Services Offered
Many people suffer from dental anxiety, and this makes them defer a visit to the dentist. At Dental Creations we work consciously towards creating a positive patient experience for you. We have created a calm and inviting atmosphere where patients receive top-notch dental care. To help you relax during the procedures, you can choose music & movies of your choice in the operatories and a few jokes for good measure will calm those nerves and make your experience with us a pleasant one.
YOUR FIRST VISIT
Your first visit is of utmost importance to us, as it will stay with you forever. Your teeth aren’t our only concern. Research has linked overall health to dental wellness, so we focus on the wellbeing of your whole oral system, including your mouth, gums, teeth and bite. By determining the cause of your problems and correcting the underlying issues, we can restore the harmony and stability of your mouth for the long term.
During your first visit, you will complete necessary paperwork and then meet with our dentist. Data will be collected through a series of comprehensive examinations allowing us to get a complete picture of your state of oral health. Our examinations include x-rays, oral cancer screening (if required), review of your current medical health history, screening for periodontal disease, and charting of existing dental conditions. Once we understand your unique situation, we will formulate a plan to maintain and improve your oral health. Our goal is to ensure that your teeth are functionally strong and that you have a beautiful smile for life.

Smile Makeovers - A brilliant smile can positively impact your personal and professional life. Don’t let dull, chipped, or stained teeth hold you back. A smile makeover is a custom made combination of cosmetic and restorative dentistry treatments for the purpose of creating a more attractive smile. This can include porcelain veneers, tooth colored fillings, tooth bonding and recontouring, alterations of gum architecture, implants, porcelain crowns, and teeth whitening. Our cosmetic dental office can refresh your smile and open doors to the best that life has to offer.
-
Laminates & Veneers – They are thin shells of porcelain that are permanently bonded to your teeth. .Veneers are the most aesthetic alternative for a variety of dental conditions like correction of spaces between teeth, broken or chipped teeth, stained or discoloured teeth that can’t be bleached, and crooked or misaligned teeth
-
Teeth Whitening / Bleaching - Professional teeth whitening is the safest and fastest way to whiten your teeth. Appreciable results can be observed in as less as 1 hour. We offer combined in-office and at-home teeth bleaching procedures that provide the best results available. The procedure involves using a scientifically formulated gel to gently penetrate the teeth, thereby safely removing long-standing stains and discolourations. The bleaching agent is safe and will leave the structure of the tooth unaltered.
-
Cosmetic bonding & contouring - We believe in conservative cosmetic dentistry. If minor aesthetic teeth changes are all that is required cosmetic bonding and contouring offers a conservative approach. These minor tooth alterations can change the appearance of your smile dramatically. Most commonly, composite resin material is applied and sculpted to enhance individual teeth that might be discoloured, chipped, or maligned. However, cosmetic contouring can be as simple as smoothening rough edges of sharp teeth to improve comfort and appearance.
-
Dental Jewellery – If you need a dash of dazzle to your brilliant smile for that special occasion, dental jewellery is what you’re looking for. Intricate pieces of diamond or Swaroski of various shapes, sizes & colours are bonded to the tooth surface. These can also be removed at a later point of time.
-
Crown Lengthening & De-pigmentation - These are subtle gum procedures carried out to enhance the smile. Crown lengthening involves increasing the length of the visible portion of the teeth seen in the ‘smile-window’ so as to blend with the visible gummy portion of the smile.
De-pigmentation involves removing the ugly black-brown pigmentation on your gums which disrupts the harmony of your beautiful smile thereby leaving behind an acceptable pink gum line.
-
Theatrical dentistry – This involves changing the alignment of the teeth temporarily for an actor/actress so as to make her look suitable for the role he/she is playing. E.g. artificial spacing between teeth, buck teeth etc.
-
Restorative dentistry
A spectacular smile begins with healthy teeth. Decayed, broken, and missing teeth compromise your oral health and damage self-esteem. With comprehensive restorative dentistry, we look at the big picture. Instead of just repairing individual teeth we can transform even the most difficult cases into beautiful works of art keeping in mind the functional aspects of your teeth.
-
Crowns & Bridges – If you have a fractured or a grossly destructed tooth, cracked fillings, or a large area of decay, a crown, also called a cap, is suggested. Crowns reinforce tooth structure and can save a severely damaged tooth from extraction. Modern materials enable us to place crowns that blend with your natural teeth and improve the overall function of your teeth.
A fixed bridge is non-removable & a better alternative to a removable denture for replacement of one or more missing teeth. Adjacent teeth are used as a support for the missing teeth that are being replaced with the help of crowns.
-
Tooth Coloured Fillings - Many silver and gold fillings and new areas of dental decay can be replaced with durable and aesthetic tooth-coloured fillings. A tooth-coloured filling is made of composite resin which is directly bonded to your tooth. A seamless & natural restoration can be achieved for the correction of broken or chipped teeth & even spaces between teeth in a single sitting with this material. It is often superior to less cosmetic materials like silver and gold because it bonds to enamel and requires less removal of natural tooth structure.
-
Dentures – These are removable appliances used to replace missing teeth consisting of a solid row of false teeth anchored to a gum-coloured base. Dentures can be customized to give your smile a natural look and feel. If you only need some of your teeth replaced, a partial set of dentures can be fitted. Once your mouth adjusts to the prosthetic teeth, you will be reintroduced to the simple pleasures of daily life such us chewing, speaking, and smiling with confidence.
