Frequently Asked Questions
Find transparent answers regarding our painless protocols, appointment rules, treatments, and post-operative care.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and wearing a night guard if you clench, high-grade E-Max® ceramic veneers routinely last between 15 to 20+ years without discoloration.
Are dental implants painful to place?
Not at all. Implants are placed under precise local anesthesia using minimally invasive computer-guided keyhole protocols. Most patients report feeling only gentle vibration and require nothing stronger than mild analgesics for 24-48 hours.
What should I do if a permanent tooth gets completely knocked out?
Handle the tooth ONLY by the crown (never touch the root). Gently rinse with milk or saline if soiled. If possible, gently place it back into the socket, or store it in cold milk or patient’s saliva, and reach our emergency clinic within 30-60 minutes for highest re-implantation success.
Can a root canal really be completed in a single sitting?
Yes. In over 90% of cases, modern endodontic therapy using high-torque rotary files, digital apex locators, and operating microscopes allows us to thoroughly disinfect and hermetically seal the root canal system in one 45-minute visit.
How often should I visit the dentist for a routine check-up?
We recommend visiting Dharma Dental Clinic every six months for a comprehensive oral examination, digital hygiene check, and ultrasonic prophylaxis to catch issues before they require complex intervention.
How many hours a day do I need to wear my Invisalign® aligners?
For optimal results, aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking warm beverages, brushing, and flossing.
