He carefully examines each patient’s condition to explain whether a tooth can be saved, when extraction may be necessary, and how a missing tooth can be replaced.
Dr. Gaurang Shah is one of the most experienced dentists and senior orthodontists in Bandra and has over 35 years of experience in dentistry. At 1 Stop Dental Clinic, his goal is to provide pain-free, patient-friendly, and effective treatment solutions.
His areas of expertise include:
A missing tooth can affect chewing and the appearance of your smile. A dental implant is one option for replacing it with a fixed artificial tooth.
Before recommending an implant, Dr. Gaurang Shah examines the gums, jawbone support and overall oral health. He also considers the patient’s medical history to assess whether the treatment is suitable.
During the consultation, patients can discuss the treatment stages, expected healing time and care required after implant placement.
Dental implant treatment involves examination, planning, implant placement and fitting a replacement tooth, usually a crown. The timing of each stage depends on the patient’s condition and healing.
Some patients may need additional treatment before implant placement. In selected cases, an implant may be placed soon after tooth extraction. However, this depends on factors such as bone support, gum health and the condition of the extraction site.
A dental assessment helps determine the appropriate treatment sequence and whether any additional procedures may be needed.
A severely decayed tooth, a badly broken tooth or certain wisdom tooth problems may require extraction. However, removing a tooth is not always the first option. If the tooth can be restored, treatment to preserve it may be considered.
Dr. Gaurang Shah examines the affected tooth and explains why extraction may be recommended. Local anaesthesia is generally used to help manage discomfort during the procedure.
After extraction, patients receive instructions on caring for the area while it heals. Recovery time varies according to the tooth and the complexity of the procedure.
After a tooth is removed, patients may consider a dental implant, bridge or denture. The suitable option depends on the number of missing teeth, the condition of the surrounding teeth, gum health and jawbone support.
In selected cases, an implant may be placed immediately after extraction. In others, the area needs time to heal first. Dr. Gaurang Shah can assess the site and explain the available replacement options and the next steps in treatment.
Discussing replacement options during the treatment planning stage helps patients understand the process before making a decision.
