. The treatment plan may include a combination of procedures, such as dental implants, bridges, crowns, veneers, dentures, periodontal therapy, and orthodontic treatment.

Child Dental Care

Child dental services typically include a range of preventive, diagnostic, and treatment services designed to maintain good oral health and address any dental problems that may arise. Here are some common child dental services:


1. Dental exams: Regular dental exams are important for detecting any dental problems early and preventing them from becoming more serious. During a dental exam, the dentist will examine your child's teeth, gums, and mouth, and may take x-rays to check for cavities or other dental issues.


2. Teeth cleaning: A dental cleaning involves removing plaque and tartar from your child's teeth to prevent cavities and gum disease. The dentist will use special tools to clean your child's teeth.


3.Fluoride Treatment: Fluoride treatment is a preventive dental procedure that involves applying a concentrated fluoride solution to the teeth to help prevent tooth decay and strengthen tooth enamel making it acid attack resistant


During a fluoride treatment, the dentist will apply a fluoride gel or foam to the teeth using a brush or tray. The fluoride is left on the teeth for a few minutes, and then the child is instructed to spit out the excess fluoride solution. The child should avoid eating or drinking for at least 30 minutes after the fluoride treatment to allow the fluoride to fully absorb into the teeth.


Fluoride treatments are safe and effective for children and are typically recommended every six months as part of a regular dental check-up. Children who are at high risk of tooth decay, such as those with a history of cavities or who consume a diet high in sugar, may benefit from more frequent fluoride treatments.


It's important to note that while fluoride is safe and effective in preventing tooth decay, excessive fluoride intake can cause a condition called fluorosis, which can cause white or brown spots on the teeth. To prevent fluorosis, it's important to use fluoride products as directed and supervise young children when brushing their teeth to ensure they don't swallow toothpaste or other fluoride products.


4. Dental fillings: If your child has a cavity, the dentist will remove the decayed portion of the tooth and fill the space with a dental filling to restore the tooth's shape and function.


5.Pit and Fissure Sealant: Pit and fissure sealants are a preventive dental treatment that can help protect children's teeth from cavities. The chewing surfaces of the back teeth (molars and premolars) have tiny grooves and pits that can be difficult to clean with a toothbrush, making them more susceptible to tooth decay. A pit and fissure sealant is a thin, protective coating that is applied to these surfaces to fill in the grooves and pits and make them smoother and easier to clean.


The process of applying pit and fissure sealants is quick and painless. The dentist will first clean and dry the teeth, then apply an acid solution to the chewing surfaces to help the sealant bond to the teeth. The sealant is then applied to the teeth and hardened with a special curing light.


Pit and fissure sealants are most commonly used for children's permanent back teeth, which typically come in between the ages of 6 and 12. They are typically recommended as soon as the back teeth have fully erupted, but can also be used on baby teeth in some cases. Sealants can last for several years with proper care and maintenance, but may need to be replaced if they become chipped or worn.


Sealants are a safe and effective way to prevent tooth decay in children and can help reduce the need for more invasive dental treatments such as fillings and root canals. They are also more affordable than many other dental treatments, making them a cost-effective way to protect your child's oral health.


6. Root canals: In some cases, a deep cavity or injury can damage the tooth's pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels. A root canal is a procedure in which the dentist removes the damaged pulp and fills the space with a filling material to save the tooth.


7. Orthodontics: Orthodontic treatment is used to correct problems with the alignment of the teeth and jaws. Common orthodontic treatments for children include braces and retainers.


8. Emergency dental care: If your child experiences a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or severe toothache, you should seek emergency dental care right away. The dentist can provide immediate treatment to relieve pain and prevent further damage to the teeth.


By taking your child to the dentist regularly and practicing good oral hygiene habits at home, you can help ensure that your child has a healthy smile for life. Child dental care is very important for maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems such as cavities, gum disease, and tooth decay.


It's important to find a dentist who can provide a comfortable and welcoming environment for your child. Talk to Dr.Sudhakar (MDS) who is professional and provide comfortable,faster and compassionate care to your child.

Braces/Aligners Treatment

What are Dental Braces?

Dental braces are orthodontic devices that are used to straighten and align teeth. They consist of brackets, wires, and bands that work together to apply gentle pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the correct position.


