I'm DR NEERAJ SAHNI

Busting Myths!

There is a pre conceived notion that elderly people or people above the age of 70 are at a higher risk of implant failures which has been proved nothing but a myth. In fact, elderly people and diabetic patients are more likely to experience tooth loss and gum diseases than those without diabetes. Does that mean they remain deprived of their right to gleaming grin? Several studies have revealed that age is no bar and in no way associated with the success or failure rates of dental implants.

Our dental Implants success rates on fairly controlled Diabetic and High Blood Pressure patients with proper treatment planning and maintenance of Post surgery Oral Hygiene are as good as on normal individuals.

In the course of my practice, I have often been questioned that being a proficient dentist and efficiently practicing Special Needs Dentistry, why did I choose to study Higher Medicine? Patients often wonder why I need to collect their medical history and ask important health questions.

Well, being discontent with the excellence in the field of Dentistry, I decided to go for MBBS from UK since I firmly believe that Dentistry should not be restricted to being good craftsmen, but it should be able to promote the good overall health of the patient.

Dentistry and Medicine are two separate fields of study. But this artificial division is being proved to be appalling for the patient’s general health.I consider, as we are one body, it is time we bring the mouth back to the body.

Let me explain what called for the Oral Health to be integrated into the chronic disease prevention programs and medicines.

To Start With

The very first dental school was established in Baltimore, US back in 1840. Instead of focusing on Medicinal aspect of Dentistry, it centered on the tremendously good craftsmanship of the dentists. Soon dentists and doctors realized that an infected tooth can contaminate other parts of the body too and in early 1900’s Dentistry started shifting back towards medicine.

I witnessed the growing body of evidences that link the health of the teeth and gums to the rest of the body, and thus, decided to forge connections between the medical and dental worlds. My present Dental Practice Philosophy revolves around Mind, Body and Soul Medicine. I opted for Medicine after my Dental Specialization as I realized:

• Periodontal disease, which is also known as gum disease, is linked to the growth of diabetes, high blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease. Pregnant women with periodontitis are likely to build up pre-eclampsia, a potentially grave complication of pregnancy, and deliver low birth-weight babies.
• It has been observed that around 80% of the Asian populace suffers from Diabetes and High Blood Pressure. The medication of these diseases comprise of the severe side effect that knocks off the salivary gland. The mouth containing comparatively less saliva is more prone to Oral diseases. While treating such patients, dentists have to correlate both these aspects simultaneously. This can be approached only with the profound knowledge of Medicine along with Dentistry.
• TMJ (Tempero-Mandibular Joint) Disorders should include CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapies) if stress is outlined as the main cause along with Dental treatment modalities.
• Recently, researchers have discovered some definite links between periodontal disease and heart disease. And I am sure that, in the near future, we will be able to identify more correlations between oral health and other diseases of the body.

Medicine is Fundamental for Substantial Dentistry!

Dental education in Dental Schools today produces exceptional and skilled clinicians with an in depth understanding of Oral Health but their perspective on overall health is often limited. Whereas, it calls for a complete medical history to investigate and diagnose the underlying medical causes to effectively provide dental solutions.

All thanks to my meticulous study of Dentistry and Medicine that I have been able to determine the close connection between Oral Health and Overall Health. I use urbane methods for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of Oral diseases.

Twenty first century is witnessing a remarkable upsurge in the oral diseases marked by the changes in an individual’s dietary habits. It is equally increasing the awareness of dental health as umpteen numbers of people are seeking suitable dental solutions for their dental problems with minimal expenditures and uncompromised working hours. Dental care is generally sky-high and over priced in the western world. So what do you do for the best care of your mouth? The answer lies in the HEADLINE itself.DENTAL AND MEDICAL TOURISM. The title is exciting enough to blitz your dental and medical treatment agony and at the same time to surge you with the thrill of a luxurious getaway.

Basically, Dental Tourism, also known as Global Healthcare, is an expedition where you travel to other destinations to avail the benefits of world class dental services at a much affordable price (of course, not to forget the perks of vacationing at exotic destinations that come along).

The Land of Diversities is now The Largest Dental and Medical Tourism Hub!

India is emerging as the most preferred destination by the international patients for their dental solutions. Dental tourists find a true heaven in India and here are the few reasons behind it:

• India, with its large pool of highly qualified and internationally trained dentists and doctors, is a center for multitude of dental services.
• Availability of inexpensive treatments with cutting edge modern technology adhering to international standards and world class infrastructure is what makes India stand out.
• The cost of travelling to India including airfare and all the luxurious amenities in search of dental treatment is economical without compromising on the quality of services.
• The dental and medical services provided in India are approximately 70% cheaper than the western countries.
• 500 years old cultural heritage and easy access to ancient forms of medicine such as Ayurveda, Naturopathy, Yoga and Acupuncture are a source of attractions for international patients.

