Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book an appointment?
You can book directly through our online appointment wizard - choose a treatment, pick an available date and time, and confirm your details. You can also call the clinic directly if you'd prefer to book by phone.
Do I need a referral to see Dr. Neha Nasa?
No referral is needed. You can book a consultation directly, whether it's for a routine check-up or a specific concern like an implant or gum issue.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Please bring a valid ID, a list of any medications you're currently taking, and any previous dental records or X-rays if you have them - they help us plan your treatment more accurately.
Is root canal treatment painful?
Modern root canal treatment is performed under effective local anaesthesia, so most patients feel little to no pain during the procedure itself. Some mild sensitivity afterward is normal and typically settles within a few days.
How long does a dental implant take, from start to finish?
It varies by patient. Placing the implant post is a single procedure, but it needs time to fuse with the jawbone before the final crown is fitted - this healing period is usually several months and depends on your individual bone health.
How often should I get a professional dental cleaning?
Most dental professionals recommend a check-up and cleaning every six months, though your ideal schedule may differ depending on your oral health - Dr. Nasa can advise on what's right for you at your consultation.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel my appointment?
Please let us know as early as possible. You can reschedule or cancel using the link in your appointment confirmation email, or by calling the clinic directly.
Are your instruments and treatment rooms sterilised?
Yes - standard sterilisation and infection-control protocols are followed for every instrument and treatment room, for every patient.
What's the difference between a general dentist and a periodontist?
A periodontist is a dental specialist with additional training focused on the gums, supporting bone, and dental implants - beyond the general dentistry training every dentist receives. Dr. Nasa is a Periodontist & Implantologist (BDS, MDS).
Will I need an X-ray before treatment?
Often, yes. X-rays let us see below the gumline - the bone, roots, and areas not visible during a regular exam - which is important for accurately diagnosing and planning most dental and implant treatments.
