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!
I had a very good experience with Dr. Gaurav Patel, who has become our trusted family doctor. He is friendly and creates a good environment. I highly recommend him.
Dr. Gaurav Patel explains everything in detail and is a good doctor. The clinic was clean, and although the fees felt a bit high, the overall experience was good.
Visited For Gum Swelling
The doctor advised me to come later due to slight gum swelling, *** * **** **** *** *********** and a waste of time. The doctor communicated only briefly after examining my gum, and I believe the clinic should respect patients' time, especially when they are punctual.
Dr. Gaurav Patel is confident in his work and explains everything clearly about the care and procedure. As a dentist, he is very skilled in his profession.
Dr. Gaurav Patel was very professional and explained the procedure in detail. The clinic was well organized and clean, and the whole visit was totally worth it.
