Sani Dental FAQs

1. Does Sani Dental charge a consultation or diagnosis fee?

No, this is done free of charge.

2. Can I get my old metal fillings replaced with tooth-colored ones?

Yes. Removing the metal fillings comes at no extra cost. The dentist will place a resin or tooth-colored filling on the affected tooth. The procedure is completed within a day.

3. I have a missing tooth. What can be done to replace it?

Sani’s on-site dental lab can fabricate a partial denture as a replacement for the missing tooth. The dentist can put a dental bridge in place of the missing tooth.

As opposed to partial dentures, dental bridges are secure and feel like natural teeth.

Dr. Carl E. Misch in his book Dental Implant Prosthetics mentions that dental implants provide the best possible solution in such cases. Dr. Misch is an internationally recognized prosthodontist known for his valuable contributions to implantology.

The implant forms the artificial root for the missing tooth. The dentist places a crown on top of the implant when it has fused with the jawbone. The advantages of dental implants are:

If your jawbone has good density, dental implants may take two trips. The first trip is 2-3 days long. This is when the dentist will place the metal implant post into your jawbone. The doctor will use anesthesia for this process. You have to then wait for six months for the jawbone to grow into the surface of the dental implant. The second trip takes 3-5 days. This is when the dentist will place a crown on top of the implant.
