Areas of practice
Each case requires a thorough assessment of bone density, oral health status, and individual circumstances. Implant-supported restorations can include single crowns, bridges, or dentures. The restoration type depends on the number of teeth being replaced and your specific needs.
Dr Kumar addresses cosmetic dental concerns through various procedures that can improve tooth appearance. These may include porcelain veneers, tooth bonding, and teeth whitening treatments. Each cosmetic procedure is selected based on your goals, tooth condition, and oral health status.
Cosmetic dental treatment begins with a consultation to discuss your smile concerns. Dr Kumar explains which procedures may address your concerns and what results can be achieved. Individual outcomes vary based on tooth structure and oral health. Treatment selection requires a thorough assessment.
Dr Kumar completed a two-year endodontics residency, focusing on root canal procedures. Root canal therapy addresses infection or inflammation inside a tooth’s pulp chamber and root canals. The procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning and disinfecting the canal space, and sealing it.
Root canal treatment can help retain a natural tooth that might otherwise require extraction. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Dr Kumar uses rotary instruments and digital imaging to locate and access root canals. Following root canal therapy, a crown is often recommended to provide tooth structure support.
Some teeth require surgical extraction when standard methods are not suitable. This may include impacted wisdom teeth, broken teeth below the gum line, or teeth with complex root structures. Dr Kumar performs surgical extractions when necessary to address infection, pain, or as preparation for orthodontic treatment.
The surgical extraction procedure involves accessing the tooth through the gum tissue. In some cases, bone is removed to reach the tooth structure. Dr Kumar discusses sedation options for patients who feel anxious about the procedure. Post-operative instructions are provided to support healing, and follow-up appointments monitor recovery progress.
Dr Kumar provides comprehensive dental care for patients of all ages. General dentistry services include routine examinations, professional cleaning, fillings, and preventive dental care. Regular dental visits can help identify oral health concerns early, allowing for prompt intervention when needed.
Family dentistry involves building relationships with patients and understanding their dental history and individual needs. Dr Kumar takes time to discuss treatment options and answer questions. Preventive education forms part of general dental care, helping patients understand how to maintain oral health between appointments.
