Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are transparent trays made of special material which are used to straighten teeth just braces. They are custom made for each patient through a digital scan.
Root Canal Treatment
It is necessary when the center part within the tooth, known as the pulp, housing the blood vessels and nerves become infected or inflamed. RCT is performed to save a damaged tooth instead of extracting it. X-ray is taken to ascertain the amount of decay. Following this, anesthetics is given to make the procedure painless. The process of cleaning the infected pulp is carried out and then the root canals are filled. Crown is essentially given following Root Canal Treatment.
Rotary Endodontics
Rotary endodontics refers to the utilization of an electric hand piece instead of using traditional manual files and stainless - steel instruments to treat a root canal. This advanced technology provides more precision and reliability while being a quieter and faster procedure.
Flap Surgery

Basal Implants
Dental implants, when placed in the basal bone, can be immediately loaded with the prosthesis to perform their function as they engage the basal stable cortical bone. Basal implants can be used as an alternate in cases which require bone augmentation. It is probably the only treatment option available now for mucormycosis / cancer patients who have lost their teeth.
Children Dental Care
Even though baby teeth are eventually replaced with permanent teeth, keeping baby teeth healthy is important to a child’s overall health and wellbeing. Early tooth loss should be prevented for the sake of alignment of the permanent teeth. Fluoride application can be done on the surface of the teeth using fluoride varnish to prevent dental caries as the studies suggest that the fluoride interferes with bacterial adherence to the teeth.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry is virtually pain free. Lasers are used widely in dentistry to treat tooth decay and gum disease. Also, lasers are used for teeth whitening, removal of lesions, providing a blood free environment for surgeries.

Our Focus
Preventive Dentistry
Preventive dentistry is the practice of caring for our teeth to keep them healthy. This helps them to avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear and more. Everyone benefits from preventive dentistry. Oral health is connected to our body as a whole. This, in turn, can reduce our risk of secondary problems caused by poor oral health. Premature birth and low birth weight may also be linked to poor oral health. So, for this dental examination should be done at least once in a year.
Interceptive Dentistry
It is the procedure that eliminates or reduces the severity of malocclusion in the developing dentition. Screening for orthodontic problems is suitable in children between the age of 9-11 thereby eliminating habits, airway abnormalities and skeletal growth variations that contribute to malocclusion. Malocclusion can put the individual in risk of trauma or bullying. Skeletal problems, dental problems, soft tissue and habits are targeted by interceptive orthodontics.
