ABOUT SMILEKRAFTDENTISTRY

Veering from the norm of painful, tedious dental

procedures, Smilekraft Dentistry introduces you to a world

of tech-savvy, new-age dentistry. The pioneers of Futuristic

Dentistry in Pune, India, Smilekraft Dentistry will give you

a new reason to smile everyday!

Changing the very face of the dental scene, we at

Smilekraft Dentistry look forward to giving you an

enhanced and healthier dental well-being. Initially founded

by Dr. Priyank Mathur and Dr. Ruchir Pandya in 2008, we

have grown in leaps and bounds. Located in Pune, close to

the Mumbai - Pune expressway and the Pune – Bangalore

highway, our clinic is easily accessible.

Smilekraft Dentistry is one of the first to introduce Lasers

in most of the dental treatments in Pune. We pioneer in the

use of the WaterLase Laser, which sets us apart. Dr.

Priyank is also the first dentist in Pune to perform a full

mouth rehabilitation using the novel All-on-Four technique

(developed by Dr. Paolo Malo and Nobel Biocare) of using

dental implants to replace all the teeth in a jaw combining

it with the use of the WaterLase Laser to make the

procedure extremely comfortable for the patient.

We believe that technology besides being used to correct

dental issues, needs to be used to preserve what is still

good and is the best way to surge ahead in the awareness of

dental health! Our objective is to provide dental care that

will endure the test of time with the use of modern

equipment to deliver soothing and pleasing experiences.

RESTORATIVE DENTISTRY

At some point in your life, you will likely need some kind of

restorative dentistry care. Fillings, crowns, implants,

bridges... these are all common procedures used to increase

the strength and function of your existing teeth when damage

has occurred or to replace the lost ones. The earlier we can

intervene in the case of a cavity, infection, or dental injury,

the more likely we are to achieve good results and save your

teeth and functionality.

Ways Restorative Dentistry can save your teeth:

If you've got a cavity, we can treat it with a dental filling. Left

unabated, a cavity can eventually lead to serious infection

and, even worse, the loss of a tooth. We use composite tooth-

coloured material to create cosmetic dental fillings when

desired and possible. Porcelain crowns, inlays and onlays

provide extra strength and protection for teeth that have more

extensive damage or are broken.

1) Dental Implants

Dental implants, a revolution in

dentistry, are the perfect solution to

replace missing teeth or stabilise loose

dentures. They are the new standard of

care for people with missing or broken

down teeth. You no longer have to rely on

dentures, bridges or other removable

appliances. And that means that we can

help you smile with confidence and eat

comfortably whatever you wish. At

Smilekraft Dentistry, we use dental

implants from Nobel Biocare which

pioneered and are the best system of

dental implants currently being used in

dentistry. These dental implants will

match your natural teeth, restore your

ability to eat and speak naturally, and

enhance your smile.

1) DENTAL IMPLANTS

2) DENTAL BRIDGES

A Teeth Supported Dental Bridge is a

permanent fixed restoration used to

replace missing teeth when dental

implants are not an option for your

treatment. As you would have read in

the dental implants section, a bridge is

any tooth shaped restoration used to

replace missing teeth that is connected

by two or more supporting units. When

implants are used, they act as the

supporting structures for these

restorations. Otherwise when not

supported by dental implants, more

commonly they are supported by two or

more sound teeth on either side of the

missing teeth.

To replace a tooth with a fixed tooth supported bridge, the

tooth in front of the space and the tooth behind the space

are prepared to receive crowns, attached to which is the

false tooth, or as we call it, a Pontic. For a single missing

tooth, this sturdy structure is composed of two crowns and

a prosthetic tooth. Thus for a single missing tooth, you will

have a bridge consisting of three units, viz. two crowns and

the false tooth.

The bridge literally "bridges the gap" between the

remaining teeth, stabilizing the jaw by surrounding

those teeth with attractive crowns.

3) REMOVABLE DENTURES

Dentures are removable appliances that can

replace missing teeth and help restore your

smile. Removable dentures are commonly

thought of as an old age treatment, and

before the advent of dental implants, were a

very popular treatment option to get back

lost teeth. Although, recent advances in

dental technologies have made removable

dentures less popular, they still hold an

important position in restoring the smile

and function in people with no teeth.

There are different types of dentures that

can be made at Smilekraft Dentistry, which

can be broadly classified into Complete

Removable Dentures and Partial Removable

Dentures.

