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 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

Hi guys .. Myself Hemanth A ... professional in developing core telecom and health care products.
Only one sentence suits "Dr. Gaurav Patel" .... He is best at his Job.
He is doing good to society, we all need to appreciate him for his focus work.
Are you planning to get treated for the "first time" ??? .. Then it's a mandatory for you people to go through the complete post ... it helps you.
For new patients(anyways experience guys will already be aware) ... I am assuring you 0% pain during the complete procedure including injections.
You have to believe me ... why you have to believe me ??? ... Here comes the answer ... Even this is my first experience with tooth extraction ... that's why ... for the first ...we will focus on each and every aspect. But I do focus every time ... that's a different story :)
A patient can only share the exact feelings better than any doctor .... Because patient will experience it right :)
And coming to important part ... I think majority(>98% for sure) of the first timers will more worry about initial "Anesthesia Injection" ... Because it something new & unusual place to get injected ... But believe me ... i can strongly say ... it is absolutely pain less ... even very comfortable(They will apply Numbing Gel for Painless Dental Injections) than normal injection which is given to hand ... doctor will keep communicating to you ... to eliminate the worries/tension ... just listen and follow his instructions.
Once Anesthesia Injection is given ... then it becomes numb ... which means no sense at all ... you will not experience any pain at all ... even the same with any complex cases ... so you can completely relax.
So our Job is to sit relax and support "doctor and his supporting person" ... Just follow the doctor instructions precisely, so that entire procedure goes very smooth.
During the procedure if you have any questions or concerns ... just raise your "left" hand ... they will stop the procedure on the spot and clear all your questions ... and then only, they will continue the job. Never hesitate to ask questions ... they will definitely answer you. It is better to get it cleared ... instead of thinking about it during the procedure (which kills the piece of mind)
Same comments are applicable to any kind dental treatment.
Instead of suffering, It is always better to face the problem with strong mind .. what you guys say ??? ... Just think. You can't escape guys (we are humans) ... Just face the problem at earliest ... I recommend immediate attention.
I know how first timers will feel ... don't worry ... doctors will take best care ... if you still have any worries ... you guys can reach me over "hemanth.anakapalle@gmail.com" .... you can expect the response at the earliest.
No spamming guys ... do mail me for only dental worries (So that I can prepare you mentally strong)
All the Best.
