Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should I visit the dentist for check-ups?

    We recommend visiting your dentist at least twice a year for regular check-ups and professional cleaning. However, if you have specific dental issues, gum disease, or are undergoing treatment, more frequent visits may be necessary. Regular check-ups help detect problems early, prevent cavities, and maintain overall oral health. At Smile Spark Clinic, our dentists will create a personalized schedule based on your individual needs and risk factors.

  • What is the best way to prevent cavities and tooth decay?

    Preventing cavities requires a combination of good oral hygiene and healthy habits. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss at least once a day, and limit sugary foods and drinks. Regular professional cleanings at our clinic remove plaque buildup that brushing alone cannot eliminate. We also recommend using mouthwash and maintaining a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamins. Our team at Smile Spark Clinic can provide personalized advice on cavity prevention tailored to your lifestyle.

  • Are dental implants a permanent solution for missing teeth?

    Dental implants are one of the most durable and permanent solutions for missing teeth, with success rates exceeding 95% when properly placed and maintained. The implant itself, made of titanium, fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration, making it extremely stable. With proper care including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, implants can last a lifetime. At Smile Spark Clinic in Greater Noida, our experienced implantologists use the latest technology to ensure optimal placement and long-term success.

  • How long does teeth whitening last?

    Professional teeth whitening results typically last 6 months to 2 years, depending on your lifestyle and eating habits. Factors like drinking coffee, tea, red wine, and smoking can reduce the longevity of results. To extend the whitening effects, avoid staining foods and drinks, maintain excellent oral hygiene, and consider periodic touch-up treatments. At Smile Spark Clinic, we offer both in-office whitening for immediate results and take-home kits for gradual brightening. Our dentists will recommend the best approach for your specific needs.

  • What is the process for getting a dental crown?

    Getting a dental crown typically requires two visits to our clinic. During the first visit, we examine the tooth, take X-rays, and prepare it by removing any decayed portions. We then take an impression or use digital scanning to create a precise mold for your crown. A temporary crown is placed while your permanent crown is being fabricated in the laboratory. In the second visit, usually 1-2 weeks later, we remove the temporary crown and cement the permanent one in place. Modern crowns at Smile Spark are tooth-colored, durable, and blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

  • What is root canal treatment and why is it needed?

    Root canal treatment is a procedure to save a tooth that has a severely infected or inflamed pulp (the nerve tissue inside the tooth). Common reasons for needing a root canal include deep decay, repeated dental procedures, faulty crowns, or trauma to the tooth. During the procedure, we remove the infected pulp, clean and shape the root canal, and fill it with a biocompatible material. Contrary to popular belief, root canal treatment relieves pain rather than causes it. Modern techniques at Smile Spark Clinic make the procedure quick and comfortable, and success rates exceed 90%.

  • Which is better: braces or clear aligners?

    Both braces and clear aligners are effective for straightening teeth, but each has unique advantages. Traditional braces are excellent for complex cases, provide precise control, and work faster in some situations. Clear aligners are virtually invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, more comfortable, and allow better oral hygiene. The best choice depends on your specific orthodontic needs, lifestyle, budget, and preferences. At Smile Spark Clinic in Greater Noida, our orthodontists will evaluate your case and recommend the most suitable option. Clear aligners typically cost more but offer greater convenience, while braces are often more affordable.

  • Is teeth cleaning harmful to natural tooth enamel?

    Professional teeth cleaning is safe and does not harm your natural tooth enamel when performed by qualified dentists. During cleaning, we use specialized instruments and low-abrasive polishing materials that remove tartar and stains without damaging the enamel. In fact, regular professional cleanings protect your teeth by removing plaque and tartar buildup that brushing alone cannot eliminate. These deposits can lead to cavities and gum disease if left untreated. At Smile Spark Clinic, we use the latest ultrasonic cleaning technology that is both gentle and highly effective for maintaining your dental health.

  • At what age should children visit a dentist?

    Children should visit a dentist as soon as their first tooth appears, typically around 6-12 months of age. Early dental visits help establish good oral hygiene habits and allow us to monitor your child's dental development. Regular visits every 6 months help prevent cavities and detect any problems early. Pediatric dentists at Smile Spark Clinic are specially trained to work with children, making dental visits comfortable and stress-free. We also provide fluoride treatments and dental sealants to protect primary and permanent teeth from decay, ensuring your child develops a healthy smile.

  • What should I do in case of a dental emergency?

    Dental emergencies require prompt attention to prevent complications and save teeth. Common emergencies include severe toothache, knocked-out tooth, broken tooth, and lost filling. For a knocked-out tooth, rinse it gently without touching the root, place it in milk or saliva, and see us immediately. For severe pain, apply a cold compress to your cheek and take over-the-counter pain relief. Do not delay seeking care as infections can spread rapidly. Smile Spark Clinic offers emergency dental services and can often accommodate urgent appointments the same day. Call us at +91 70146 26998 for immediate assistance.

  • Can smile designing improve my appearance?

    Yes, smile designing is a cosmetic dental procedure that can dramatically improve your appearance and boost your confidence. It involves analyzing your facial features, lips, teeth, and gum line to create a customized smile that complements your unique characteristics. Smile designing can include teeth whitening, reshaping, bonding, veneers, crowns, and gum contouring. At Smile Spark Clinic, our cosmetic dentists use advanced digital technology to show you a preview of your new smile before treatment begins. The results can be transformative, enhancing not just your smile but your overall facial aesthetics and self-confidence.

  • Is it safe to get dental treatment during pregnancy?

    Yes, dental treatment is generally safe during pregnancy, and maintaining good oral health is actually important for both mother and baby. Pregnancy hormones increase the risk of gum disease, which has been linked to pregnancy complications. The safest time for non-emergency dental work is the second trimester (weeks 14-20). Emergency treatments can be performed at any stage, as the benefits of treating infection outweigh any risks. Avoid elective procedures and X-rays unless absolutely necessary. Inform your dentist at Smile Spark Clinic about your pregnancy, and we will take appropriate precautions. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings during pregnancy help prevent gum disease and ensure a healthy pregnancy.
