Questions, answered.
A quick guide to the most common questions patients ask before visiting CÉDAR DENTISTRY in Sector 38, Gurugram.
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, restored with a natural-looking crown, bridge, or denture. Suitability is confirmed with our 3D scanning and digital OPG imaging.
Are dental implants painful?
Implant procedures are performed under local anaesthesia and computer-guided precision. Most patients report only mild pressure during placement and minimal, manageable discomfort afterwards.
When should a child first visit the dentist?
A first visit is recommended around the first birthday or within six months of the first tooth appearing. Dr. Gauri Kalra specializes in gentle, positive introductory visits to prevent dental fear.
How can cavities in children be prevented?
Regular brushing twice daily, professional fluoride applications, pit-and-fissure sealants, dietary advice, and biannual preventive checkups significantly minimize childhood cavity risks.
Braces or clear aligners?
Braces suit many complex bite movements, while clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and comfortable. Our specialists assess your bite and advise the best fit.
When is root canal treatment needed?
Root canal treatment is needed when deep decay, cracks, or trauma reach the inner tooth pulp. Dr. Jyoti Rana performs painless root canals to save natural teeth and relieve toothache.
Are Saturday and Sunday appointments available?
Yes, Saturday and Sunday visits are available by appointment to accommodate busy family schedules. You can book online or contact our clinic.