Complete Removable Dentures

Complete dentures or full dentures are plastic plates with

teeth custom-made to fit each individual. It is made from pink

acrylic simulating gum tissue and plastic or porcelain teeth,

custom set for each patient. Complete dentures are made for

edentulous patients (with no teeth). Apart from replacing

teeth, they also improve appearance by mimicking gums with

the pink acrylic and the overall facial height and width.

Sometimes, some of the teeth can be saved to preserve the

jawbone and provide stability and support for the denture.

Such kind of a denture is called an Over-denture. An over-

denture is also a complete removable acrylic denture which

apart from being supported by the soft tissues is also held in

the mouth with the help of the remaining teeth, which are

prepared in a manner to provide such a function. This extra

support makes the over-denture a better form of a complete

denture and is preferably done whenever possible.

Partial Removable Dentures

Partial dentures replace a few missing teeth. At Smilekraft

Dentistry, they are made out of plastic or cast metal. The plastic

partial dentures are mainly used as a temporary solution before a

more permanent fixed treatment is completed. The cast metal

partial dentures are an option of a more permanent removable

treatment option for missing teeth. The use of the cast metal

makes the denture more stable, thinner and stronger, thus giving

better functionality than its plastic or acrylic counterpart.

4) DENTAL FILLINGS

At Smilekraft Dentistry, tooth

coloured dental fillings are done to

restore teeth that have been damaged

by tooth decay or injury. The cleaning

and shaping of teeth prior to the

filling is done with the combination of

the WaterLase laser and the Lares

fibre-optic dental drill. The use of

such technologies makes the

procedure faster, cleaner, safer and

painless. Numerous types of filling

materials are used at Smilekraft

Dentistry for the filling of different

types of cavities in various locations

of the teeth, viz. Light cure composite

resins, Glass ionomer cements, and

laboratory fabricated fillings

(inlays/onlays) made of either

ceramic, composite or metal.

Our preferred brands for

such filling materials are

3M ESPE, Ivoclar, GC,

Shofu & Meta.

5) POST AND CORE TREATMENT

A Post & Core is a dental

restoration used to

sufficiently build-up

tooth structure for future

restoration with a crown

when there is not enough

tooth structure to

properly retain the

crown, due to loss of

tooth structure because

of either decay or

fracture. Post and cores

are therefore referred to

as Foundation

Restorations.

6) DENTAL CROWNS

Restoring teeth with dental crowns or caps is our way of improving the appearance and strength of damaged, decayed, fractured, or weakened teeth. They are basically tooth shaped restorative caps which are fitted on a portion of a tooth that is seen above the gums in a way that it becomes the external surface of the tooth giving it the required protection, strength and beauty. As compared to inlays or onlays which cover only the biting surface, crowns enclose the whole visible portion of the tooth to give it complete protection.

7) FULL MOUTH REHABILITATION

If you feel that your teeth in

general are shifting,

deteriorating, chipping, and

wearing away or the front teeth

are getting shorter and shorter,

then a full mouth reconstruction

is the solution to restore your

smile.The oral cavity is a dynamic

environment where changes occur

constantly, sometimes quickly,

but more often slowly, over time.

Changes can be due to a

traumatic accident, periodontal

disease, shifting teeth, a lifetime

neglect, a destructive habit such

as grinding, or a lifetime of

dentistry focusing on one tooth at

a time and leaving the mouth

resembling a patchwork quilt.

COSMETIC DENTISTRY

Cosmetic dentistry is aptly one of the best ways to enhance

the oral cavity on all levels. Cosmetic dentistry at

Smilekraft Dentistry is treated as a part of our functional

dentistry procedures, with the added element & dimension

of art. Dr. Priyank Mathur, your cosmetic dentist, performs

a wide variety of procedures, from subtle changes to major

repairs, to improve your smile. Our persistence towards

giving attention to finer details to create a natural and

uniquely individual smile should be your reason to select

Smilekraft Dentistry as your cosmetic dental health

provider.

1) PORCELAIN VENEERS

Veneers are small, razor-thin, custom-made covers for your teeth. Veneers are made from layering ceramics to perfect the appearance of each tooth after they are bonded to its front surface. They are created carefully in a shade chosen to match your own teeth, or to change it to create a new, brighter shade and when completed, to present a natural appearance and a comfortable fit that are often a huge improvement on your natural teeth, yet still mimic nature.

