Nervous about the dentist?
The four things patients worry about, answered
"Will it hurt?"
The area is numbed before any treatment, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Sedation is available if you are very anxious, and you can ask us to stop at any time.
"Will I be rushed?"
Every first consultation is 45 minutes. We look, explain what we find in plain words, and give you a written plan with the cost. There is no pressure to start that day.
"Will I see a different doctor each time?"
No. Dr. Vaishnavi plans and carries out your treatment and sees you at every follow-up.
"Is it clean and safe?"
Instruments are sterilised for every patient, and the clinic follows strict hygiene and sterilisation routines.

Questions
Common questions from patients
Do you see patients who are very anxious?
Yes. We explain each step before it happens, numb the area fully, and offer sedation for very anxious patients. You can ask us to pause at any time.
How often should I see a dentist?
Every six months for a routine examination and professional cleaning. Regular visits catch cavities and gum disease early, before they need bigger treatment.
What are the options for missing teeth?
Dental implants, bridges and dentures. The right choice depends on your bone, your gums and your preference, and Dr. Vaishnavi walks you through each one.
Does Edge Dental Care treat children?
Yes. We see children from their first tooth, with gentle check-ups, prevention and early treatment.
Do you show prices on the website?
No, because the cost depends on what your teeth need. You get a written plan and cost after your consultation, before any treatment starts.
Do you treat patients visiting from abroad?
Yes. We can plan appointments around your travel dates. Message us on WhatsApp with what you need and when you are in Chennai.
