Implants, crowns and cosmetic dentistry at Ambicapatty, Silchar — with Dr. Prasenjit Dey, BDS MDS in prosthodontics.
Eight areas of treatment, each with a page that says what it involves, whether it hurts, how long it takes and how the cost is worked out.
Start from the symptom rather than the treatment name. Each one says what it usually means, what to do now, and what it normally needs.
Tooth pain that wakes you at night or throbs for minutes after hot or cold usually means the nerve inside the tooth is inflamed or infected, and at that stage a filling is rarely enough — it generally needs root canal treatment to settle.
Facial swelling alongside dental pain means an infection has spread beyond the tooth, and it needs to be seen the same day — swelling that reaches your eye, or that makes swallowing or breathing difficult, is a hospital emergency rather than a dental appointment.
Gums that bleed when you brush are inflamed, almost always from plaque and hardened deposits at the gum line — healthy gums do not bleed, so it is a sign of early gum disease rather than of brushing too hard.
A missing tooth can be replaced with an implant, a bridge or a denture, and the right choice depends on how much jawbone remains and on whether the teeth either side of the gap are healthy — which is why it starts with an X-ray.
Crooked and crowded teeth are straightened with braces or clear aligners, and adults can be treated at any age — what determines suitability is gum health rather than how old you are.
A broken tooth should be looked at the same day even when it does not hurt, because how deep the fracture goes decides whether it needs a filling, a crown, or root canal treatment — and a tooth that cracks below the gum line can rarely be saved.
Severe pain, facial swelling, a broken tooth or a tooth knocked out should be seen the same day. Message the clinic describing the symptom and how long it has been going on.
Go to a hospital, not a dentist, if swelling is spreading towards your eye or neck, you are having difficulty swallowing or breathing, or you have a high fever with dental pain. Those need an emergency department immediately.
MDS — Prosthodontics
Prosthodontics is the dental specialism concerned with replacing and rebuilding teeth — implants, crowns, bridges, veneers and dentures. It is a three-year postgraduate degree taken after the BDS, and it is what Dr. Prasenjit Dey holds.
For a check-up or a filling that distinction does not matter much. It matters when the work is structural: several teeth missing, a bite that has worn down, a set of crowns that has to function as a system, or a front tooth that has to look convincing next to the teeth beside it.
Real Google reviews appear here once the clinic's Places API key is added — the endpoint that serves them is built and caches for 24 hours at the edge.
No testimonials have been written for this page. On a medical site, invented patient quotes are not a placeholder, they are a lie — so the section stays empty until the real ones can be fetched.
Google Places API key — to be confirmed
Photographs of the practice go here. Anxious patients look for this more than for anything else on a dental site — seeing the room lowers the stakes of walking into it.
Clinic photographs (reception, treatment room, waiting area) — to be confirmed
This section is built and deliberately empty.
No before-and-after images are shown because none have been supplied. Stock photographs presented as this clinic's own work would misrepresent it, and real patient photographs require written consent before they can be published.
Before/after image sets with written patient consent — to be confirmed
Patients come to Ambicapatty from across Silchar. Each of these pages has the route, the drive time and the treatments most asked for from that area.
These times are taken from the clinic’s Google listing and have not been confirmed day by day. Ring before you travel.
Send a message describing what is going on and you will get a straight answer about what it needs and what it costs — before you commit to anything.