How the Conventional Braces Procedure Done?

The brackets are attached to the teeth using a special adhesive, and the archwire is threaded through the brackets. Elastic bands or ties are used to hold the archwire in place.


When the Braces are indicated?

Braces can be used to correct a variety of dental issues, including crooked or crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Treatment typically lasts for several months to a few years, depending on the severity of the problem and the individual patient's needs.


What to be done after getting braces?

Regular check-ups and adjustments are required during the course of treatment to ensure that the braces are working properly and the teeth are moving as planned. Good oral hygiene, including brushing and flossing regularly, is also important during this time to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.


What are the types of dental braces and aligners available?

1. Traditional metal braces - These are the most common type of braces and consist of metal brackets, wires, and rubber bands. They are very effective at correcting a wide range of dental problems, and can be customized with different colored bands.


2. Ceramic braces - These are similar to traditional braces but the brackets are made of clear or tooth-colored materials, making them less visible than metal braces.


3. Lingual braces - These braces are similar to traditional metal braces, but the brackets are placed on the back of the teeth facing the tongue, making them less visible.


4. Self-ligating braces - These braces use a sliding mechanism rather than elastic bands to hold the archwire in place, reducing friction and allowing for faster treatment times.


5. Clear aligners / Invisalign aligners - These are clear, removable trays that gradually move the teeth into the correct position. They are often used for mild to moderate orthodontic problems and are less noticeable than traditional braces.


What are the benefits of getting braces?

1. Improved appearance - Braces can help to improve the appearance of your smile by straightening crooked or misaligned teeth, and closing gaps between teeth.


2. Better oral health - Straighter teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems.


3. Improved bite - Braces can help to correct overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other bite issues, which can improve jaw function and reduce the risk of jaw pain and headaches.


4. Enhanced speech - For some people, misaligned teeth can cause speech problems. Braces can help to correct these issues and improve speech clarity.


5. Increased self-confidence - A straighter, healthier smile can increase self-confidence and self-esteem, leading to improved social and professional opportunities.


Clear Aligners / Invisalign / Transparent or Clear braces :

Clear aligners are a type of orthodontic treatment used to straighten teeth and correct various dental misalignments, such as crowding, spacing issues, and mild to moderate bite problems. They are a popular alternative to traditional metal braces for individuals who want a more discreet and convenient way to improve their smile.


Here's how clear aligners work:

1. Customization: A dentist will scan or take impressions, X-rays, and photographs of your teeth to create a 3D model of your mouth.


2. Treatment plan: Using the 3D model, the dental professional will map out the desired movements of your teeth throughout the treatment process.


3. Aligner fabrication: Based on the treatment plan, a series of clear, removable aligners are custom-made to fit your teeth precisely. Each aligner is slightly different from the previous one to gradually shift your teeth into the desired position.


4. Wearing the aligners: You'll be instructed to wear each set of aligners for about 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (except for water), brush, and floss.


5. Progression: Approximately every one to two weeks, you'll switch to the next set of aligners in the series. As you progress through the aligners, your teeth will move closer to their final positions.


6. Monitoring: Regular check-ups with your orthodontist or dentist are necessary to ensure the treatment is progressing as planned and to make any necessary adjustments.

     It's essential to wear the aligners as prescribed by your dental professional for the treatment to be effective. The total duration of clear aligner treatment varies depending on individual needs and complexity, but it typically lasts several months to over a year. Clear aligners have become increasingly popular due to their effectiveness and aesthetic advantages, but they may not be suitable for severe orthodontic issues, in which case traditional braces or other orthodontic treatments may be recommended.


Why INVISALIGN is expensive than other clear braces?

Invisalign typically costs 2-3 times more than traditional braces, with prices being particularly high in India due to importation from the USA and associated lab fees paid by the doctor. In the UK & US, Invisalign can cost almost triple as compared to India.


Although cheaper alternatives to Invisalign exist, they often lack the extensive research and treated case database that Invisalign offers. As a pioneer in aligner technology, Align Technology, the company behind Invisalign, invests significantly in research, giving it a competitive edge of about 20 years ahead of its cheaper competitors. This advanced research enables Invisalign to tackle complex cases effectively, whereas cheaper alternatives may lead to compromised results and dissatisfaction.

