With cutting-edge technologies, such as advanced imaging systems and precision diagnostics, we ensure accurate detection, early intervention, and comprehensive care for maintaining optimal oral health. We are equipped with the following state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment: Dental X-Rays: Essential Diagnostic Tools Dental X-ray: Overall, dental X-ray is essential for comprehensive dental care, enabling accurate diagnoses and effective treatments, while ensuring patient safety and well-being. Our dental X-ray equipment emits very low levels of radiation and provides instant images for immediate analysis. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT): CBCT is a highly advanced 3D imaging technique used for a more comprehensive evaluation of dental conditions. Our CBCT captures comprehensive, detailed 3D images of dental structures, bones, soft tissues, and nerve pathways in a single scan. Our CBCT technology offers notably more detailed data than conventional X-ray while using a lower radiation dose than traditional CT scans, thus ensuring maximal patient safety. Orthopantomogram (OPG) Orthopantomogram (OPG): An OPG is a panoramic dental X-ray that captures images of the upper and lower jaw. The OPG also reveals the number, position, and growth of all the teeth, including those that have yet to erupt through the gums. This equipment is particularly assists in orthodontic treatment planning. Intraoral Digital Scanner Intraoral Digital Scanner: Our 3Shape TRIOS dental intraoral scanner is an innovative handheld 3D scanning device that displays a patient’s three-dimensional dental impression on a screen almost immediately after the scanning process is completed. This machine helps patients gain a clearer understanding of their oral health. The accuracy of this scanner minimises the need for remake of restorations, helping patients avoid returning to the dentist for corrections and leading to improved treatment outcomes. Patient Testimonials I am M L Sinhal, 78-year-old male, and I have been under the care of Dr. Gauri Merchant, Head of the Dentistry Department at the Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital (HNH), for over 10 years. My association with HNH dates back to its inception, having worked as its Principal Project Engineer. Due to my advanced age, I have undergone extensive dental treatments involving all four sides of my jaws, including extractions, implants, crowns, and bridges. Dr. Merchant’s expertise and gentle touch have made these procedures comfortable and stress-free. I always felt I was in good hands. Dr. Merchant is also very punctual with her appointments, often arriving before the scheduled time. Additionally, she has always been available on WhatsApp, to promptly address any concerns or questions I had, which has been very reassuring. Her professionalism, compassion, and dedication have earned my respect and gratitude. I am thankful for the care she has provided me over the years. Sincerely, M L Sinhal We admitted my 8-year-old daughter for emergency fracture surgery in the Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, and all I can say is that I have never received such exceptional care in our lives. There’s nothing scarier than your daughter being in pain and under distress. Dr Gauri Merchant, along with her team, was with us for the entire period and didn’t let go of our hands until we were discharged. But it’s not just the medical care, it was also the compassion of the nurses and even the TPA! Dr. Merchant’s follow-up has been exceptional and I do believe that the hospital is a testament to the medical infrastructure of Mumbai. I feel safer knowing I have such a capable team on my side.