We have specialized in Porcelain Veneer Technology throughout our practice, and we have seen how profoundly it has improved the appearance of our patients. We have also learned from our patients how profoundly veneers have heightened their self-esteem and increased their confidence. If you have considered investigating the possibility of veneers, we suggest you page through our work to see exactly how veneers might help you reach your goal.

2) CERAMIC CAPS

Earlier, the type of crown that was used

the most, had a base of metal as a foundation and porcelain that was placed over it. There were inherent cosmetic and bio-compatibility issues with this, such as grey/dull looking teeth and black lines around the gums with food accumulation near the cap margins. Dr. Priyank Mathur predominantly places all porcelain crowns (with no metal base) and the benefit is to create the most natural smile & health possible, without sacrificing the strength and durability. In actuality, they are more functional.

If you are looking for a once in a lifetime treatment to sort out all your cosmetic and functional issues, then these caps are the best option. Because of their versatility, porcelain crowns can be used effectively to solve a variety of problems. If your tooth is broken or is not strong enough to withstand normal wear and tear or has become extremely worn-down, a porcelain crown would be an ideal treatment for you.

3) COMPOSITE BONDING

Bonding is a form of Smile Sculpture,

accomplished with a composite resin

which enables patients with

imperfections in their teeth to have

more attractive smiles. The procedure

involves the application of a tooth-

colored resin material which is

hardened with a special light which

ultimately "bonds" the material to the

tooth and improves the overall

appearance of the teeth.

Bonding can be used to close spaces,

change the color of the teeth, mask

any discolorations, repair chips, alter

the size or shape of teeth, and give

jumbled or crooked teeth a straight-

looking appearance. Its durability may

not be the best, and it may require

continued maintenance, but it offers

flexibility and an easier resolution to

smile problems. It can easily be done

in a single session. It's the best option

if you are looking for a quick fix.

4) TEETH WHITENING

Our Teeth Whitening Service offers

exceptional beauty for a gorgeous smile.

Over the course of many years, your teeth

can get stained by a variety of foods and

products ranging from coffee and tea to

cigarettes and other substances. Dr.

Priyank Mathur offers the latest teeth

whitening techniques using Pola Office

Plus Bleaching System and the safest

technologies available today. The results

are beautiful and patients leave with a

completely new look.

Teeth Whitening is a procedure devoted to

your whole appearance as much as it is

devoted to your teeth. When we have pale,

dull teeth our smiles are not as powerful

as they could be and our appearance is

often older that it should be. Dirty stained

teeth add years to your face. Teeth

Whitening techniques used at Smilekraft

Dentistry provide long-lasting results that

enhance your whole appearance and leave

you feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and

more youthful.

5) GUM COUNTING & PIGMENTATION

Some people have teeth that look too "short" due to the relationship between their teeth and gums, thus creating a "gummy" smile. Our WaterLase laser can be used for a procedure called "gum contouring" to remove excess gum tissue and expose more of the crown of the tooth. In fact, your gum line can be carefully sculpted to create just the right proportion between gum tissue and tooth surface - and the result is a better looking smile.

If the gum is uneven around a tooth, gum contouring can balance the way your tooth and gum look. The procedure produces a consistent; even gum line that is aesthetically pleasing.

6) ORTHODONTICS

Orthodontics as a treatment, works on the simple principle of bones resorbing under pressure and forming under tension. When force is applied on the tooth, the bone on the side on which the pressure is applied, slowly dissolves out and the tooth moves into the gap thus created. New bone forms on the bone on the opposite side simultaneously which is experiencing the pull of the force.

This principle of movement of teeth in bones and gradual bone formation is utilized using dental appliances called Braces.

In the pursuit of the highest possible standards of orthodontic care, Smilekraft Dentistry utilizes the most effective, state-of-the-art services and appliances in the market today. In addition to traditional metal braces, our patients can take advantage of transparent ceramic braces and the new age treatment concept of ClearPath Clear Aligners. Most excitingly, we take full advantage of the latest scientific advances in research, which permits us to move teeth more rapidly, while at the same time, more safely and comfortably than ever before.

DENTAL EMERGENCIES

Problems with your teeth or gums can sometimes be serious enough that

they simply cannot wait. Getting fast dental treatment can often mean the

difference between losing and keeping a tooth, or between quickly clearing

up an infection and facing more serious health risks. We're available for

calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us today for more information.

Knowing that there's someone you can call if you need to, is a good feeling,

because you never know what could happen. At Smilekraft Dentistry,

we're always ready to help when an emergency dental situation arises.