Our Invisalign team consistently invests in upgrading his knowledge and skills in Invisalign treatment, staying current with the rapidly evolving technology. Utilizing resources like the Invisalign Online Global Gallery and their extensive database of treated cases, Our Invsalign team ensures that each patient receives tailored treatment with predictable outcomes.


Teeth-straightening is a once-in-a-lifetime investment that should be done using the best available method. Invisalign offers superior results compared to alternatives, thanks to its patented SmartTrack material and advanced manufacturing process involving Invisalign 3D printers, ensuring consistent and reliable outcomes.


Only certified orthodontists provide Invisalign treatment, guaranteeing the highest standards of care. Each aligner carries a globally recognized patient identification number (PID) and features the Invisalign logo, confirming authenticity and quality assurance throughout the treatment process.

We have Flexible Payment Plans to reduce financial burden on our Patients.


Overall, braces can have a significant impact on both your oral health and your overall well-being. If you have dental issues that can be corrected with braces, it may be worth considering this orthodontic treatment to achieve a straighter, healthier smile.


Dr. Sudhakar(MDS) and her expert team can help you decide which type of braces is best for your specific needs and goals. She consider all the factors and your preferences when recommending a treatment option for your problem.

Dental Implants

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed in the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge. They are made of titanium or other materials that are compatible with the body and can fuse with the bone over time.


The process of getting dental implants typically involves several steps, including a consultation with a dental specialist, the placement of the implant into the jawbone, a healing period to allow the implant to fuse with the bone (osseointegration), and the attachment of a prosthetic tooth or bridge.


Dental implants are often used as a long-term solution for individuals who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or other factors. They offer several benefits over traditional tooth replacement options, such as dentures or bridges, including improved chewing ability, a more natural appearance, and greater durability.


However, not everyone is a good candidate for dental implants, and the success of the procedure depends on several factors, such as the patient's overall health, the location of the missing tooth, and the quality and quantity of the jawbone. It is important to consult with a dental professional to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you.


Types of Dental Implant Prosthesis:

1. Single-tooth implant: As the name suggests, this is an implant that is used to replace a single missing tooth. A crown is attached to the implant to create a natural-looking replacement tooth.


2. Implant-supported bridge: This type of prosthesis is used when multiple adjacent teeth are missing. The implant acts as the anchor for the bridge, which is a set of replacement teeth that are connected and supported by the implant(s).


3. Implant-supported denture: This is a type of denture that is supported by implants rather than resting on the gums. The denture is secured to the implants with attachments, providing better stability and preventing it from slipping or shifting in the mouth.


4. All-on-4 implant-supported denture: This is a specific type of implant-supported denture that uses four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of teeth. This option can be a good choice for patients who have lost all of their teeth in one or both arches.


5. Implant-supported overdenture: This is a removable denture that is secured to the implants with attachments. Unlike a traditional denture, an overdenture is more stable and does not rely solely on suction or adhesive to stay in place.


Benefits of Dental Implants:

1. Improved appearance: Dental implant prostheses are designed to look and feel like natural teeth, providing a more natural and aesthetically pleasing appearance. They can improve your smile and boost your self-confidence.


2. Improved speech: Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures can affect your speech, making it difficult to pronounce certain words or sounds. Dental implant prostheses can improve your ability to speak clearly and confidently.


3. Improved comfort: Unlike traditional dentures, dental implant prostheses are anchored to the jawbone, providing better stability and preventing discomfort or irritation.


4. Improved eating: Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures can make it difficult to eat certain foods. Dental implant prostheses can improve your ability to chew and enjoy a wider variety of foods.


5. Improved oral health: Dental implant prostheses do not require the removal of healthy tooth structure, as is the case with dental bridges. This helps preserve the surrounding natural teeth and promotes better long-term oral health.


6. Long-lasting solution: Dental implant prostheses are a durable and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for many years and even a lifetime.


Overall, dental implant prostheses offer a natural-looking, comfortable, and long-lasting solution for missing teeth, providing numerous benefits for patients seeking to improve their oral health and overall quality of life.


It's important to note that the type of dental implant prosthesis used will depend on various factors, such as the patient's oral health, the location and number of missing teeth, and their lifestyle and preferences.
