Question 1

Is Root Canal Treatment (RCT) painful at Rahat Dental Clinic?

Accepted Answer

No. Dr. Shabnam Ansari performs root canals using modern local anesthesia and rotary endodontic systems. This gently numbs the tooth and surrounding area, relieves toothache, and allows most treatments to be completed comfortably in single or minimal sittings.

Question 2

How do Dental Implants work to replace missing teeth?

Accepted Answer

A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once integrated with the bone, it is restored with a custom crown (such as durable Zirconia) that matches your natural bite and appearance, functioning like a natural tooth.

Question 3

What is the difference between Zirconia Crowns and PFM Crowns?

Accepted Answer

Zirconia crowns are 100% metal-free, biocompatible, and provide high translucency that closely matches natural tooth enamel. PFM (Porcelain-Fused-to-Metal) crowns have an inner metal alloy base coated with porcelain, offering good strength, while Zirconia is preferred for superior natural aesthetics and durability.

Question 4

Does professional in-office teeth whitening harm tooth enamel?

Accepted Answer

No. Professional in-office LED teeth whitening uses enamel-safe, pH-balanced whitening gels to lift stains caused by tea, coffee, and tobacco without weakening tooth enamel. Any mild, temporary sensitivity usually subsides within 24 hours.

Question 5

Will ultrasonic dental cleaning (scaling) make my teeth loose or thin?

Accepted Answer

No, this is a common myth. Ultrasonic scaling gently removes hardened tartar (calculus) and bacterial plaque from teeth and beneath the gum line using water vibrations. It cleans the teeth without damaging enamel, helping prevent gum disease, bleeding, and bone loss that cause teeth to loosen.

Question 6

Are digital dental X-rays (RVG) safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Rahat Dental Clinic uses modern low-radiation digital RVG sensors that emit up to 90% less radiation than traditional film X-rays. Digital imaging allows Dr. Shabnam to diagnose root infections, cavities, and bone health immediately on screen with minimal radiation exposure.

Question 7

What are tooth-colored composite fillings and how do they work?

Accepted Answer

Composite fillings are dental resin restorations shade-matched to your natural tooth color. After removing decay, the composite material is bonded directly to the tooth and hardened with a specialized dental curing light, restoring tooth form, strength, and function seamlessly.

Question 8

What care is provided for patients who feel nervous or anxious about dental visits?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Shabnam Ansari provides gentle, compassionate care for nervous patients. We apply topical numbing gel before local anesthesia injections so you barely feel a pinch. Procedures are explained step-by-step in advance, and patients can pause or take breaks whenever needed during treatment.

Accepted Answer