-
IMPLANTS
Dental Implants are an exciting technology that have been used in our practice ever since its inception. These are titanium posts used for replacement of the root of a missing tooth or teeth and provide the foundation for a crown, bridge or dentures. Implants have helped hundreds of patients achieve tooth replacement without damaging adjacent teeth or living with cumbersome removable dentures. Dental implants improve chewing comfort and stop adjacent teeth from shifting positions. They have the added benefit of preventing further bone loss where a tooth was removed, thereby avoiding weakening of the jawbone and caving-in of facial structures.
-
FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION
Full mouth rehabilitations are done not just for cosmetic reasons, but more often to restore missing teeth, tooth function and speech.
Full-mouth reconstruction includes patients with TMJ disorders, multiple missing teeth, extensively damaged teeth, bite abnormalities, crooked or crowded teeth, advanced gum disease, inability to chew properly, and compromised esthetics. Full-mouth reconstruction restores the teeth and the bite and the proper support of the facial structures with the help of a combination of dental implants, tooth bonding, veneers, fillings, crowns, dentures and removable or fixed bridges. Our goal is to rebuild a smile that will serve you well for the rest of your life.
-
Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment, also called Endodontic treatment, involves relieving tooth pain by removing the nerve tissue located in the centre of the tooth and root. This is not a surgical procedure and no gum tissue is affected. The newer methods of local anaesthesia ensure none to minimal discomfort during & after the procedure. A final restoration of the concerned tooth with a filling or a crown is required to protect the structural integrity of the tooth. Once a root canal procedure is finished, it is essential to have the final restoration completed promptly to ensure that the tooth is not exposed to any bacterial breakdown.
-
HABIT BREAKING APPLIANCES
Certain habits like bruxism (involuntary grinding of teeth), snoring, thumb sucking or Temporo-mandibular joint disorders over a long period of time can have delirious effects on the general well-being of a person. Habit breaking appliances like nightguard or biteguard along with counselling can help a patient lead a normal healthy life.
-
GUM PROCEDURES
Gum procedures involve care, maintenance & repair of the ‘pink’ supporting tissues in our mouth along with underlying bony support. These can vary from simple cleaning procedures to more complex surgeries, depending upon the severity of the problem.
-
Gum / Teeth Cleaning & Polishing – Also known as ‘scaling & root planing’. It’s a simple oral care procedure aimed towards maintenance of proper oral hygiene. An annual or bi-annual scaling procedure is a must for every living mouth. To end it all the teeth are polished to leave behind healthy and sparkling smile.
-
Gum Surgeries – People who neglect their mouths by not getting a regular clean-up end up with severe periodontal problems involving loosening of teeth due to loss of bony support or unusual drifting of the teeth due to weakening of the supporting bone. Extensive gum surgeries might be required to remove the diseased tissues & leave behind healthy teeth.
-
Treatment for Halitosis (Bad Breath) – The causes for halitosis can range from local causes like a badly maintained oral cavity or systemic causes like digestive problems. We counsel the patrons, after knowing the history, on their dietary habits, advice them on oral hygiene protocol & periodic check-ups.
-
WISDOM TOOTH REMOVAL
Surgical extraction of an impacted wisdom tooth (3rd molar) can be carried out in our fully equipped centre. Normally, it is a simple surgical procedure, performed in our dental operatory under conventional local anaesthesia. In more complex cases, the services of an Anaesthetist might be utilized for administration of general anesthesia in the best interest of our patrons.
-
ORTHODONTICS (BRACES)
A beautiful, healthy smile and improved self-image are a few benefits of orthodontics.
We offer orthodontic care for the whole family that focuses on fixing bite problems and straightening teeth. It involves correction of badly aligned teeth into a favourable position with the help of brackets & straightening wires. Without treatment, orthodontic problems can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, bone loss, speech or chewing impairment, digestive disorders, and unnecessary tooth loss. Options like traditional metal braces, invisible braces or braces with interesting shapes & colours allow us to find the right treatment to fit your specific condition.
-
PAEDIATRIC DENTISTRY
‘Prevention is better than cure’ is a dictum we follow very closely. That’s precisely the reason why we have started the ‘Kids Prevention Club’ to help expecting & young mothers understand how to take care of their children’s teeth & encourage their children to do the same when they are old enough to do it on their own.
-
Fluoride Application – The benefits of fluoride in creating resistance to dental decay during the formative years of the teeth is well documented. A systematic fluoride application programme is carried out for children at regular intervals as a preventive therapy to make their teeth resistant to dental decay.
-
Pit & Fissure Sealants – The anatomy of children’s teeth may sometimes work against them & make their teeth susceptible to dental decay. Sealants are used to make the pits & fissures on their teeth ‘shallow’ thereby preventing unnecessary lodgement of food and future tooth decay.
-
Single sitting procedures under General Anaesthesia / Conscious Sedation – In case of extensive procedures to be carried out in a child’s mouth or in case of an uncooperative child, the services of an Anaesthetist might be required for administration of general anaesthesia. All the dental procedures are then carried out in that single sitting in the best interest of the child.
-

THEATERICAL DENTISTRY
A sure shot way of altering one’s appearance is to change the appearance of the teeth to match the facial expression and facial makeover. Think Dracula!!
Dental changes, be it temporary or permanent can be used in conjunction with more obvious and dramatic changes in costume, makeup and hair to signify the character played. Print ads, theatre or films may demand certain changes in the dental appearance of an artist to ‘get into the teeth of the character’. We have helped many of our patrons slip into their screen roles with much ease.
