General Questions
What happens during my first visit? Your first visit is a conversation and a check-up — nothing to be nervous about. Dr. Vaishnavi will examine your teeth, ask about concerns, and walk you through what she finds in plain language. Most patients leave feeling more informed and less worried than when they walked in. Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in? Walk-ins are welcome. Come in during working hours (Monday to Saturday, 10am to 8pm). If you’d like a specific time slot, booking via call or WhatsApp is always a good idea. Is the clinic hygienic and sterilised? Absolutely. All instruments are sterilised using an autoclave between every patient. Disposable items are used wherever possible and never reused. Will I see the same doctor every time? Yes. Dr. Vaishnavi personally handles all consultations and procedures. You won’t be passed between doctors or seen by a rotating roster. How do I know which treatment I need? You don’t have to figure that out before visiting — that’s what the consultation is for. Dr. Vaishnavi will examine your teeth and give you a clear, honest recommendation.
Each answer above offers honest guidance and reassurance, so you feel prepared before you ever sit in the chair.
Root Canal Treatment
Q1: Is root canal treatment painful? The procedure, when done under proper anaesthesia, is not painful. What hurts is the infection — and RCT is what ends that pain. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the appointment is. Q2: How many sittings does a root canal take? Most straightforward cases can be completed in a single sitting. More complex cases may require two appointments. Q3: How much does root canal cost in Chennai? The cost depends on which tooth and extent of infection. Book a consultation for a clear cost breakdown with no surprises. Q4: What happens after a root canal — do I need a crown? In most cases, yes. A crown protects the tooth and restores it to full function. Without a crown, there’s a real risk of the tooth fracturing.
Each answer is designed to ensure you know what to expect and can make decisions with confidence.
Dental Implants
Q1: Am I a suitable candidate? Most adults with missing teeth are suitable. Key requirements: healthy gums, adequate bone density, good overall health. A thorough examination will give you a definitive answer. Q2: Is the implant procedure painful? Done under local anaesthesia — no pain during. Some mild swelling and soreness in the days following is normal and manageable. Q3: How long does the entire implant process take? Three to six months from start to finish. The implant needs to fuse with your jawbone — a process that takes approximately two to four months. Q4: How much do dental implants cost in Chennai? Implant costs vary widely. Book a consultation for an accurate, itemised cost estimate — no hidden add-ons. Q5: How long do dental implants last? With proper care, 15 to 25 years or more. Many last a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10–15 years.
Each answer above offers honest guidance and sets expectations, so you feel prepared when considering implant treatment.
Smile Design & Cosmetic Dentistry
Q1: What is the difference between smile design and teeth whitening? Whitening lightens the colour of your existing teeth. Smile design is comprehensive — combining whitening with veneers, crowns, aligners, or other treatments. Q2: How much does smile design cost? Depends on what your smile needs. Dr. Vaishnavi will design a plan that fits your goals and budget. No obligation at consultation. Q3: Will veneers look fake? Not when done well. The goal at Edge Dental Care is always the best version of your smile — not a uniform Hollywood look. Q4: How long does smile design take? Simple cases: two to three weeks. A comprehensive makeover may take several months.
These answers are designed to help you understand your cosmetic options and set clear expectations.
Kids Dentistry
Q1: At what age should a child first visit the dentist? A: By the time their first tooth appears, or by their first birthday. Early visits are about familiarity, not treatment.
Q2: Are dental X-rays safe for children? A: Yes. Modern dental X-rays involve very low radiation. Protective aprons are always used. X-rays are only recommended when clinically necessary.
Q3: How do I prepare my child for their first dental visit? A: Talk about it positively. Avoid phrases like ‘it won’t hurt.’ Our team is experienced with nervous young patients and will go at your child’s pace.
Gentle, kid-friendly care is our goal. We tailor each visit to your child’s comfort.
