Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of a crown depends on the material used — zirconia, E-Max, PFM, or metal — and the condition of the tooth underneath it. At ToothWorks Dental Clinic, Dr. Shraddha Mandowara examines the tooth, discusses which crown material suits your case and budget, and gives you a clear, itemised quote before any treatment begins. Book a consultation for an accurate estimate specific to your tooth.

A crown covers and protects a single damaged tooth, while a bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring an artificial tooth to the healthy teeth (or implants) on either side of the gap. Which one you need depends entirely on whether the tooth itself is still present but weakened, or missing altogether.

Most patients need a few weeks to adjust to speaking and eating comfortably with new dentures. Dr. Shraddha schedules follow-up visits after fitting to adjust any sore spots and fine-tune the fit, which makes the adjustment period noticeably smoother.

Not always — it depends on how much healthy tooth structure remains below the gumline and whether the root is stable. In many cases a core build-up or root canal treatment followed by a crown can save the tooth. Where too little structure remains, an implant is usually the better long-term option. A clinical exam and X-ray at ToothWorks will tell you which applies to your tooth.

Full mouth rehabilitation is a comprehensive, planned rebuild of most or all of the teeth in your mouth — combining crowns, bridges, implants, and bite correction as needed. It's typically recommended for patients with widespread decay, significant tooth wear, or long-term tooth loss that has affected their overall bite and facial appearance.

Implant cost depends on the number of teeth being replaced, the implant system used, and whether procedures like bone grafting or a sinus lift are needed first. As a certified Implantologist, Dr. Shraddha Mandowara assesses your jawbone and treatment goals before providing a detailed, transparent cost breakdown — book a consultation for a quote specific to your case.

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last 15–25 years or longer, and the titanium implant itself can often last a lifetime. The crown attached to it may need replacement after a decade or more depending on wear.

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone density are good candidates. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or active gum disease need to be managed first. Dr. Shraddha conducts a thorough assessment, including X-rays, to confirm suitability before recommending implant treatment.

Traditional implants typically replace one tooth per implant. All-on-4 (and All-on-6) use just four or six strategically placed implants to support a full, fixed arch of replacement teeth — making it a more efficient option for patients who are missing all or most of their teeth in one jaw.

No — bone grafting is only needed when the jawbone at the implant site has thinned too much to securely anchor an implant, which commonly happens after teeth have been missing for a long time. An X-ray assessment at ToothWorks will show whether your bone volume is sufficient or whether grafting should be planned first.

Smile designing is a personalised process that analyses your facial proportions, lip line, and natural tooth shape to plan a smile makeover that suits your individual face — rather than applying a generic template. As a certified Smile Designing Specialist, Dr. Shraddha builds every plan around your own features and goals.

It depends entirely on what your plan includes. Whitening alone can be done in a single visit, while a comprehensive makeover involving veneers, crowns, or gum contouring may take several visits over a few weeks. Dr. Shraddha will give you a realistic timeline once your treatment plan is finalised.

Yes — in-clinic professional whitening performed under a dentist's supervision is safe and far more predictable than over-the-counter kits. Dr. Shraddha evaluates your teeth and gums beforehand to rule out any sensitivity or decay issues that should be addressed first.

Veneers can visually correct mild misalignment, gaps, or uneven edges by reshaping the front surface of the teeth, without moving them orthodontically. For more significant crowding or bite issues, orthodontic treatment (braces or clear aligners) is the more appropriate solution — Dr. Shraddha will advise which approach fits your case.

Common signs include jaw clicking or popping, pain or soreness near the ear or jaw joint, headaches around the temples, and difficulty opening the mouth fully. These symptoms are often mistaken for stress or migraines, so a dedicated jaw assessment is the only way to know for sure.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause — it can include custom occlusal splints or night guards to relieve pressure on the joint, bruxism (grinding) management, and, where an uneven bite is contributing, bite correction. Dr. Shraddha, a certified TMJ specialist, tailors treatment to what's actually driving your symptoms rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Yes — for patients whose jaw pain is linked to nighttime teeth grinding or clenching, a custom-fitted night guard cushions the bite and reduces strain on the jaw joint and muscles while you sleep, which is often when grinding is at its worst.
