The Dental Rehabilitation Centre offers the following services with our state-of the-art equipment and well-trained dental surgeons. Welcome to our refurbished clinic which has been given a coat of soothing colours to make you feel at home in a calm environment, A few treatments as follows :

Bleaching

We are the leading teeth whitening centre in Goa. We have treated more than 2500 overseas patients during the past two year alone. Our well experienced dental surgeons will give you the right shade that suits your face and complexion. We do single tooth bleaching as well as multiple teeth bleaching using four types of whitening systems( Beyond ( USA ),Zoom 2 Advanced, Apouza , Denta America Whitening system USA. For Home Kits top-ups we use Pola Home Bleaching kit and Opalescence Home Bleach from SDI Australia.

Implants

We conduct dental implants using nickel-titanium posts. A dental implant is inserted in the jaw bone and allowed to heal for about six months. After which we place the artificial teeth. These are like permanent teeth which can last up to 20 years. We Prefer to use only Nobel Bio Care Implants. We at our surgery also Place Imtech implants and Ostem Implants.

Veneers

: These are the tooth-coloured material used to treat the discoloued teeth. The main advantage of this is that not much of tooth material is lost; only a thin layer of the tooth is scraped. Then the veneer is etched over the tooth surface. Mostly, the porcelain material is used because it has the same colour as the teeth.

Aesthetic

Designing a smile takes years of experience and post-graduate training in cosmetic dentistry.  We have launched many a beautiful smiles and fixed common dental problems on a daily basis.  Some of these common smile challenges are gaps between teeth, stained teeth, gummy smiles, crooked misaligned teeth and many other problems. 

A trained cosmetic dentist with an artistic eye can fix your smile with porcelain veneers in as little as two visits.  Make sure when you are interviewing your dentist you ask about their post-graduate education as it relates to cosmetic dentistry and ask to see before and after photographs of their own cases.  Most dentists that focus on smile design should be able to show you their own work.  Porcelain dental veneers are not the only solution to a troubled smile.  If your teeth are already straight you may be a perfect candidate for in-office one-hour whitening systems like Zoom-2 teeth whitening or BriteSmile.  Most aesthetic practices will have a one-hour whitening system to lighten your teeth professionally.

You may also be interested in straightening your crooked teeth without veneers or traditional metal braces (wires/brackets) and be a perfect candidate for Invisalign invisible braces.  There are certified Invisalign dentists that are qualified to offer Invisalign to you.  Whatever your dental challenge, there is a solution to give you a better, more appealing smile.

It’s a big decision to change your smile and worth your time to get second and third opinions.  Make sure that the dentists are trained in cosmetic dentistry and observe the enthusiasm for smiles in their offices.

Root-Canal Treatment

Root-canal treatment is a process to remove the necrosis pulpal tissue and restoration of root-canal materials. Root-canal treatment is required when damage to tooth structure like cracks and deep cavities reach down to the nerve tissue and blood vessels which are in the soft pulp of the tooth in the canals leading to severe pain, swelling, formation of abscess etc. The alternative to this treatment is extraction but today the dentistry has advanced to such an extent that the tooth can be saved.

The procedure involves opening of the root canal, removal and cleaning of the damaged pulp, cleaning and medication for infection in the canal, filling of the canal and crown buildup. Our clinic uses the "Protaper" system from Dentsply for this procedure.: Smile Designing:: or Teeth Whitening:

Orthodontics

This is a method of re-aligning of the irregularly placed teeth. By this procedure spaces between the teeth can be closed. Also, the correction of the crowded teeth can be done by spacing them out properly.

Ideal age for orthodontic treatment

·

Although orthodontic treatment can be done at any age they are best carried out in young children of 8-15 years of age.

·

During this age it is possible for the orthodontist to foresee any dental problems that are likely to occur and can take preventive measures. This is called preventive orthodontics.

·

It is also possible to intercept disorders of the bite at an early stage so that it does not mature to a big dental problem. This is called interceptive orthodontics.

·

The jaws are actively growing by 8 - 10 years of age and therefore are the ideal time to mould the jaws.

·

The permanent teeth start erupting by 6 - 7 years of age and complete the process by 12 - 14 years (all except the wisdom teeth). This would therefore be the ideal time to start treatment.

Crowns & Bridges

These are materials used for the replacement of the missing teeth. A dental crown or cap is a custom-made restoration that covers a tooth that has suffered a significant loss of structure. It is used to restore teeth to a certain shape and size strengthening it in the process. In cases where root-canal treatment has been performed the crowns are highly recommended. With today’s advancement in dentistry the crowns are fabricated from various materials such as:

1) Metal crowns.

2) Porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.

3) Metal-free ceramic crowns.

When multiple crowns are fabricated jointly to fill gaps of missing teeth or pontics, it is called a bridge. To succeed, the bridge needs to be supported by healthy teeth on either side for strength.

Restoration

A dentist may resort to filling, or restoring, when a patient loses a part of the tooth because of decay or some other reason. At our clinic we use the "visual light cured" composite material with shade matching to the existing tooth for the most natural finish. We carry out four classes of restoration using material from 3M, Ultradent, Vivadent, Dentsply and Kulzer.: : :

Tooth Jewellery

Tooth jewellery is a clever way of adding sparkles to your smile. It is the latest addition to cosmetic dentistry, gaining popularity among all age groups. You can surprise your friends with a sparkling crystal glass design, or something in gold with a twinkle of ruby or diamond. These tiny little designs are great fun, and they will not harm your teeth because there is no drilling involved.

Ultrasonic Scaling (Cleaning)

Scaling or oral prophylaxis is the procedure of removing calculus, plaque and stains from the teeth. Our clinic uses "EMS Piezon" & "Satelec" ultrasonic scaling systems and gives in-depth cleaning where required. Relevant attachments are used for various applications that operate at a very high frequency thereby enabling the procedure to be comfortable and less time-consuming. The scaling is followed by polishing of the tooth surface to make it smooth.

We are located on road to Baga, next to Skin touch 100 meters after Infantaria. We have no branches or tie-ups with any other dental clinics in Goa. Our clinics are manned by highly qualified dental surgeons who use the latest equipment of international standards. We use autoclaving and UV light sterilization to give you absolute hygiene and provide security.

We offer FREE consultation using Intra-Oral camera with LCD TFT monitor.

He is a businessman.

What are my chances of getting into dental school?

I am about to transfer to another university in the Spring of 2009. Many of my core classes are out of the way and my GPA is 3.8 on 4.0 scale. Would I have a decent chance of getting into dental school if my DAT scores were good along with everything else??

Those are amazing stats! If you do decent on the DAT (average is about 19) then you should be fine. They do take into consideration volunteering and extracurriculars too, and you should of course job shadow some dentists. You should visit www.studentdoctor.net. Go to the forum section (found in the upper right corner) and look up DAT discussions in the scroll list. There are tons of pre-dental students on there talking about the DAT and the best things to study. This will probably help you prepare for it. This website has helped me a ton in my dental school preparation.

Remember to apply early in the cycle and then just sit back and wait for your acceptance letters to start coming in! Good luck!
