With modern technique and local anesthesia, root canal treatment at Rahat Dental Care is virtually painless — most patients report far less discomfort than they expected.

Most root canals are completed in 1 to 2 sessions per tooth, depending on the case's complexity and whether a crown is needed afterward.

Yes, pulpotomy and pulpectomy procedures are safe, gentle options for children who need root canal treatment on baby or permanent teeth.

With a proper crown placed afterward and routine care, a root-canal-treated tooth can last a lifetime.

Persistent tooth pain, lingering sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, or a darkening tooth are all reasons to get examined.

Yes. Implants are placed using sterile protocols and precise planning, making them a predictable and well-established way to replace missing teeth.

With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, dental implants commonly last 15 to 25 years or longer.

Adults with healthy gums and adequate jawbone density are usually good candidates. A short consultation and X-ray will confirm what's right for you.

Healing and osseointegration (bone fusing to the implant) typically take 3 to 6 months, depending on the case.

Yes — single implants, implant-supported bridges, and full-arch overdentures are all options depending on how many teeth need replacing.

For mild to moderate misalignment, aligners give results comparable to braces, with the added benefit of being removable and far less visible.

Yes. Aligners come out before eating or drinking anything other than water, so there are no food restrictions like there are with fixed braces.

You may feel mild pressure for a few days after adjustments, but modern appliances and gentle techniques keep discomfort minimal.

Yes, professional in-clinic whitening under a dentist's supervision is safe for most teens and adults, unlike unsupervised DIY bleaching.

Yes, whitening is often paired with veneers, braces, or aligner treatment as part of a complete smile makeover plan.

Yes — shade matching and careful shaping ensure whitening, veneers, and gum contouring blend naturally with your smile.

No — composite fillings are shade-matched to your natural teeth, so they blend in and are barely visible.

With good care, composite fillings typically last 7 to 10 years before they may need to be checked or replaced.

No — local anesthesia is used, so the procedure itself is comfortable, with only mild sensitivity possible for a day or two afterward.

Yes — worn amalgam or composite fillings can be safely removed and replaced with new, durable, tooth-colored material.

With composite fillings, you can generally eat as soon as the numbness wears off; there's no need to wait for the material to harden.

Every six months is the standard recommendation for most adults and children, though patients with gum disease or frequent cavities may need more frequent visits.

A checkup covers an oral examination, digital X-rays where needed, scaling and polishing, and guidance on your home oral hygiene routine.

No — routine checkups and cleanings are painless. Some patients notice mild sensitivity during deep cleaning if gums are already inflamed.

Yes — six-monthly visits help catch early cavities, monitor jaw growth, and build comfortable dental habits from a young age.

A standard checkup with cleaning usually takes 30 to 45 minutes, depending on whether X-rays or extra scaling are needed.
