Dental Affection

Dental Affection – BE AWARE

(Second Floor, Seegehalli, Kadugodi, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560067)

On my very first visit to this place, I was in quite a bit of pain. From what the young ladies on duty told me, the pain was caused by a filling gone bad. They prescribed a gel to help reduce the inflammation and the discomfort. After which, they said, I would need to get a root canal done.

The gel worked and I had some affection for the place, so I made a mental note to return to them **** * *** ***** ** **** **** *** *** ********

In less than a week the country went into lockdown to contain the spread of a pandemic and there was no question of visiting a dentist.

A few weeks ago I visited Dental Affection in excruciating pain. What resulted is the stuff of many nightmares in one.

I met with Gaurav Patel, the implant specialist who runs the clinic. He confirmed I needed a root canal. But as luck would have it, he found the filling had gone so bad, there was really no way to save the tooth. The only recourse was to get an implant.

The option for a denture was not presented. (I would gladly have opted for that given what I went through). This was the MOST painful experience I have undergone and I’ve been to dentists since I was a kid. ******* ** *** ****** ***** ** **** ***** *** ***** **** *** ******* ******** ** *** ******** I would NOT recommend him to the anyone. He has a good talk, ******* **** ****** ** *** ****** ***** **** ****** ****** ** ****** Let me explain.

Here's how I lost my trust in Dental Affection:

I had a 11:30am appointment on 24th November for the extraction and implant procedure. I chose an implant that costs INR 30,000. I got there in time, mentally prepared for the procedure.

It was not to be. I was told I needed to pay in advance since the implant needed to be ordered.

So the appointment was moved to 6pm that same day.

I asked if we could make it 6.30pm but it turns out that was too late for the clinic, which meant they would only be able to take an impression of my teeth that day and I would have to go back for the procedure. So I kept my 6pm appointment.

At the clinic that evening, I once again (like I'd done before) made a lengthy case about how I may need more than one anaesthetic injection administered. Like earlier dental procedures I'd had.

Gaurav outright refused to consider this, saying more anaesthetic shots would affect my heart rate and be dangerous.

As the procedure progressed and he witnessed first-hand that I could still feel pain and was not imagining it, he finally did give me another shot of the anaesthetic. * ****** **** **** *** ****** *** **** ***** ** ***** ***** **** ** ****** **** ****** ** *** ************ ***** ***** ** *** **** **** **** ******** ****** ********** *** **** ***** **** ******** ** *** ******* *** ** ****** **** ******** ******

It gets more harrowing:

There I was suitably numbed. The extraction done and the implant procedure still to come. That's the moment Gaurav chose to make me an offer.

He said I could go for the more enduring implant model, which costs INR 50,000 and that I could pay the difference of INR 20,000 in four months when I went in to get the crown put in. **** ********* ****** ** **** ** ***** ** * ******* ** ***** ***** ***** ** ****** *********** ***** **** ***** * *** ****** **** *** ** **** **** ** ****** **** **** ******** ***** *******

How is it the more expensive INR 50,000 implant was so readily at hand, while the INR 30,000 implant needed to be paid for and ordered in advance?

Then there is the matter of the impression of my upper jaw which was taken only after the extraction and the implant procedure was completed. So why could I not have come in at 6.30pm instead?

Once the implant is done, one is usually given a temporary tooth until the final crown is fixed after 4 months. This was to cost me an additional INR 2,000.

* ******* **** * ********* ******************* *** ****** ** ******* *** ******* *** ******** ** *** **** ** *** ******** ***** ********* **** ** ****** ********** I was offered a discounted rate of INR 1,200.

My advise to anyone who cares to read this is be aware and do NOT pay the entire amount upfront even if you have it.

Be Aware!

As a first-time dental procedure patient, I was naturally scared and anxious. However, Dr. Gaurav Patel quickly eased my fears with their warm and approachable nature. He took the time to explain the entire procedure to me, step by step, ensuring I understood what was happening. This helped me feel more at ease and in control and I could faced one of my biggest fears all alone.

What impressed me the most was Dr. ‘s exceptional communication skills. They answered all my questions patiently and provided detailed explanations, keeping me informed at every stage. Their caring and compassionate approach made a significant difference in my overall comfort and confidence.

Dr. was not only excelled in their technical skills but also had a fantastic bedside manner. Despite the expected discomfort, Dr. Gaurav went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and well-being.

Thanks to his expertise, my wisdom teeth extraction went smoothly, and hoping for recovery to go as smooth . I highly recommend Dr. Gaurav to anyone in need of dental care, particularly those who may feel anxious and are scare like me to visit dentists. He changed my perception for lifetime. His and his team’s skill, compassion, and dedication will undoubtedly make your experience a positive one.

Though I want to mention about their admin team (especially receptionist) in se age halki branch was really not at all helpful and have very bad communication so I would recommend not to Judge the whole clinic with her communication and assistance.

Dear Dr. Shwetha,

I recently had the pleasure of being under your care for my dental treatment, and I feel compelled to express my profound gratitude and appreciation for the exceptional service I received.

From the outset, your approach was not only professional but also incredibly informative and reassuring. The detailed explanation of the X-ray findings and the comprehensive breakdown of the root canal treatment process were immensely educational. Your ability to simplify complex dental terms into understandable language made me feel more involved and at ease with the procedure.

