Specialties and Treatment
Overview
Our teeth are very sensitive despite being hard structures. They are connected to the mucous membrane inside the mouth and embedded firmly in the jaw structure. Their role is varied - from chewing and grinding food which is important for digestion to pronunciation of words for lucidity in speech. They also carry aesthetic value and enhance one’s beauty and appeal. Along with the gums, teeth need to be taken care of properly for optimum oral health. If dental hygiene is not maintained it affects other physical processes. It also makes one’s appearance unpleasant. Toothaches are a common problem and are easily solved by daily brushing. As a general guide, cleansing habit in the morning is a great way to keep them from decaying.
Dental care involves many aspects like oral hygiene as well as food consumption patterns. There are several dental therapies for curing and preventing oral complications. Quantum Dental Care offers a range of special dental treatments for adults and children in 13 different categories. A primary routine visit comprises of:
- Checking current condition of the teeth and gums.
- Is the mouth structure normal?
- Oral hygiene related to patient’s other medical conditions like lifestyle diseases, diabetes or chronic ailments.
- An examination is done to check all parameters related to overall health.
- Tooth decay or cavity signals need for dental fillings.

We don’t keep secrets, so here is what we do as part of this special treatment in our spacious facility. With expert consultations the possibilities we offer are:
Teeth whitening - A prior consultation helps us to decide which treatments will be suitable for individual patients. Keeping in mind your preferences and objectives of whitening we have a combination of home remedies and dental procedures in the clinic.
Fixing MALALIGNED teeth or bridging gaps - New technology has replaced ugly braces. It is also easy to fix crooked teeth in a gentler manner. Misaligned teeth often are treated with an Invisalign procedure. If a tooth is missing or chipped it can still be fixed.
Dental Implants – We determine if you are the right candidate for dental implants. The latest TECHNOLOGIES ARE used to give a proper mouth structure after installing the implants
Dental Implants - Computer guided and unguided
When you require a tooth replacement, it is done through dental implants. With the help of computers, a dentist is able to accurately detect the dental implant. It is one of the most advanced procedures used in our clinic. It is very important that the implant is placed in the exact location. Traditionally, diagnostic casts were used to determine the position of the implant. An entire panoramic or periapical radiographs were taken. Sometimes tomo-graphic facial slices were taken as historic systems. This was all before cone-beams were introduced and generally had a good success rate.
A specialist now uses computer aid. The process begins with taking an impression of the teeth. A radiographic image is created to determine the implant location. We have computers with specific software that guides the dentist to do the following:
- Integrate X-rays
- Take intro-oral images
- Digital images with impressions as per the program on the computer
- A cone beam imaging system is used
- After consultation we give the treatment plan which involves 2-3 months
This is known as computer guided implant surgery. The cone beam correlates the bone, tooth position, cavities and nerves. An accurate size of the implant is chosen with these parameters. We recommened this procedure to:
- Reduce errors in making mistakes
- Wound is less and so is the pain
- Teeth look natural
Computer-aided surgery techniques are suggested for achieving a precise implant position. With the support of CBCT, digitalization and rapid prototyping engineering a surgical stent that satisfies all the requirements of a prosthetically driven implants WHICH ARE THE IMPLANTS OF MOST PROVEN SUCCESS RATE AND IS BEING USED IN QDC
Veneers – Porcelain Veneers is a popular option of cosmetic dentistry. Patients come to us with chipped, broken, colored teeth. As veneers are similar to the actual enamel they are the perfect foil.
QDC delivers the most natural processes to bring a smile on the face.
Root Canal Treatment
What can you expect from a root canal treatment (RCT) at our clinic? We explain the procedure to remove the fear of pain and the cost factor. It is also called endodontic therapy in dental circles. When the tooth gets infected it is susceptible to decay, and pain. Doing a RCT eliminates possible infections in other teeth and improves overall health. The tooth pulp is a sensitive area where this treatment is done. Instead of removing the painful tooth which may be fine or even replaced by crown or a bridge, this procedure is recommended by experienced and reliable dentists. It relieves the pain and is cost-effective.
A root canal is actually a part of the tooth and not treatment per se. This section has nerve ends (the pain often emerges here), blood vessels and a pulpy area. It is called endodontic as it refers to ‘inside of the tooth.’ What do we do to relieve the pain?
- Clean the tooth area- the infected area of the pulp is removed with a small hole made in the crown of the tooth.
- The next step is to cement it to prevent repeated infection. The nerve tissue is removed and there is no pain thereafter.
- THE SPACE IS THEN FILLED WITH INERT MATERIAL
- Putting a crown to help tooth remain stable. A tooth becomes week after RCT. Hence, a protective layer is required. A patient cannot shew or bite unless this procedure is complete.
Normally RCT is done in a single sitting. Curved canals or multi-canals may require more time. If the infection is larger an additional sitting is recommended.
QDC offers the best specialists to have pain-free RCT.
Orthodontics
There is no one single formula or treatment that produces the perfect smile. A dentist offers several options to smile and have healthy teeth. In fact, orthodontics is an art that is skillfully managed by experienced professionals in our clinic. We also take into account the personality of the patient to determine which dental procedures are safe.
Today, technology has helped people to bear braces with a better smile. They are more comfortable for young adults and even children. Putting braces is important to straighten the teeth. Often preventive measures work along with dental hygiene. As experienced orthodontists we recommend:
- Dental hygiene to maintain overall health when braces are on.
- New braces are made more comfortable with warm water salt rinse. It helps gums to remain clean.
- We suggest application of soft orthodontic wax. It acts as a barrier compared to metallic braces.
- We advise patients to eat soft foods that will not cause pain while treatment is in progress.
- The pain is reduced with application of oral gel. In some cases, ice works well.
- Drink ice water to reduce pain.
- Gum massage in circular motion is useful.
- Have patience till teeth are straightened.

Pediatric dentistry is special and we have years of experience to handle several oral problems related to children. As the child turns two, brushing should become a morning routine. As teeth erupt, a visit to the dentist ensures the child will have a healthy set. Most children get cavities as they love sugary foods. Hence, it is recommended that parents keep a check on eating habits. Children should rinse their mouth, floss and brush their teeth after eating chocolates or fizzy drinks.

There are three types, ceramic, resin or golden that are used as part of the treatment. When teeth are worn out they may change color and require a crown. A missing tooth can be embarrassing. Now dentists use bridges to fill the gaps so the patient does not feel awkward when the mouth is open. A dental bridge is also called a Pontic or a false tooth. It is supported by abutment by the teeth nearby. While some patients like gold structured ones, the porcelain ones are now the natural choice. They blend with the rest of the natural teeth.
