FAQ's

Mild discomfort is normal, especially after adjustments or when switching aligner trays. Treatment time varies:

• Braces: Usually 18–24 months 

• Aligners: 6–18 months depending on case severity

A dentist or hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and surface stains using ultrasonic scalers and polishing tools. It’s painless and takes 30–45 minutes. Recommended every 6 months for oral health maintenance.

Teeth whitening involves applying bleaching agents (usually hydrogen peroxide) to lighten tooth color. In-clinic procedures are safe when done professionally. Overuse of DIY kits can cause sensitivity or enamel damage.

Extractions may be required when a tooth is: 

• Severely decayed or broken 

• Infected and beyond saving 

• Impacted (like wisdom teeth) 

• Causing crowding or bite issues

Dentists ensure the procedure is painless using local anaesthesia.

Wisdom teeth are often removed if they’re: 

• Impacted (stuck in the gums) 

• Causing pain, infection, or damage to nearby teeth 

• Difficult to clean

Not all wisdom teeth need extraction if they erupt properly and remain healthy.

Smile designing is a cosmetic procedure that combines multiple treatments (veneers, whitening, reshaping, orthodontics) to improve the appearance of your smile. It's ideal for people with gaps, discoloration, uneven teeth, or gummy smiles.

Veneers are thin shells of porcelain or composite bonded to the front of teeth to improve their shape, color, and alignment. They’re commonly used in smile makeovers and are long-lasting with proper care.

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth using neighboring teeth for support. Implants are anchored into the jawbone. Bridges may be faster and more affordable, but implants are more permanent and don’t involve adjacent teeth.

Full mouth rehabilitation involves restoring or replacing all teeth in the mouth using a combination of procedures like crowns, bridges, implants, RCTs, and dentures. It’s done in cases of extensive damage or wear.

Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth. They can be: • Complete dentures (for all missing teeth) • Partial dentures (for a few missing teeth)

Modern dentures offer improved fit, comfort, and appearance.

Laser dentistry uses focused light energy to perform procedures like: • Gum contouring• Frenectomy • Ulcer treatment • Teeth whitening

Benefits include minimal pain, faster healing, and reduced bleeding.

Sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of molars to prevent decay. They're especially beneficial for children and teenagers, but adults without decay can benefit too.

Mild discomfort or tenderness for a few days is normal. Avoid chewing on the treated side until the final crown is placed. Good oral hygiene and regular follow-ups ensure long-term success.

• Braces: Avoid sticky, hard, or chewy foods.

• Aligners: You can eat normally after removing them, but brush before putting them back.

Maintain oral hygiene to prevent cavities during treatment.

Aligners apply gentle, controlled pressure on specific teeth, moving them gradually into alignment. Each set is worn for 1–2 weeks before switching to the next. They’re effective and nearly invisible.

Many cosmetic treatments like veneers, crowns, and smile makeovers are long-lasting but not always permanent. Longevity depends on materials used, your oral habits, and maintenance. Regular check-ups help extend their life.
