Most implants are made of titanium, known for its strength and ability to fuse with bone. Zirconia implants are a metal-free option for patients with allergies.

With proper care, implants can last 20 years to a lifetime. They're one of the most durable solutions in dentistry.

Yes. Our treatments use dentist-approved, enamel-safe formulas. No damage, no harsh abrasives.

Mild sensitivity is possible but temporary. We use desensitizing agents to keep discomfort minimal.

With good oral hygiene and minimal staining habits, results can last 6 - 12 months.

Avoid colored foods or drinks (coffee, wine, turmeric, etc.) for 24 - 48 hours post-treatment.

A root canal treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure used to save a tooth that is badly decayed or infected. At JP Dental Clinic, Koramangala, our specialists remove the infected pulp, clean the root canals, and seal the tooth to restore its strength and function.

You may need a root canal if you have: Severe toothache while chewing or biting Sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers Swelling or tenderness in the gums A cracked or decayed tooth Our dental team at JP Dental Clinic will perform an X-ray and examination to confirm if RCT is necessary.

No. Thanks to modern anesthesia and advanced techniques, a root canal at JP Dental Clinic is almost as comfortable as a regular filling. Patients may experience slight soreness afterward, but it can be managed with prescribed medications.

Most root canal procedures take 30 to 60 minutes. Some complex cases may need two visits, especially if theres an infection or multiple roots involved. We will always explain your options and customize the treatment to fit your needs. This procedure allows you to keep your original tooth and avoid complications from extraction or missing teeth.

After your RCT, the treated tooth is often covered with a dental crown to protect it from fractures and restore full chewing function. Our dentists will recommend the best crown option for long-lasting results.

With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups at JP Dental Clinic, and avoiding excessive pressure on the tooth help ensure longevity.

You should wear each aligner for 20 to 22 hours a day during your treatment for best results and a timely outcome.

No, you can usually eat what you want while in treatment because the aligners are removed when eating or drinking. Thus, there's no need to refrain from your favourite foods and drinks. However, it's recommended that you floss and brush your teeth after each meal and prior to re-inserting your aligners to maintain proper oral hygiene.

Except for cool water, we recommend that you dont drink while wearing the aligners. This is to avoid cavities and stains forming on your teeth, or warping your aligners with hot beverages.

You should remove your aligners to consume anything except for water. Leaving aligners on while drinking may stain them and you may risk developing tooth decay while consuming fluids with sugar in them.

We don't encourage smoking while wearing aligners because it's possible for them to become discoloured.

You should not chew gum while wearing your aligners as the gum may stick to the aligners. We recommend removing your aligners for all meals and snacks, including chewing gum.

It's very unlikely that your aligners will ever fall out, no matter what you're doing at the time (whether it's sleeping, talking or laughing). Aligners are designed to fit firmly on the teeth so this should not be a cause for concern.

Similar to other orthodontic treatments, the aligners may temporarily affect the speech of some people for a day or two. However, as your tongue gets used to having aligners in your mouth, any mis-articulation or minor speech impediment caused by the aligners should disappear.

It's important that you follow the treatment plan developed by us to ensure the best outcome. We will determine the recommended treatment duration for you depending on several considerations, including the spacing between your teeth and the need for retention.

We will plan and design the aligner treatment based on your requirement. In case, if you are relocating, then we deliver all the aligner at once and we assist you online and if required we refer you to our fellow orthodontist all over the globe.

The aligners are made of non-toxic, medical-grade plastic and can be worn during pregnancy. If you're concerned, please consult us for more information.

While Aligner treatment may move your teeth without the pain and anxiety of other straightening methods, some people might experience temporary, minor discomfort for a few days at the beginning of each new stage of treatment. This is normal and is typically described as a feeling of pressure. It's a sign that the aligners are sequentially moving your teeth to their final positions. This discomfort usually goes away a couple of days after you insert the new aligner in the series.

If you notice a sharp pain or have significant discomfort, contact us. We advise and prescribe you pain killers if required.. Please feel free to contact us..

Aligner treatment is contraindicated in patients with active periodontal disease. However, if you have periodontal (gum) disease, then we would not suggest you aligner treatment after diagnosing in the initial appointment. In rare instances, some patients may be allergic to the aligner material. If this occurs, discontinue use and Speak to us immediately. In rare instances, patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE), a genetic disorder, may experience rapid local swelling of tissues including the larynx. This may be triggered by mild stimuli including dental procedures. If this occurs, discontinue use and speak to us immediately.