I was particularly impressed with your recommendation of the laser-assisted treatment. Your explanation of its benefits, such as enhanced bacterial elimination and improved disinfection, reflected your commitment to employing advanced and effective dental techniques.

Moreover, your kindness and patience in answering my questions and addressing my concerns were remarkable. It is rare to find a healthcare professional who not only excels in their field but also shows such genuine care and empathy towards their patients.

The professionalism and warmth extended by your team, including Dr. Gaurav and Dr. Deepa, further enriched my experience. The collaborative effort in my treatment, especially the attentive care during the procedure, was noteworthy.

I have decided to proceed with the laser-assisted treatment based on your thorough guidance, and my first appointment reinforced my confidence in this decision. The temporary filling was skillfully done, and I am eagerly looking forward to my next appointment.

Please accept my heartfelt thanks for not just treating my dental issue, but for providing a holistic and pleasant healthcare experience. I am not only impressed by your expertise but also grateful for the positive impact you've had on my perception of dental care.

Warm regards,

Hemant

I have unbearable wisdom tooth pain from 10 days

A week ago I met Dr. Shwetha

She is very very friendly. She clearly observed the issue and said my wisdom tooth both upper and lower are decayed and it's better to get them extracted ASAP

All these years i was not having enough dare to get it extracted. Instead I have been enduring lot of pain

Finally today i booked appointment with Dr. Gaurav

First thing I should say my fear is more than the discomfort I got while the extraction

I should say 0 pain and little discomfort. I Chose laser procedure

Dr. Gaurav is very down to the earth person and he comfort me alot throughout the surgery. The way he treats and behaves with the patient is very nice and gives lot of strength to the patient

Both my upper and lower tooth are extracted in just 40 minutes along with the waiting time for anesthesia to effect

I am very much Thankful to Gaurav sir and Shwetha madam

I highly recommend Gaurav sir for the Dental related issues

Thanks

setup an appointment with Dr. Gaurav to evaluate my dental condition, which included fixing chipped teeth, cavities, and missing teeth that needed an implant solution. Over the years, I have been to several dentists, orthodontists, and oral surgeons. During my first appointment, I noticed that Dr. Gaurav is very meticulous, caring, empathetic, patient, calm, humble, great listener, and most importantly extremely competent. He also has a great team of dentists in his practice. His staff dentists (Dr. Aastha, Dr. Ruchika, and Dr. Opi,) also did work on my teeth repair and fillings over two different sessions and that worked out like a charm. The price point at which this work was done cannot be beat. I had a missing tooth from an extraction a few years ago. I asked Dr. Gaurav for his opinion for an implant to fill the gap. It was I who asked for this optional procedure. Dr. Gaurav did not try to cross-sell me on this. I was given two choices, pros and cons of each option, and I chose one of those options. The implant procedure for one tooth took less than 30min and was pain-free. All through the procedure Dr. Gaurav explained what he was doing. I highly recommend Dr. Gaurav's practice "Dental Affection".

I am 77 year old. In the last 30-35 years atleast fifty times I met several dentists at Calcutta,Orissa,Kerala and Hyderabad for my teeth problems. Fortunately I got very good care and treatment from all the places. Now I am staying in Bangaluru and recently one tooth started giving pain. From one medical shop at Kannamangalam I got an advice to visit Dental Affection for better treatment. Actually it was a very different experience for me. I never felt that I am in Dental clinic. Such was the performance of all the Doctors and sisters and other care takers. It was so friendly and so respectively. Much preference they give for the aged. Very pleasant atmosphere. Very careful handling. Very great patience. Very good aftercare. I thank each and everybody from Dental affection. And I thank the unknown person who directed me to the clinic.

I had severe dental pain for one of my teeth and consulted Dr. Gaurav. He has explained the problem clearly and the treatment required. RCT has been done properly. For one of my wisdom tooth ailment which required surgical extraction, again Dr. Gaurav has explained about the laser treatment that is available which I was not aware, taken care of it tactfully and treated it very well. I strongly recommend this Dr. for any kind of dental ailments. During this corona times, I find the clinic is well maintained taking all the precautionary measures for well-being of patients.

I visited the clinic at Seegehalli branch very first time. Staff was very friendly. And clinic was following all COVID norms. The clinic neat and clean. And was sanitized thoroughly. Both staff and doctor were using PPE Kit, gloves etc. That gave us the confidence. On my first appointment with Dr. Ruchika, she explained treatment process thoroughly and answered all our queries. On my 2nd appointment for tooth extraction Dr. Gourav explained all the procedure. And extraction was done seamlessly and without any pain. I am very impressed with Dental Affection clinic doctors and staff.

I had tooth ace and shown to some Dentist in Whitefield. She recommended root canal to me and then I thought of taking second opinion. I went to Gaurav and after his detailed examination he proved that pain is not due to cavity but tooth got fractured. To confirm his doubt he did X-ray/scan and confirmed his analysis. *** ** **** **** *** ********* ********

He is very friendly in approach. Firstly, he will take time to listen our concern and then explains so clearly. As a whole team even Dr Shehnaz did her bit from initial appointment to close out of the case. Kodos to the whole team including staff.

Thanks again Dr Gaurav, you made it so effortlessly.
