Question 1

Where is Shreeji Dental Care located?

Accepted Answer

We're at F-5, Hilltown Residency, opposite Marriott Sky near Pramukh Swami Circle, on the Bhakti Circle–Haridarshan Road stretch in Nikol, Ahmedabad 382350. Parking is available directly outside the clinic.

Question 2

What are your clinic timings?

Accepted Answer

Monday to Saturday: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM. Sunday: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM by appointment only — please call ahead to book. For dental emergencies outside these hours, WhatsApp us and we'll do our best to accommodate.

Question 3

Is the first consultation really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your first visit — examination, discussion of your concerns, and a written treatment plan with pricing — is completely free. You only pay if you choose to proceed with treatment.

Question 4

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend booking ahead via WhatsApp or phone so Dr. Zalak can give you unhurried attention. Walk-ins are accepted when possible, but you may need to wait.

Question 5

Which payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

Cash, UPI (all apps), debit/credit cards, and bank transfer. For larger treatment plans (implants, full-mouth rehab) we offer structured installments — ask during your consultation.

Question 6

Do you accept dental insurance?

Accepted Answer

We can help you file reimbursement claims with any insurer that covers dental care in India. Bring your policy details to the consultation and we'll walk you through the paperwork.

Question 7

How painful are dental procedures at your clinic?

Accepted Answer

Our single biggest promise is painless dentistry. We use modern anesthetics, patient technique, and we never rush you into a procedure before you're fully numb. Most patients tell us the work was easier than they expected.

Question 8

Are you NRI-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we see NRI patients from Australia, USA, Canada, and UK on almost every India trip. We offer compressed treatment schedules, video consultations to plan ahead, and written quotes in your home currency. See our NRI section for detailed country-specific packages.

Question 9

Is the clinic sterilization up to international standards?

Accepted Answer

Autoclaved instruments, single-use disposables, barrier protection, and surface disinfection between every patient. Our sterilization protocol exceeds Dental Council of India guidelines and matches what you'd expect at a clinic in Sydney, Toronto, or Chicago.

Question 10

Can children be treated at Shreeji Dental?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We love treating kids — gentle handling, distraction techniques, and a genuinely patient approach. We treat children from age 3 onwards for check-ups, fluoride, sealants, fillings, and early orthodontic screening.

Question 11

Is a root canal painful?

Accepted Answer

No — with modern techniques and proper local anesthesia, a root canal is no more painful than getting a filling. The pain you feel before the procedure (the reason you came in) is what goes away. Dr. Zalak uses long-acting anesthetics and verifies full numbness before starting.

Question 12

How much does a dental implant cost in Ahmedabad?

Accepted Answer

At Shreeji Dental, a single dental implant with a ceramic crown ranges ₹30,000–₹55,000 depending on the implant brand (Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Osstem, Adin, Dentium). We use only internationally-certified systems and provide a written warranty.

Question 13

What's the cost of braces in Ahmedabad?

Accepted Answer

At Shreeji Dental, metal braces start at ₹25,000 for full treatment, ceramic braces at ₹40,000, and clear aligners start at ₹80,000 depending on case complexity. Payment plans are available.

Question 14

How long do crowns last?

Accepted Answer

A well-fitted ceramic crown lasts 10–20 years. Good oral hygiene and avoiding grinding (wear a night guard if you grind) extend the lifespan significantly.

Question 15

Will veneers look fake?

Accepted Answer

Not when done well. Modern lithium disilicate veneers are translucent and mimic natural enamel closely. We match them to your face shape, skin tone and personality — the goal is a smile that looks like the best version of your own, not someone else's.

Question 16

How often should I get my teeth cleaned?

Accepted Answer

Every 6 months for most adults. Patients with gum disease, diabetes, smokers, or those wearing braces may need cleaning every 3–4 months.

Question 17

Does wisdom tooth removal hurt?

Accepted Answer

The procedure itself is painless because of local anesthesia. Post-operative discomfort is managed with standard painkillers (paracetamol, sometimes ibuprofen). Most patients are back to normal in 2–3 days.

Question 18

Can bone loss from gum disease be reversed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, to a significant extent. Bone grafting combined with flap surgery can regenerate lost bone around teeth, especially in localized defects. Widespread severe bone loss is harder to fully reverse but can be stabilized.

Question 19

How many implants do I need for a full denture?

Accepted Answer

For a removable overdenture, 2–4 implants per jaw is typical. For a fixed full-arch bridge (like All-on-4), 4–6 implants per jaw. Dr. Zalak will recommend the right option after the CBCT scan.

Question 20

When should I bring my child for the first dental visit?

Accepted Answer

By age 2 or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing — whichever is sooner. Early visits prevent problems and teach the child that the dentist is not scary.

Straight answers. No fine print.
