Dental Clinic in Nanganallur, Chennai

Are dental implant procedures painful? +

No. Placement is performed under precise local anesthesia, keeping it completely pain-free. Flapless, minimally invasive surgical protocols protect surrounding gum tissue, resulting in minimal post-operative soreness easily managed with mild medication.

Can a dental implant be placed immediately after tooth extraction? +

Yes, in many eligible cases. Immediate implant placement allows extraction and implant fixture placement in the exact same visit. We evaluate bone density and gum architecture using 3D CBCT imaging to confirm clinical suitability.

Why do my gums bleed when I brush or floss? +

Bleeding gums are typically the earliest sign of gingivitis (gum inflammation) caused by plaque accumulation along the gumline. If addressed early with professional scaling and gentle oral hygiene, it is completely reversible before progressing into periodontitis.

What causes sudden tooth sensitivity to hot or cold foods? +

Sensitivity occurs when protective enamel wears down or gums recede, exposing the underlying dentin tubules. It can also point to micro-cracks, deep cavities, or nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism). A diagnostic exam identifies whether desensitizing therapy, composite bonding, or a nightguard is needed.

How many visits does a root canal treatment take? +

Using modern rotary endodontics and digital apex locators, most standard root canal treatments are comfortably finished in a single 45- to 60-minute visit. If severe periapical infection is present, a brief follow-up visit may be scheduled to ensure complete microbial decontamination.

How long is recovery after wisdom tooth extraction? +

Most patients resume normal non-strenuous routines within 24 to 48 hours. Initial soft tissue healing takes 7 to 10 days. Avoiding smoking, vigorous spitting, and drinking through straws during the first 48 hours is vital to safeguard the protective blood clot.

How often should I get professional teeth cleaning? +

For most healthy smiles, a preventive cleaning every six months prevents hardened calculus (tartar) and bad breath. Patients with a history of periodontal disease or dental implants generally benefit from a 3- to 4-month maintenance schedule.

Do you accommodate dental emergencies or walk-ins? +

Yes. While pre-booked appointments allow unrushed care without waiting, acute emergencies—including intense tooth pain, broken front teeth, facial swelling, or lost crowns—are prioritized for same-day relief.

What should I expect during my first visit? +

Your initial visit focuses entirely on diagnosis and discussion. It includes intraoral digital imaging, periodontal screening, and a transparent review of treatment options with clear price estimates before any procedure begins.

Can I upload existing X-rays for an online second opinion? +

Yes. Patients seeking clarity on proposed implant treatments, full-mouth restorations, or extractions can share digital OPG or CBCT scans through our Online Second Opinion service for an independent, evidence-based review.
