Frequently Asked Questions

No. Dr. Thukaram has practiced orthodontics and implant dentistry in Sangareddy for over 10 years. The equipment, materials, and protocols are the same ones used in Hyderabad clinics. You save 4 hours of travel per visit and get the same quality of treatment, right here in Majeera Nagar.

At Heerya, your treatment is done by Dr. Thukaram himself, a senior doctor with 10+ years of experience, not a student under supervision. You get fewer sittings, fewer complications, and a clear fixed cost upfront. For braces, implants, and cosmetic work, that difference in outcome is worth it.

We plan every case around your schedule and give you the visit calendar upfront. Most ceramic and metal braces at Heerya take 14 to 18 months with 4 to 6 chair visits during that time. Invisalign is similar in duration but with fewer chair visits because aligners change at home. Implant cases are staged clearly, with dates for each stage given before you begin.

Every instrument at Heerya is autoclaved for 30 minutes at 134°C after a single use, chairs are cleaned between every patient, and our sterilisation process is open for any patient to see. Walk in any time before your appointment and we will show you exactly how it works.

Yes. Invisalign is particularly well-suited to working adults and college students because the aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for meals and presentations. Dr. Thukaram reviews progress every 6 weeks with a clinical scan, no impressions, no messy putty.

A root canal done under proper local anaesthesia is no more uncomfortable than a routine filling. At Heerya, local anaesthesia is administered carefully before the procedure begins. Most patients are surprised at how comfortable the experience is. Post-procedure soreness is normal for 1–2 days and is managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Braces cost at Heerya depends on the type chosen (metal, ceramic, or Invisalign) and the complexity of the case. Dr. Thukaram gives you a fixed cost quote before starting, no surprise bills midway. WhatsApp us with a recent X-ray or photo and we can give a ballpark range before your first visit.

Implant failure is rare when placed by an experienced doctor in healthy bone. Dr. Thukaram conducts a thorough pre-assessment including bone density evaluation before recommending an implant. Success rates for dental implants are above 95% with proper aftercare, which we guide you through step by step.

The Indian Dental Association recommends a first dental visit when a child turns 1, or when the first tooth appears. At Heerya, we welcome children from age 2 onwards. Early visits help children get comfortable with the dental environment and let Dr. Thukaram catch any milk-tooth or jaw development concerns early.

Yes. For higher-cost treatments like Invisalign and dental implants, Heerya offers a structured payment plan split across treatment milestones. Ask about the instalment schedule during your first consultation. We do not partner with third-party loan apps, payments are made directly to the clinic.

If you have prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, spontaneous toothache, swelling near the gum, or a tooth that hurts when you bite, those are signs the nerve may be involved and a root canal evaluation is needed. A simple filling handles surface decay only. Dr. Thukaram will assess with an X-ray and tell you clearly which one you need, and why.

Bring any recent dental X-rays if you have them (helps Dr. Thukaram plan faster), a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your basic health history (diabetes, blood pressure, or any ongoing conditions). If you are coming for orthodontic consultation, a recent phone photo of your teeth is helpful. Everything else we handle at the clinic.
