Explore our core areas of expertise below to understand how we can help you achieve and maintain a healthy, beautiful smile.

Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry

Restoring damaged teeth and enhancing natural beauty are cornerstones of our practice. Through precise restorative work and creative cosmetic procedures, we can transform smiles in both function and appearance. Our clinic is equipped to handle everything from minor chips to major structural repairs.

• Dental Fillings & Restoration: We use tooth-colored composite materials for fillings, ensuring your repairs blend seamlessly with your natural enamel while providing durable, long-lasting strength against decay.
• Dental Crowns & Bridges: For teeth that are extensively damaged or missing, we craft custom ceramic and zirconia crowns and bridges that restore full chewing function and a natural aesthetic appearance.
• Veneers & Laminates: Correct gaps, chips, discoloration, and misalignments instantly with thin, custom-made porcelain shells that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth for a flawless smile.
• Dentures (Complete & Partial): We provide comfortable, natural-looking conventional and renewable dentures to replace multiple missing teeth, improving your ability to eat, speak, and smile confidently.

Dental Implants & Full Mouth Rehabilitation

Losing teeth affects more than just your smile; it can lead to bone loss and facial sagging. We are pioneers in dental implantology in Port Blair, offering solutions that look, feel, and function exactly like natural teeth. Dr. Ravi Shanker’s specialized training in immediate functional loading implants allows for quicker recovery times and faster restoration of your chewing capability.

• Single & Multiple Implants: Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, we surgically place biocompatible titanium posts into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots, topped with custom crowns.
• Full Mouth Rehabilitation: For patients with severely worn, damaged, or missing teeth, we design comprehensive treatment plans that may combine implants, crowns, and veneers to rebuild the entire bite and smile.
• Advanced Bone Grafting: For patients with insufficient bone density, we perform advanced bone grafting procedures to regenerate bone tissue, making implant placement possible and predictable.

Orthodontics & Kids Dental Care

A straight smile isn’t just about looks—properly aligned teeth are easier to clean and less prone to decay. We offer orthodontic solutions for all ages and take extraordinary care of our youngest patients to build a foundation of lifelong oral health habits.

• Braces & Space Maintainers: Traditional braces gently guide teeth into proper alignment, while space maintainers preserve gaps for permanent teeth if a baby tooth is lost prematurely, preventing future crowding.
• Kids Dental Care: Our team performs gentle cleanings, fluoride treatments, and sealants in a cheerful, welcoming environment. We also teach children about proper brushing and flossing to foster a positive attitude towards dental visits.
• Scaling & Polishing: Routine professional cleanings remove tartar and plaque buildup that home brushing can’t tackle, preventing gum disease and keeping breath fresh.

Gum Surgery & Endodontic Treatments

Saving a natural tooth is always our first priority. Our advanced endodontic and periodontal services aim to eliminate infection and preserve your original teeth whenever possible, while sophisticated gum treatments address the foundation of your smile.

• Root Canal Treatment (RCT): When the inner pulp of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed, we meticulously clean, shape, and seal the root canals to relieve pain and save the tooth from extraction.
• Gum Surgery & Periodontitis Treatment: For patients with gum recession or severe periodontal disease, we offer surgical interventions to clean deep pockets, repair damaged tissue, and restore gum health.
• Third Molar Extraction / Impaction: We skillfully remove problematic wisdom teeth that are impacted, causing pain, crowding, or infection, with a focus on minimizing post-operative discomfort.

Cosmetic Enhancements & Additional Specialties

Beyond traditional care, we offer unique aesthetic treatments that add personality and vibrancy to your smile. These services cater to patients seeking that extra touch of personal expression or a dramatic aesthetic transformation.

• Teeth Whitening & Bleaching: Remove years of stains caused by coffee, tea, or aging with our professional-grade whitening systems, brightening your smile by several shades in a single visit.
• Smile Designing: A completely customized treatment plan that may combine bleaching, veneers, and contouring to craft your ideal smile based on your facial features and personal preferences.
• Tooth Jewellery: Add a touch of sparkle with small, safe crystals bonded directly to the tooth surface—a fun, reversible accessory that makes your smile stand out.
• Laser Dentistry: Dr. Ravi Shanker’s laser expertise allows for minimally invasive soft-tissue procedures with reduced bleeding, swelling, and faster healing times.