Situations can happen where a sudden flare-up of infection in a tooth can

cause unbearable pain; an injury can dislodge or loosen one of your teeth

and only quick action can save it; a filling, veneer or crown can suddenly

fall out.

All of these things are emergencies that often cannot wait until normal

office hours. When the problem is extreme pain caused by an abscessed

tooth or gum infection, we can usually prescribe you something to ease the

pain until you can get to us during office hours. Broken teeth, broken

dentures, or dislodged fillings and crowns have to be taken care of

immediately in order to get the best possible results.

1) TEETH SENSITIVITY & TOOTHACHE

When you have sensitive teeth, activities such as brushing,

flossing, eating and drinking can cause sharp, temporary pain

in your teeth. Sensitive teeth are typically the result of worn

tooth enamel or exposed tooth roots. Sometimes, however,

tooth discomfort is caused by other factors, such as a cavity, a

cracked or chipped tooth, or a side effect of a dental procedure,

such as bleaching. As there could be numerous causes for your

sensitivity, there are also various ways that it can be

controlled and treated.

Desensitizing toothpastes – We may advise you to use a

desensitizing toothpaste if you are suffering from mild

sensitivity that is localized or may be generalized in many

teeth and which is not due to any cavity or other such damage.

We may advise you changes or improvements in your teeth

cleaning habits, including brushing twice a day using a soft-

bristled toothbrush with a fluoridated toothpaste, flossing

daily, avoiding vigorous or harsh scrubbing, etc.

2) ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

Root Canals are most commonly a painless procedure (more than 90% to be precise, at Smilekraft Dentistry) that will preserve your tooth and keep the structure from becoming damaged due to infection or trauma. In a nutshell, a root canal is actually your tooth saviour. The name Root Canal comes from the fact that the treatment is of the root part of the tooth, and more specifically, in the canal part of the root where the nerve, blood vessels, and connective tissue of the tooth reside.

To understand this endodontic treatment, it helps to know something about the anatomy of a tooth. Inside the tooth, under the white enamel and a hard layer called dentin, is a soft tissue called the pulp. The pulp contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue and extends from the crown of the tooth to the tip of the roots where it connects to the tissues surrounding the root. This pulp is important during the tooth's growth and development. In a fully developed tooth, it remains as a remnant of the soft tissue that initiated the tooth development.

PREVENTIVE TREATMENTS

At Smilekraft Dentistry, we focus on conservative & functional dental care. What does that mean? It means we want to help you conserve as many of your natural teeth as possible. However, if problems arise or you've gone a little too long between visits, allowing dental damage to set in, we offer restorative dentistry care to counteract oral health issues, injury, damage, and trauma.

As also stated in our cosmetic dentistry section, for us, functional dentistry and cosmetic treatments go hand in hand. Besides enhancing the smile, cosmetic dentistry ought to improve the functional biomechanics of the oral cavity. Ideally, this should be the role of any and all dentistry. Thus, we try and practice this by restoring your teeth to the best function aesthetically.

Eventually speaking, this section is a combination of all the procedures involved with our dental services. As they have already been described previously, this section will provide information about our other general procedures that prevent and treat dental diseases, thus bringing your smile back on.

1) TEETH CLEANING

One of the most valuable services you can receive from our office is a professional dental cleaning. In the past, you may have thought of this service as "just a cleaning" or simply "polishing teeth". You are not alone. In fact, many patients believe that coming in for regular cleanings is not very important.

The truth is, a professional dental cleaning or scaling and polishing is an important service we provide to help you prevent the emergence or growth of dental disease. The medical term for a professional cleaning is Prophylaxis, which is "a measure taken for the prevention of a disease or condition". In dentistry, a prophylaxis, or professional dental cleaning, functions as just that.

2) CAVITY PREVENTION

Application of a pit & fissure

sealant and fluoride treatment

is our method to prevent

cavities from developing on the

chewing surfaces of the teeth of

children as well as adults who

are prone to cavities. It

involves the application of a

special type of fluoride

releasing varnish that seals off

the pits & fissures from the

attack of plaque and bacteria,

rendering them clean and more

resistant to cavities.

3) BITE GUARD

An Occlusal Splint (also called a Bite Splint, Bite Plane, Night

Guard or a Bite Guard) is a removable dental appliance carefully

moulded to fit the upper or lower arches of teeth worn at night to

reduce the amount of grinding pressure transferred to the teeth. It

offers relief for the muscles of the jaw and protection of the teeth

from wear and breakage.

