When should I see a dentist about tooth pain?

If pain lasts more than 24 hours, wakes you at night, or comes with swelling or fever, book the same day. Untreated pulpal infection can spread quickly.

Are bleeding gums serious?

Bleeding gums usually signal gingivitis — reversible with a professional clean and better home care. Left alone, it can progress to periodontitis and bone loss.

Can crooked teeth be fixed without braces?

In most adult cases, yes. Invisible aligners (Invisalign, ClearPath) correct crowding, spacing and mild bite issues in 6–18 months.

What causes bad breath and how do you treat it?

80% of chronic bad breath comes from the mouth — plaque, gum disease, or a cracked filling. We diagnose the source and treat the cause, not just mask it.

Is teeth sensitivity permanent?

Usually no. Sensitivity from exposed dentine, recession or a cracked tooth responds well to targeted treatment — from desensitizing to bonding or endodontics.

Can discoloured teeth be treated in one visit?

Depending on severity, many cases are single-visit. Complex or surgical cases follow a written, phased plan you approve before starting.

Do I need a referral to see a specialist for discoloured teeth?

No referral needed. Dr. Ranganath (implantology, 30+ years) and Dr. Kavitha (microscope endodontics) see every consult personally — book directly on WhatsApp or by phone.

Do you accept insurance?

How much does a dental implant cost in Bangalore?

Straightforward single implants at RCC start at ₹35,000 including the crown. All-on-4 full-arch cases are quoted after CBCT — usually between ₹2.5 – 4.5 lakhs per arch.

Is a root canal really painless?

Yes. Modern anaesthetic protocols and microscope-assisted files mean most single-visit RCTs cause no more discomfort than a regular filling.

How long does a smile makeover take?

Two to four weeks. Day one is design and mock-up, day two is the try-in, day three is the final bond. Whitening runs in parallel.
