Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of braces in Ahmedabad depends on the type of braces and complexity of your case. At Zeya Dental in Makarba, metal braces typically range from ₹40,000–₹65,000 for a full treatment, ceramic braces from ₹55,000–₹80,000, and Invisalign from ₹80,000–₹1,20,000. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden charges. Book a free consultation for a personalised quote.

Metal braces use stainless steel brackets and wires — the most durable and cost-effective option. Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured or clear brackets that blend with your teeth, making them far less visible. Both work equally well clinically. Ceramic braces are popular with adults and working professionals in Ahmedabad who want a discreet option.

The Indian Orthodontic Society and international guidelines recommend a first orthodontic evaluation at age 7. At this stage, Dr. Sumaiya can identify developing problems — like crossbites, crowding, or jaw issues — and, if needed, begin early interceptive treatment. Many problems are far easier and cheaper to correct when caught early.

Most braces treatments at Zeya Dental take between 12 and 24 months, depending on the complexity of your case. Simple spacing or crowding cases can be completed faster. Dr. Sumaiya gives every patient a realistic timeline estimate at the first consultation.

Yes. Zeya Orthodontic & Dental Clinic on Sarkhej–Makarba Road is one of the few specialist clinics offering certified Invisalign treatment in the Makarba, Sarkhej, and Juhapura area of Ahmedabad. Invisalign is suitable for mild to moderate orthodontic cases and is especially popular with adults who want a removable, nearly invisible option.

There is mild pressure and soreness for 2–3 days after fitting braces and after each adjustment appointment. This is completely normal and manageable with over-the-counter pain relief. Dr. Sumaiya uses gentle adjustment techniques to keep discomfort minimal. Most patients adjust within the first week and have no ongoing pain.

Absolutely. There is no upper age limit for orthodontic treatment. At Zeya Dental, a significant portion of our braces and Invisalign patients are adults aged 20–45. Orthodontic treatment works at any age — the biology of tooth movement does not stop in adulthood.

Modern root canal treatment performed with rotary endodontic equipment — as used at Zeya Dental — is virtually painless. The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, and most patients are surprised by how comfortable it is. Any post-procedure soreness typically resolves within 24–48 hours.

At Zeya Dental Clinic in Makarba, root canal treatment (RCT) costs approximately ₹5,000–₹12,000 depending on which tooth is being treated (front teeth are simpler; back molars are more complex) and whether a crown is required afterward. This is significantly more affordable than private dental care in the UK, US, or East Africa.

At Zeya Dental, most root canals are completed in a single appointment using advanced rotary endodontic techniques. Complex cases with severe infection may require two visits. Dr. Sumaiya will inform you clearly at assessment how many appointments your specific case needs.

In most cases, yes — especially for back teeth (premolars and molars) that take heavy biting forces. A crown protects the treated tooth from fracture and restores full function. Dr. Sumaiya will include the crown recommendation and cost in your initial treatment plan so there are no surprises.

Untreated tooth infection can spread to surrounding bone and adjacent teeth, potentially leading to tooth loss, jaw infection, and in severe cases systemic complications. Early RCT saves your natural tooth — extraction followed by an implant costs significantly more and takes longer. Dr. Sumaiya strongly recommends addressing tooth pain early.

At Zeya Dental Clinic in Makarba, a single dental implant costs approximately ₹35,000–₹55,000 — including the implant, abutment, and crown. This is 70–80% less than implant costs in the UK or USA, with equivalent quality using biocompatible titanium implants and international sterilisation protocols.

With proper care — regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups — dental implants can last 15–25 years or more. The implant itself (the titanium root) can last a lifetime. The crown placed on top may need replacement after 10–15 years depending on wear.

Most adults with good general health and adequate jawbone density are suitable for implants. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or active gum disease need to be managed before implant placement. Dr. Sumaiya conducts a thorough assessment — including X-rays — to determine your suitability before recommending implant treatment.

Professional in-clinic teeth whitening at Zeya Dental costs significantly less than equivalent treatments in the UK or abroad. The procedure takes approximately 60 minutes and delivers noticeable whitening in a single session. Contact us for current pricing — we periodically offer new patient promotions.

A smile makeover is a personalised combination of cosmetic dental procedures designed to transform the overall appearance of your smile. At Zeya Dental it typically involves some combination of teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, ceramic crowns, orthodontic correction, and gum contouring — depending on your individual goals. Dr. Sumaiya designs each makeover around the patient's face, skin tone, and desired outcome.

We recommend a first dental visit by age 2–3, or as soon as your child's first teeth have appeared. Early visits familiarise children with the dental environment, allow Dr. Sumaiya to check for early decay or developmental issues, and build a positive, fear-free relationship with dental care from childhood.

Yes — our clinic environment is designed to be calm, friendly, and child-focused. Dr. Sumaiya and our team are experienced in treating nervous children with patience and a tell-show-do approach that builds trust before any treatment begins. We never rush a child or force treatment.