It's recommended to visit us regularly to make sure your treatment plan is on track. If you need additional aligners due to travel periods, you can inform us well in advance so that we make arrangement according to your needs.

If required, we will fully remove the stained attachments and replace them.

Depending on your specific treatment, some of the movements may require either "attachments" or "ridges" to help the aligner grip the teeth. These bumps or wells are where the aligner grips the attachment that we place on your teeth. The attachments are actually small pieces of composite that we fix on to your teeth that are then gripped by bumps on your aligners. The ridges are slim indentations in your aligners. We will use one or both of these features to achieve the desired movement.

Aligners are virtually invisible and discreet, so most people will not even notice that you're wearing them.

You might be tempted to go for the most inexpensive toothbrushes while you are wearing braces, as the metal and wire will wear out the toothbrush. However, it is important to use a high-quality toothbrush while you have braces. (But ask your orthodontist for his recommendation before purchasing a new type of toothbrush or changing your routine.) An electric toothbrush can be a great option for getting your teeth clean while in braces. However, the duration of brushing and mechanics of using an electric toothbrush are not different from a manual brush, so don't purchase an electric toothbrush with the intention to cut corners. Electric brushes come in a variety of styles with different appliances, so your orthodontist can help you make the best decision about what brush is right for you. Battery-powered toothbrushes usually run on AA batteries, and rechargeable models usually feature a base that plugs into an outlet in the wall. Battery-powered toothbrushes are a cheaper option, typically ranging between 5 and 25, while rechargeables can range anywhere from 50 to 300. Electric toothbrushes offer many features, such as timers, pressure sensors, travel cases, multiple brush heads and adjustable settings. Typically the cost will be higher with a larger number of features. Decide which of the available brush features are most important to you. If you have never used an electric toothbrush, it might be best to start with an inexpensive model so that you can see if you prefer this method of brushing. Manual, soft toothbrushes also work just fine to clean the areas around your brackets. However, many professionals recommend the orthodontic cut, where the bristles are in a subtle "V" shape, with the middle bristles being lower than the outer bristles.

Before brushing, rinse your mouth with water to dislodge any food particles that are stuck to your braces. Make sure to swish for about 30 seconds. Also rinse your toothbrush before adding toothpaste, as this will shed debris and bacteria that may have lingered after your last brushing. If you're unsure which toothpaste to choose, here is a list of ADA-accepted toothpastes. Your mouth has four quadrants, and you should spend at least 30 seconds dedicated to each. The division on each side is from your first central tooth to your last molar. When brushers take the "all at once" approach, they are likely to miss key areas. Your instinct might tell you that the harder you brush, the cleaner your teeth will get. This is not necessarily true. In fact, brushing over your braces too hard could damage the brackets or wires. Some higher-end electric models will come with a sensor feature that shuts down if it detects too much force. While you brush, make sure you hold your toothbrush in the proper position-at a 45-degree angle, above the gum line. Brush the outer surfaces of your teeth and braces, remembering to scrub around each bracket and over its surfaces. Pay special attention to the back teeth, as these harder-to-reach molars are more prone to cavities. Using the same angle, brush the backs of your teeth that face your mouth and throat. Pay most attention to brushing down at the gumline, as this is where most tartar builds. Brush the biting portions of your teeth too. These are the tops of the teeth that you actually use to bite into food. Use a more circular motion that reaches around to the back of the tooth to clean all of the biting surfaces. Once you've completing a routine brushing, concentrate on the spaces between your braces. Insert the bristles from the top in between your braces and give each space a few solid strokes. Then insert the bristles from the bottom and do the same.

A rubber-tip gum massager-or gum stimulator-is a dental tool you may have seen at your past visits to the office. It looks like a slim metal rod in the shape of a number "7," wearing a pointed rubber cap on the end. The rubber tip has a fine point that wedges between each tooth at the gumline, helping to nudge out stubborn debris that flossing left behind. The good news is that you don't have to be a dental professional to use this appliance. It is relatively inexpensive-about the cost of a morning latte-and can really help your hygiene goals while in braces (and after). Place the gum massager under warm water for a few seconds to soften its tip. Then carefully run it along the gum line, going slightly between each tooth. Do not try to jam the tip between your teeth-its job is to break up debris right at the gumline. This appliance is NOT a substitute for flossing. After you've run the gum massager across your entire gum line-top and bottom-follow with a full rinse. You may even start to notice your teeth whitening in areas that are difficult to floss, because you are now removing an additional layer of plaque you were missing before.

