Smile Centre India

My oral health had never been better since I was a child. I had been running dentists after dentists but all in vain. I had flap surgeries twice, done root canal treatment in several teeth, used all the mouth washes my dentists suggested, brushed twice a day but I ended up with bleeding gums with severe infection, bad breath, extremely painful chewing, extreme sensitivity and almost all teeth mobile due to heavy bone loss. My destists suggested to extract all teeth and have dentures. 'Dentures'? I'm too young to have a glass of water beside my bed and a set of teeth stiring at me from inside. I then opted for a full mouth rehabilitation with basal implants, as it was the only option left for me and contacted Dr.Prasanth Pillai at Smile Centre, Kochi, India. Dr.Prasant Pillai is a well experienced, German trained Maxillofacial surgeon with more than10,000 successful implant surgeries to his credit. More over he is compassionate, humane and always down to earth, the qualities a doctor must have along with his/her professional skills. On the day of my first appointment, he explained the procedure clearly, answered my concerns and queries patiently. An overall health check up had been done prior to surgery to see if I was fit for the procedure. After assessing my positive health report, I had been given antibiotics for a week to get rid of gum infections. On 9th Dec 2020, the doctor started the procedure and on 14th Dec 2020 I sat up with a full mouth basal implant and fixed prosthesis. The surgery was somewhat painless with local anethesia. During the treatment days(4-5 days), I had been advised to take light foods like porridge, soup, bread, fruit juices etc..Surprisingly, there is no down time after the procedure and the patients can eat and resume their life routine immediately after fixing the prosthesis. The doctor first fixes the prosthesis temporarily because the implants take almost a year to integrate with the bone. It is a better way to treat issues if any which may occur post surgery as the doctor can easily remove the prosthesis and refix it( only the doctor can remove it not the patient nor anybody else). Also, there is a possible chance for the gums to recede during the healing time. So after a year, when the gums heal and the implants and bones completely integrate, the doctor fixes the prosthesis permanently. It then gives a better look and feeling. This is my 3rd week since the procedure and I'm perfectly alright without any complications so far. A big fat thanks to Dr.Prasant Pillai and his team at Smile Centre, India. The clinic is quite clean and well equipped. When basal dental implant is pricey in other part of the globe, you can get it done at Smile Centre, India, affordably. Not only that, Smile Centre at Kochi, India is a SALVE for your every oral SORE. I would definitely be back with my final results and updates within a year after my prosthesis are permanently fixed.

In early 2023, I underwent a surgical extraction of my impacted wisdom teeth at Smile Centre Kochi. I was informed that the extraction procedure in my case would be a complicated one due to the positioning of my deeply rooted impacted teeth in both jaws.

During the pre-surgery consultation and dental examinations, the doctors at Smile Centre were quick to re-assure me that the extraction would be performed with extreme caution and diligence. and care would be taken to minimise any adverse side effects . At the end of the extraction, I was relieved to discover that the entire process had been very smooth due to the excellent care and guidance that was provided to me. The dental doctors, surgeons, and nurses have maintained top professionalism throughout the entire surgery as well as during post-surgery care,

In July 2023, I had returned for a routine follow-up on the healing of my surgical extraction wounds. Once again, with his immense experience and specialised knowledge, Dr. Prasanth calmly gave me insights into the various stages of the wisdom socket’s healing process and re-assured me that my recovery is on the right track moving forward.

If you are looking for a holistic excellent patient care experience from pre-surgery consultation to post-surgery care, Dr. Prasanth and Smile Centre are the ones to go!

On the outset I wish to extend my sincere appreciation for the excellent dental implant surgery performed on me. I am having dental problems for last five years and have for gone for implant and crowns earlior.

The entire team was not only friendly but also incredibly attentive. Dr. Prashanth's expertise was evident, and he took the time to thoroughly explain every aspect of my treatment, which greatly reassured me. The clinic's cleanliness was impeccable, and their use of cutting-edge CBCT technology was truly impressive. I've just embarked on my journey to regain my smile, and I'm confident it will be radiant and amazing thanks to their expertise. I'd also like to extend my appreciation to Dr. Aswani for her professionalism and positive attitude when dealing with complex cases. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Prashanth and his team to anyone seeking top-notch oral care! Note: The indoor garden within the clinic provides an extraordinary experience that I’m certain you won’t encounter anywhere else in the world, and especially not at a dental office! 😊

I have severe gagging issues during dental treatment which is troublesome and time consuming for the doctors and difficult for me......and this time i had to remove my 3 wisdom teeth which were troubling me......to avoid all the difficulties dental surgery under anesthesia like in overnight hospitalization and operating table is an option but the cost is 2-3 times the normal.....Dr Paul Joseph through some talking to me gave me the morale boost and confidence to go through the wisdom tooth removal (3 nos) through standard procedure(local anesthetic only at the dentist)and procedure was completed with only slight delay and difficulty......I thank Dr Paul Joseph for being so kind,considerate and patient with me and for his fine treatment.

We had an excellent experience with Dr Prasanth Pillai . He explained to us in detail about the condition and suggestions were given regarding the procedures that were needed to be done . The digital setup of the clinic is remarkable and user friendly for the patients as well . Records are maintained with utmost care . The staff was very supportive and quick to respond. No delays. The ambience of the place , the friendly nature of the doctor eased us and we highly recommend the dentist to all. Trust me , You are definitely in safe hands.

My experience with Dr. Prasanth and Dr. Sreeja P Pillai was very satisfying. I went all the way from the Maldives to India for a consultation on my Jaw bone (face) asymmetry issue.

Dr.Prasanth recommended a few scans, dental cleaning, and some cavity fillings. The cleaning and fillings were done very professionally by Dr. Sreeja P Pillai which went smoothly and I'm absolutely happy about the outcome.

After the scans doctor explained to me the next step very briefly in simple words.

One most important thing for me which I noticed was the clinic's cleanliness and very polite good, friendly staff around just like Dr.Prasanth.

Smile Center, Dr.Prasanth & Dr. Sreeja P Pillai would be my Dentist from now on.

Thank you!
