Start with what you feel
Tell us where it hurts, what has changed, or what you would like to improve. The right treatment depends on an examination and, when needed, dental imaging.
Tooth pain can have different causes. The dentist will assess the tooth and surrounding tissues first. Depending on the findings, care may range from a filling or crown to root canal treatment or another appropriate option.
Replacement options can include dental implants, bridges or dentures. Suitability depends on factors such as the remaining teeth, gums, bone, bite and your overall treatment goals.
Alignment treatment starts with an assessment of your teeth, bite and gum health. Clear aligners or braces may be considered depending on the movement needed and the clinical findings.
When several teeth need attention, treatment is usually planned in stages. The aim is to rebuild function, comfort and appearance while considering the health of the remaining teeth and gums.
Bleeding or swollen gums should be assessed rather than ignored. Treatment depends on the cause and may include professional cleaning, periodontal care or gum procedures when indicated.
Routine visits can help identify decay, gum problems, worn restorations and other changes earlier. Plan Dental also provides common preventive and restorative care such as cleaning and fillings.
Your first visit
For planned dental care, a trustworthy consultation should begin with assessment and explanation — not a one-size-fits-all promise.
Share the pain, sensitivity, chewing difficulty, cosmetic concern, previous dental work, medical history and anything that makes you anxious about treatment.
The dentist examines the teeth, gums and bite. X-rays or other records may be recommended when they are needed to understand areas that cannot be assessed by sight alone.
You should understand which problems need attention, what can be monitored, and what the proposed treatment is intended to achieve.
Where more than one reasonable option exists, discuss the differences, likely sequence, maintenance needs and fees before deciding how you want to proceed.

Clinical examples
Before-and-after photographs and X-rays can help explain treatment, but they cannot predict what will be right for another patient. Results vary with diagnosis, oral health, treatment choice, maintenance and healing.
A clinical image supplied by Plan Dental. Ask the dentist what was treated, why that approach was chosen and what maintenance is required.
A radiographic example supplied by the clinic. Implant suitability and the number or position of implants require an individual clinical and radiographic assessment.

The clinic is on the ground floor in Mahim West. Call or WhatsApp before travelling if you need a same-day or urgent appointment.
Before you book
Start by explaining the concern and any relevant medical or dental history. The dentist will examine the area and may recommend X-rays or other records if they are needed. The findings and next steps should be explained before planned treatment begins.
No. Dental X-rays are used when the dentist needs information that cannot be obtained from the clinical examination alone. Whether imaging is needed depends on the problem, your history and the treatment being considered.
Plan Dental publishes services including root canal treatment, crowns, bridges, implants, dentures, gum treatment, braces, clear aligners, cleaning, fillings, teeth whitening, smile makeovers and preventive dental care.
The clinic materials identify Dr. Hrishikesh Naik as a BDS, MDS prosthodontist. Plan Dental’s published profile identifies Dr. Nisha Naik as an MDS in Prosthodontics and Implantology and notes that she was a university gold medalist in Prosthodontics in 2014.
Plan Dental states that same-day appointments may be available. Call or WhatsApp the clinic before travelling so the team can confirm the day’s availability and whether your concern can be seen promptly.
Severe facial or mouth swelling, or difficulty breathing or swallowing, can require emergency medical attention. Go to the nearest hospital emergency department rather than waiting for a routine dental appointment.
Dental fees depend on the diagnosis, the treatment selected, materials and the number of visits. After assessment, ask for the proposed sequence of care and expected fees before you decide to proceed.