Dental and Medical Tourism - My Enterprise!

Having acquired my Dental Specialization from London, UK and having global work experience, I was inspired by the innovative concept of dental and medical tourism which is gaining momentum lately. I was resolved to bring all my expertise back to my homeland with the internationally recognized medical know-how and the intention to provide quality dental care at significant low cost.

Are you self conscious about the appearance of your teeth and gums? Do you hesitate to smile in public, covering your mouth when you laugh or keeping your mouth shut in the photos? Whereas, the fact is, your smile is the only feature that is very first and immediately noticed and that tells the world how you are doing. Your smile has a power to change your entire day, your mood, your poise so why not feel confident about and make the world admire your flashing grin? Fortunately, modern dentistry offers a potentially ideal solution for the people who are discontent or uncomfortable with the condition of their gums and teeth in the form of fully customized SMILE MAKEOVER or DESIGNING a SMILE that fits your face and is unique to you!

Never heard of the term Smile Makeover/ Smile Designing/ Hollywood Smile? Let me tell you what it is!

Your smile tends to lose its vibrancy with the aging process, tooth loss, discoloration, excessive grinding, cavities, tooth decay, misshapen teeth or minor orthodontic issues. In most of the cases, imperfect smile is the major cause that hampers one’s self-confidence and physical appearance. With a smile makeover, you get to design several aspects of your teeth to finally flaunt your dream smile or the secretly desired Hollywood Smile!

Smile Makeover is an overhaul of many different types of restorative procedures and cosmetic dentistry techniques that has a prominent focus on the esthetics appearance of your smile. Any underlying dental issues need to be treated before you wear your perfect grin. Smile Makeover is the customization or designing of your teeth to achieve the more youthful, attractive smile in a healthy mouth that you have always wished for.

"A Smile Makeover is an art combined with explicit finesse and scientific expertise to give your imperfect smile the magical transcendence it deserves."

For a perfect smile makeover, I strongly believe that a dentist must be an ace clinician, a skilled artist and an unambiguous communicator. I pay a close attention to every minute detail from initial consultation to planning, treatment and follow-up care. The key to my successful smile makeover treatments is creating the smile that the patient wants, not just what I would design. The satisfaction of my patients with glowing beam is what makes my numerous efforts all worthy.

Having a dilemma of what to expect, and how to go for a just right smile makeover? Let me elucidate some of the parameters that I work upon:

• Bite assessment: I completely study and analyze your bite when you come for a consultation. Having a close look at your bite edge to edge I decide whether the dental veneers or the dental crowns are best suited for you. For instance, if your upper teeth hit your lower teeth, I generally do not recommend veneers as they may fall off. If your bite is right, I suggest you to go for dental crowns.
• Fixing Dental Issues:before adorning your teeth and giving them esthetics appeal, your major or minor dental issues need to be fixed. Only in a healthy mouth you will be able to enjoy the stunning grin.
• Facial Contour: although absurd it may sound, but your face and lip contour play a major role in defining your smile. The length, width, shapes and alignment of your teeth is enhanced to match up your facial and lip profile to create that oh-so-dazzling smile. Also, the right grooves need to be maintained by closing the gaps if found any.
• Shade Selection of your Teeth:a pleasing and attractive smile is a result of the ideal harmony of your complexion, eye ball color, hair color, lip color, lip contour, your ethnicity, and sunlight exposure. I take into consideration all the mentioned parameters while deciding upon the hue and brightness of your smile.
• Creating the Mock-up: my ultimate goal is the satisfaction of my patients. Once the dental veneers or crowns are made as per your requirement, trials are carried out before fabricating it permanently. Your slightest discontent or hesitation is the reason enough for me to replace the teeth n number of times until you give me a thumbs up.
• Warranty on Dental Products and Treatment: I provide 15 years of warranty on the customized German made dental crowns and veneers. The crowns and veneers are glued using the Japanese bonding cement that is considered the best in the world.

I Love Scattering Smiles!

I not only help you transform your smile but make you smile more often than ever by boosting your confidence and emotional well-being. A smile makeover by me or the smile of your choice will help you look significantly younger and more rejuvenated. I gear you up to envelope yourself with the poise and grace and captivate hearts with your flashing smile!