When you think of oral hygiene, your teeth and gums are probably what comes to mind. But there is a large part of your mouth that people too often ignore, and that's the tongue. In fact, if you're suffering from halitosis (bad breath) half your problem could be coming from your tongue alone.

Unfortunately, flossing can be more of a challenge while wearing braces. But that doesn't mean you can skip it. Experts say that regular flossing is as essential as brushing. Too many people make the mistake of thinking their dental hygiene is "good enough" because they brush their teeth regularly. But because a toothbrush cannot reach the plaque between your teeth, tooth decay and gum disease may develop in those areas. You will likely need a strand of floss that is at least a foot long. You want to try to not reuse any part of the strand, but if that is not possible make sure to rinse the floss thoroughly before re-applying it. Carefully thread the floss under or over the main wire, and pull it through so there's enough slack on either end to grab it. Wrap the floss around the ends of your fingertips so that a tight strand forms between them. Gently push the floss down into the crease between your teeth, then slide it down into the gap. This will be easier or more difficult depending on the spacing between each set of teeth. Just make sure to take your time and do not thrust the floss down into your gums. Slide the floss up and down the side of each tooth and down into the gum to the point where it no longer moves but does not cause pain or bleeding. You want to use a scrubbing motion to remove the plaque from each side of the tooth. To remove the floss, just grab one end and slowly pull it through, as you will not be able to lift it over your wire. If you are having difficulty getting the floss under your wires, consider using a floss threader-a flexible piece of thin plastic with a large loop at the end. This utensil allows you to put your floss through the loop and pull the threader up and under the wire. Another option is a floss pick, which holds a small piece of floss together between two prongs. The end of the handle also comes with bristles you can use to clean your brackets. Your orthodontist may have recommend a type of dental floss

A water flosser-the most common brand being Waterpik-is a popular alternative to traditional dental floss, and is often recommended for braces-wearers because it eliminates the hassles of maneuvering floss around your wires and brackets. A water flosser is a hand-held device that you fill with warm water that streams out of a specialized tip. To use, simply trace it around your gum line. The pulse rate of the emitted water removes food particles and plaque very similarly to dental floss. Water flossers come in rechargeable and battery-operated models, and have a variety of tips to choose from. Determining the right one for you will depend on what feels more comfortable, along with what your orthodontist recommends.

Another option for people wearing braces-and everyone else-is known as a spiral dental, or interdental, brush. This is small, hand-held device contains a wire with bristles-available in a variety of sizes-designed to fit between the teeth. This essentially allows you to brush between your teeth. Because you insert them at the gumline, they are a convenient way around that pesky archwire.

No-just brush, floss, and schedule regular dental checkups.

Though rare, risks include infection, nerve damage, or implant failure. Success rates, however, are 95-98

Yes, but failures are rare. Smoking, gum disease, and poor hygiene increase the risk.

Absolutely. Implants are the closest thing to natural teeth, offering long-term value, comfort, and confidence.

Myth 1: Dental implants are painful - Fact: Most patients say it's less painful than a tooth extraction. Myth 2: Implants look fake - Fact: They look exactly like natural teeth. Myth 3: Only young people can get implants - Fact: Age isn't a factor; health is more important.

Daily Oral Hygiene Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush. Regular Check-Ups Visit your dentist every 6 months for professional cleaning. Foods to Avoid Stay away from chewing ice, hard candy, or anything that may chip the crown.

If you're looking for a long-lasting, natural-looking, and functional solution for missing teeth, dental implants are your best bet. They're safe, effective, and backed by decades of success. Speak with your dentist to see if you're a candidate today.

No. Thanks to modern anesthesia and advanced techniques, a root canal at JP Dental Clinic is almost as comfortable as a regular filling. Patients may experience slight soreness afterward, but it can be managed with prescribed medications.

The cost depends on: Which tooth is affected (front, premolar, or molar) Complexity of the infection Whether a crown is required JP Dental Clinic provides affordable and transparent pricing, discussed with patients before starting treatment.

Most teeth can be saved, but in cases of severe damage or insufficient tooth structure, extraction may be the only option. Our dentists always aim to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible.

The main alternative is tooth extraction followed by replacement options like implants, bridges, or dentures. However, preserving your natural tooth with RCT is always the preferred choice at JP Dental Clinic.
