Vimal Dental Clinic

Most parents believe that the baby / milk teeth are not important and it is ok to loose them. This is NOT TRUE. Each tooth has a purpose and needs to stay in the mouth. Sometimes there is decay that extends all the way to the root and cannot be salvaged. No root canal. No filling. We would extract but will fabricate a space maintainer. To hold the space till the permanent tooth comes in to that place. Rightfully reserved!

Often a tooth is lost due to decay. In this case what seemed like a small cavity on the side of the teeth was actually burrowing all across the back. A conservative approach was adopted but the tooth needed a Root Canal anyway. Months later the tooth fractured since it was not restored with a crown (or onlay which we prefer in our practice) Many patients often neglect this aspect once the pain has disappeared. The crown should be placed as soon as possible to avoid these kind of fractures. In our case the patient traveled abroad and we too waited a bit longer to ensure symptoms had subsided. In any case... it seems to have turned out OK with a functional tooth replaced.

There is a revolutionary new technology to treat root canals called the SAF or Self Adjusting File which is very conservative of the internal anatomy and structure of the tooth. We are proud to be one of the very few clinics in the country that provide this treatment. Come and experience the SAF'est root canal technique employing effective modern technology!

Have you ever wondered about root canals and what exactly a root canal treatment is? Do you fear getting a root canal done? Would you say that the prospect of an RCT "root canal treatment" scares you?  You needn't feel bad... a LOT of people feel the same way. Many a times, most people are apprehensive since they are under the impression that this procedure is A} painful B} takes many sittings  Well, in root canal treatment, the tooth is treated for infection and all the diseased tissue of the tooth is removed and filled. With good treatment the pain should disappear in a few days. Remember that root canals can be done in “ single-sittings ” and when done with adequate local anesthesia (injection) they are pretty much pain free ! Amazing isn't it? And at the end we would expect a beautiful result like some of the following examples.

DENTAL DECAY AND BLEEDING GUMS Tooth Decay is one of the most common diseases affecting the oral cavity. Dental caries is a highly prevalent condition, especially among children. In most cases, improper hygiene leads to food deposition on the tooth. This in turn is acted upon by harmful bacteria thus releasing acid that dissolves the tooth structure. In most cases, the decay starts on the outside of the tooth and gradually reaches the inner layers. Gum Disease and Bad Breath. One would think that if you are decay-free you have a healthy mouth. However, overall oral health requires healthy gums as well. They cover the teeth and provide anchoring support to the jawbones. Minor infection ( gingivitis ) can progress to a severe condition ( periodontitis ) which causes teeth to shake and even fall out!I It is one of the main causes of bad breath or halitosis too. Swelling of the gums gradually leading to spontaneous bleeding is the first sign of trouble. This can be managed...

Dr Darshan Parikh Also known as an OVD or "Over Denture" this is increasingly becoming the standard of care for edentulous patients the world over. If someone has no teeth left and is looking forward to having some measure of comfort while eating, this would be the best option. A minimum of two implants and more depending on bone availability (here we managed three fixtures) means the denture can clip on to the support / struts provided and this helps the denture become a lot more stable.  The other huge advantage is that as the patient eats, forces are transferred to the jaw bone and this makes a world of a difference as far as patient comfort is concerned. Of course, if you have the bone density and material available more implants could even mean a fully fixed lower bridge!
