Patient Care :)

Are you anxious? While most of the routine dental procedures are less complicated, we are aware that many of us are anxious about a dental visit. The dental anxiety is many a time related to dental anesthesia, the sight and sounds of dental instruments among many other factors. Such anxiety results in postponing a dental visit, except for emergency purposes.

We can help: Use of adequate topical anesthetic gel, warm anesthetic solution and sufficient time during the administration of anesthesia reduces the discomfort experienced and thereby the anxiety.

Our rear custom delivery system hides the dental instruments from a patient's front view. During treatment, the patients are always informed in advance before a particular procedure, which avoids any surprises and thereby reducing stress. Our patients could also choose from a choice of noise cancelling headphones, music and overhead television during their dental visit.

Use of technology: Our Digital X ray systems allow us to reduce radiation exposure time to one tenth of time taken with conventional xray system. These digital xray systems and intra oral cameras help us explaining treatment plans and procedures, as we believe in first hand patient education.

Quality Care: The dental care, quality, skill, guidance and judgment are the essence of our practice. The simple adage, "A stitch in time saves nine", is one of the policies that Dr.Anisa Shaikh believes in and follows. The instructions given to you before, at or after your dental appointment, when followed and maintained by yourself as 'Home Care', goes hand in hand towards attaining a good dental health. But of course, it saves you the nine stitches!

You could come by our dental office WITHOUT a referral. We humbly appreciate and welcome your confidence in our office by referral of your friends, family and colleagues to our practice.
