Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Vijay Kumar, MDS, is an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon and Senior Implantologist with 14+ years of experience at The Surgeon's Dental Hospital, Barkatpura. Being a surgeon rather than a general dentist, he personally handles complex implant and bone-grafting cases in-house, from consultation to final crown.

Implant treatment involves surgical placement followed by a healing period before the final crown is fitted. Timelines vary based on bone quality, the number of implants and whether grafting is needed — you'll get a personalised timeline at your consultation.

Yes. Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures are available in-house, performed by Dr. Vijay Kumar to build up the bone needed for a stable, long-lasting implant.

Cost depends on the number of teeth, bone quality and the implant system used. Book a consultation for a personalised treatment plan and transparent cost estimate before any treatment begins.

Implant placement is done under local anaesthesia, so the procedure itself is not painful. Mild discomfort or swelling for a few days afterward is normal and manageable with prescribed medication.

No — modern root canal treatment is performed under local anaesthesia and is virtually painless. Most patients report only mild sensitivity for a day or two afterward, which is far less than the pain of an infected tooth.

Many cases can be completed in a single sitting, depending on the severity of infection and the tooth involved. Your surgeon will confirm the number of visits after examination.

Call us at 8919030180 for a same-day emergency appointment. Sudden tooth pain is often a sign of infection, a cracked tooth, or an abscess and should be examined promptly to prevent it from worsening.

Often, yes — root canal treatment and crowns can save teeth that look severely damaged. In cases where the tooth truly can't be saved, extraction followed by an implant is the recommended next step.