Ans. I am a perfectionist when it comes to work. I was a trained dentist with a keen interest in Maxillofacial Medicine & Surgery. I found my dental knowledge to be incomplete when it came to handling patients having severe medical conditions. A dentist, generally doesn’t have much idea to handle medical ailments and there is a lot of void to treat such patients. I think I got carried away as I wanted to deliver best to my dental patients after adhering and liaising up their specialists. For example, I treated so many gum enlargement cases by changing one medicine when patients were advised gum surgeries costing them fortune. All, I did was to request patient's cardiologists to change their medicine as one of the side effect of the drug was causing gum enlargement. Science is beautiful and overlapping can be seen in almost all health conditions. Moreover, it's mandatory in UK to do Medicine if someone seeks a career in specialists Maxillofacial Surgery & Oral Medicine.

Answered Dr. Neeraj Sahni

Interviewer Mr. Jiten Shukla

Ans. Practicing Specialist Dentistry is infact very easy. All you need is a good manager to run the show. Patient knows that No one is Perfect and I would want my patients to get the best at a minimal price. Many hidden medical conditions are picked up while going though different hands of Specialist as all clinicians have a different eye. Specialist Dentistry is not confined to complicated or simple cases but more about patient satisfaction and I, Dr. Neeraj Sahni like to buy blessings by rendering the best to our patients. We are handling lives and life is precious.

Ans. Difficult questions have very simple answers. Similarly, my prime focus is to diagnose the problem correctly, finding the true cause and then to correlate it's consequences to various organs. I, then prefer to educate my patient and spend maximum time in explaining his condition without use of any medical jargon. I devote time and ask my patients to dig questions, answer all unless they are fully convinced. I have a mind set that I won't be seeing this patient again in my practice for his retreatment, patients should bring referrals and not similar problems when treated once. Having done all this, I sit with my specialist team and we divide our work to give the maximum benefit to our patient. Dental or Medical Practice is not about practicing, it's all about safe practice and we have mastered ourselves to say NO when we can't assure our patient a better prognosis. You will see me as an overall treatment planner, advisor and a service provider restricting to my specialty. Yes, I do specialize in Oral Medicine / Oral Cancer, Oral Surgery, Head & Neck Surgeries and have engaged myself with an Oral Cancer Free India mission to pick oral cancer at an early stage as social cause.

Ans. Rules & Regulations differ in respect to countries but human body has the same composition across globe. Incidence of diseases may vary according to ethnicities and Transcultural Health comes into picture. For example a Swedish person is more likely to get an oral cancer if he starts chewing betel nut and keeps it beneath his tongue whereas an Indian is less likely to show such result. Similarly an Indian would have more chances of developing an oral cancer if he starts sniffing carcinogens than his Swedish counterpart. I love travelling and unleashed ethnic trends by co relating whatever I learnt. If you bring sociology, psychology, economics, medicine & dentistry at one table, you will be surprised that every dental or medical ailment is strongly linked with these streams. I had a passion to return back to my homeland when I realised medical & dental treatments were very expensive. Most of the Patient comes from Africa, middle east and Europe and USA. Africa and deeper areas of middle east because of the lack of good medical facilities. European, sector because of the cheaper and reliable health packages. Eastern European countries have a poor health system and UK is suffering lot of issues with its NHS. Indian doctors or doctors of Indian origin are constituting a good number of any healthcare system in the first world. So, our expertise is already sold to them and the patients have a build in trust towards India. World Class Treatment, State Of Art Hospital Infrastructure, Technology, Experience and 50-60 % lesser treatment cost is definitely a strong driving factor for medical tourism to India.

Ans. As I said, I believe in a specialist practice and work more like a Dental Architect. Served so many specialities at UCLH (Univ College London Hospitals), I get an insight of the complete treatment and its very easy to assign amongst my specialist team members.

Ans. Smile on their faces & trust in my patient's eyes keep me going. patients are happy when they leave and they proudly ask my team member for a picture. I get numerous phone calls, messages wishing me at various occasions. referral from an old patient is the most rewarding because it sums up my team effort.

Ans. D-Care has a preventive concept and its team is led by globally trained doctors who understand the missing healthcare model in India. D-Care is all about quality and perfection.

Ans. My Medical Mentors were who's who of the healthcare industry and they asked me to visualize every medical & dental condition. They taught me a tooth extraction and later on provoked me to visualise that tooth extraction in a diabetic or a stroke patient thus, reaching to every arm of a treatment modality. Stars, moon and space fascinated me since my childhood and I went further down & started questioning myself about the effect of gravity on our saliva, weight, blood volume, specific gravity, bleeding & clotting time etc. It was then, I asked my researcher friend to find some salivary values and get going.
