Where is the clinic located and is there parking?

We are located at Onyx Bldg, Pooja Hospital, Ground Floor, S.V. Road, Opp. Nagnath Petrol Pump, Goregaon (West), Mumbai 400104. Because we are on the ground floor, access is wheelchair and elderly-friendly, with road parking available nearby.

Is Root Canal Treatment (RCT) painful?

Not at all! With modern local anesthetics and advanced rotary endodontic tools used by Dr. Pooja Shah, a root canal is completely painless. In fact, RCT relieves the severe, throbbing pain caused by infected dental pulp.

Can a Root Canal be done in a single sitting?

Yes! In over 85% of cases, we perform single-sitting root canals within 45 to 60 minutes using motorized rotary instruments and electronic apex locators.

How long do Dental Implants last?

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent, lifelong tooth replacement solution (25+ years). With regular brushing, flossing, and 6-monthly checkups, implants rarely ever need replacement.

Which is better: A Dental Bridge or a Dental Implant?

Dental implants are generally superior because they do not require grinding or damaging neighbouring healthy teeth, and they stimulate natural jawbone density to prevent bone shrinkage.

How long does in-clinic Teeth Whitening last?

Professional laser teeth whitening typically lasts between 1 to 3 years depending on dietary habits (e.g. tea, coffee, turmeric, or smoking) and good daily oral hygiene maintenance.

What is the difference between Teeth Cleaning and Teeth Whitening?

Teeth Cleaning (Scaling) removes bacterial plaque, tartar, and surface stains to maintain gum health. Teeth Whitening (Bleaching) uses medical oxidizing agents to lighten the natural intrinsic shade of your teeth by multiple shades.

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?

While walk-ins are welcomed for dental emergencies and acute toothache, we strongly recommend booking in advance to avoid waiting time and guarantee Dr. Pooja's dedicated attention.
