Exceptional
Dental Care.
Without the fear.

Root canal treatment often gets a bad reputation, but the vast majority of our patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable recovery truly is.

Immediately After the Procedure

Your tooth will remain numb for 2 to 4 hours. Do not eat on that side until the numbness fully subsides to avoid accidentally biting your cheek.

Days 1 to 3: What Is Normal

Mild tenderness when biting is completely expected. Manage with prescribed pain relief. If you have severe throbbing pain, call us immediately.

Week 1 — What To Do

• Avoid hard or crunchy foods on the treated side
• Continue brushing and flossing normally
• Complete any prescribed antibiotics in full
• Avoid very hot or cold foods for 48 hours

Getting Your Crown Fitted

After RCT, a dental crown is essential — it protects the treated tooth which becomes more brittle over time. We schedule crown placement within 2 to 3 weeks. Do not delay this step.

Long-Term Success

With proper care, a root-canal-treated tooth with a crown can last a lifetime. Dr. Vikram Bajaj has a success rate exceeding 95% across 115,000+ procedures performed in Chhindwara.

Call Us If You Experience

• Severe pain worsening after 3 days
• Increasing swelling that does not subside
• Your temporary filling falling out
• Fever or general feeling of illness

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth — they look, feel and function exactly like your natural teeth for life.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A titanium screw placed into the jawbone acts as an artificial tooth root. After 3 to 6 months of bone integration, a ceramic crown is placed on top creating a permanent, natural-looking replacement.

Step-by-Step Process

• Consultation and X-Ray: Bone quality and gum health are assessed
• Implant Placement: Day procedure under local anaesthesia, 45 to 60 minutes
• Healing Period: 3 to 6 months for osseointegration
• Crown Fitting: Custom ceramic crown matched precisely to your other teeth

Aftercare

• Soft foods only for 2 weeks after surgery
• No smoking — it significantly reduces implant success rates
• Warm saltwater rinses twice daily
• Attend all follow-up appointments without fail

Dr. Pankaj, MDS Orthodontist at our Chhindwara clinic, shares an honest expert comparison to help you choose the right path for your smile.

Key Comparisons

• Visibility: Invisalign is nearly invisible. Metal braces are visible. Ceramic braces are a middle ground.
• Effectiveness: Braces handle complex bite corrections better. Invisalign is ideal for mild to moderate crowding.
• Comfort: Invisalign has no wires, no brackets, less irritation.
• Compliance: Invisalign requires 22 hours per day wear. Braces are fixed.
• Duration: Both typically 12 to 24 months.

Choose Invisalign If

You are a working professional who wants discretion, have mild to moderate crowding, and are confident about wearing aligners 22 hours daily.

Choose Braces If

You have complex bite problems, significant crowding, or are a younger patient where compliance with aligner wear may be challenging.

Many parents ask — my child's baby teeth will fall out anyway, why visit a dentist early? The answer is critically important for long-term oral health.

The Recommended Age

First dental visit by age 1, or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing. At Dr. Bajaj Dental Clinic we make these visits gentle, fun and completely anxiety-free.

Why So Early?

• Baby teeth hold space for permanent teeth — early decay or loss affects alignment
• Early detection of harmful habits like thumb-sucking
• Professional fluoride application prevents future cavities
• Builds comfort with dentistry, reducing lifelong dental anxiety
• Pit and fissure sealants at age 6 to 7 can prevent up to 80% of back tooth cavities

What We Offer for Children

• Fluoride application and dental sealants
• Tooth-coloured fillings for cavities
• Space maintainers for premature tooth loss
• Habit-breaking appliances
• Early orthodontic assessment from age 7

A Note for Parents

Never use the dentist as a threat. Stay calm yourself — children absorb parental anxiety instantly. Our team ensures every young patient feels safe and at ease.

Root canal treatment is one of dentistry's most technique-sensitive procedures. The choice of dentist matters enormously.

Look for a Certified Endodontist

Dr. Vikram Bajaj holds a Certificate Course in Endodontics — one of very few certified root canal specialists in Chhindwara district. A specialist brings significantly deeper expertise for complex cases.

Ask About the Technology Used

• Rotary endodontics: Machine-driven files for faster, more precise canal shaping
• Apex locator: Accurately measures canal length, reducing error
• Digital X-rays: Instant imaging with 90% less radiation
• Rubber dam isolation: Keeps the tooth completely sterile throughout

Volume and Experience Matter

Dr. Vikram Bajaj has performed over 15,000+ successful RCT procedures across 25,000 plus patients treated at our Chhindwara clinic.

Red Flags to Watch For

• Unusually low price quotations
• No X-ray taken before commencing treatment
• No rubber dam or visible sterile protocol
• Rushing through consultation without explaining the procedure

At Dr. Bajaj Dental Clinic we welcome every question and provide fully transparent pricing before we begin.