Teeth grinding and clenching also known as Bruxism, generally

occurs during sleep and can often go undetected. Bruxism is the

technical term for the grinding of teeth at night while asleep.

LASER ASSISTED DENTISTRY

Laser Dentistry is a precise and effective way to perform

many dental procedures. If you consider yourself somewhat

of an anxious dental patient and are seeking extreme

safety and comfort, you should consider looking for Dr.

Priyank Mathur, who has pioneered and incorporated

WATERLASE laser dentistry into his practice and

treatments in Pune, India. WaterLase is a state of the art

technology that uses a patent 2780nm wavelength YSGG

laser energy and proprietary water/air spray that combines

to symbiotically excite water molecules from within both

the spray and the target tissue, resulting in a biological,

effective micro-ablation of tooth structure, bone, or soft

tissue.

ORAL SURGERIES

1) TOOTH REMOVAL

Sometimes, even after taking all the efforts, tooth disease can

reach a stage where the teeth are not salvageable. In such cases, we may need to extract (remove) those teeth to prevent further damage to the underlying bone and surrounding gums and teeth. From time immemorial, the extraction of teeth has been dreaded by humans. Till today, it is the most medieval of surgical procedures performed in the human body.

Traditional extractions are done by expanding and fracturing the plate of bone on the cheek side. This is very precious bone. Once lost, it is exceedingly hard to regain. It also, more often than not, impairs our ability to restore the lost tooth by a dental implant. And that's where Smilekraft Dentistry specializes in keeping any extraction as minimally invasive and traumatic as possible. Simply put, we just don't extract teeth; we treat that area keeping all your future needs in mind. If your major functional or aesthetic tooth needs an extraction, then it won't involve just pulling your tooth off, but would be a neat procedure that will preserve, heal and re-grow much more than is removed. We do this utilizing our modern extraction instruments and special bone grafting materials and techniques.

2) PERIODONTAL SURGERIES

The main cause of periodontal disease is bacteria, which constantly forms on your teeth. When you have periodontal disease, the supporting tissue and bone around your teeth is destroyed, forming "pockets." Over time, these pockets become deeper, providing a larger space for bacteria to live. These pockets are too deep to clean with daily at-home oral hygiene and professional hygiene care. As a result, these deep pockets gather even more bacteria, resulting in further bone and tissue loss. Without proper periodontal treatment, too much bone is lost and the teeth need to be

extracted.

If you've been diagnosed with periodontal (gum) disease, there are a variety of treatment options depending on the particulars of your situation, especially the severity of the problem. At Smilekraft Dentistry, we always start with the least or minimally invasive options, which are non-surgical. However, in more serious cases, surgery may be necessary.

3) BONE GRAFTING

Over a period of time, the jawbone associated with missing teeth atrophies (shrinks) or is resorbed. This sometimes leaves a condition in which there is poor quality and quantity of bone not suitable for the placement of dental implants. In these situations, bone grafting is considered. We at Smilekraft Dentistry, Pune, India have the ability to grow bone where needed in certain scenarios. This not only gives us the opportunity to place implants of proper length and width, it also gives us a chance to restore functionality and aesthetics.

Bone grafting procedures may be performed separately or together with implant placement depending upon your bone status. There are several areas of the body that are suitable for attaining bone grafts. In the jaws region, bone grafts can be taken from inside the mouth, in the area of the chin or third molar region, or in the upper jaw behind the last tooth. In more extensive situations, a greater quantity of bone can be attained from the hip or the outer aspect of the tibia at the knee.

4) COMPUTER GUIDED SURGERIES

Computer guided dental implants surgeries at Smilekraft

Dentistry, Pune, India are one of our most advanced dental

implant placement techniques available today. A computer-guided

implant treatment uses the information from a 3D CBCT Scan.

This new sophisticated tool allows us to do precision planning of

your treatment, so your implants are accurately and safely placed

in exactly the right place. Through the use of these 3D computer

imaging systems, we are now able to perform a virtual surgery

before we even touch your mouth for the surgery. The 3D CBCT

system gathers exceptionally accurate information about your

mouth including the anatomy of your jaws in three dimensions,

which enables us to locate and identify important internal

structures as well as gather information about bone quality and

quantity

This information allows us to create a more accurate and precise

treatment plan for your dental implant placement. This process

will provide you with greater satisfaction with respect to health

and recovery along with reduced surgical times and help to

simplify the treatment process.
