Your teeth do a lot of work every day. They help you eat, speak and smile with confidence. When something feels wrong, such as a sharp pain, a loose tooth or bleeding gums, you need a dentist close to home who will listen, explain and treat you with care. Denticare Dental & Implant Clinic is a dental clinic in Mogappair that offers complete dental care for children, adults and senior citizens in one place.
Located on Pari Road in Mogappair East, Chennai, Denticare provides general, preventive, restorative, cosmetic, orthodontic, implant and children’s dental treatment. The clinic is led by Dr. Gnanaraj Jayabal, a dentist with over 20 years of clinical experience. Every treatment at Denticare begins with a careful check, a clear explanation and a plan you understand and agree with.
About Denticare Dental & Implant Clinic
Denticare Dental & Implant Clinic was set up with one clear idea. Good dental care should be easy to understand, easy to reach and focused on the patient. Many people put off seeing a dentist because they feel nervous, unsure of the cost or confused by dental terms. Denticare was built to remove these worries.
At the clinic, the dentist takes time to understand why you have come in. You are asked about your symptoms, your medical history and what matters most to you. Some patients want quick relief from pain. Others want to replace missing teeth or improve the look of their smile. Whatever your reason, your care plan is shaped around your needs, not a fixed package.
The clinic serves families from Mogappair East, Mogappair West, Anna Nagar, Anna Nagar West Extension, Padi, Ambattur, Nolambur, Thirumangalam and nearby areas. Being a neighbourhood dental clinic in Mogappair means patients do not have to travel far for regular check ups or treatments that need several visits, such as root canals, braces or implants.
Our Approach to Patient Care
Denticare follows a simple approach for every patient.
- Listen first: Your concerns are heard before any examination begins.
- Explain clearly: Findings are shown using X rays, scans or photos, and explained in simple words.
- Offer choices: Where more than one treatment is possible, each option is explained with its benefits, limits and cost.
- Respect your decision: You are never pushed to start treatment on the same day.
- Follow up: After treatment, you are given clear aftercare advice and reviewed when needed.
This approach helps patients feel more relaxed and confident about their dental health.
Care for the Whole Family
Denticare looks after patients at every stage of life. Young children are introduced to the dental chair in a calm, friendly way so that they grow up without fear of the dentist. Teenagers can get help with crooked teeth, bite problems and cavities. Adults can get fillings, root canals, crowns, cosmetic care and gum treatment. Older patients can get dentures, implants and full mouth care to help them chew and speak comfortably again.
Having one clinic for the whole family makes it easier to plan visits and keep track of everyone’s dental health.

Dental Treatments at Our Dental Clinic in Mogappair
Denticare offers a wide range of dental treatments. Below is a simple guide to each area of care.
Preventive and General Dentistry
Prevention is the base of good oral health. Regular visits help your dentist spot small problems early, when they are easier and less costly to treat.
- Dental check ups: A full check of your teeth, gums, tongue and mouth.
- Teeth cleaning: Scaling and polishing to remove plaque and hard deposits (tartar) that brushing cannot remove.
- Fluoride treatment: A protective coating that helps strengthen enamel and lower the risk of decay.
- Sealants: A thin coating placed on the chewing surfaces of back teeth, mainly for children, to block food and germs from settling in deep grooves.
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative care repairs teeth that are decayed, cracked, broken or worn down.
- Tooth coloured fillings: These fill cavities and match the natural shade of your teeth.
- Crowns: A crown is a cap that covers a weak or damaged tooth to protect it and restore its shape.
- Bridges: A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by joining a false tooth to the teeth on either side.
- Root canal treatment: When the inner part of a tooth (the pulp) becomes infected, root canal treatment removes the infection and saves the natural tooth. It is done under local anaesthesia.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Cosmetic dentistry improves the look of your smile. Before any cosmetic treatment, your dentist checks that your teeth and gums are healthy.
- Teeth whitening: Lightens stains caused by tea, coffee, tobacco or ageing.
- Smile design: A planned approach that looks at the shape, size, colour and line of your teeth to suit your face.
- Veneers: Thin shells fixed to the front of teeth to cover chips, gaps or stains.
Orthodontics
Orthodontic treatment gently moves teeth into a better position over time. Straighter teeth are easier to clean and can improve your bite.
- Metal braces: Strong and suitable for many types of tooth movement.
- Ceramic braces: Tooth coloured brackets that are less visible.
- Clear aligners: Removable, see through trays that move teeth in small steps.
- Bite correction: Treatment for overbite, underbite, crossbite and open bite.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small post placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it heals and joins with the bone, a crown, bridge or denture is fixed on top. Implants can help you chew better, speak clearly and protect the jawbone from shrinking.
Implant options discussed at Denticare include:
- Single tooth implants: To replace one missing tooth without touching the teeth next to it.
- Multiple tooth implants: To replace several missing teeth.
- All on 4 and All on 6: A full set of fixed teeth supported on four or six implants, for people who have lost most or all of their teeth.
- Zygoma implants: For selected cases where the upper jaw has very little bone.
- Bone grafting: To build up bone when there is not enough support for an implant.
Before suggesting implants, your dentist will check your bone, gums and general health with X rays or scans. Health conditions such as diabetes, smoking habits and gum health are also discussed, as they can affect healing.
Oral Surgery
- Wisdom tooth removal: For wisdom teeth that are painful, infected or growing at an angle.
- Minor oral surgery: Small procedures on the gums and soft tissues.
- Complex extractions: Removal of broken or deeply placed teeth.
Children’s Dentistry
Children need dental care that is gentle and patient. At Denticare, the focus is on prevention, early treatment and teaching good habits. Children’s check ups, cleaning, fluoride, sealants, fillings and other treatment are provided in a calm setting. Where needed, sedation options are discussed with parents in detail before any treatment begins.
Specialised Care
- Full mouth rehabilitation: A planned set of treatments to rebuild teeth that are badly worn, broken or missing.
- TMJ treatment: Care for pain, clicking or stiffness in the jaw joint.
- Gum care: Treatment for bleeding, swollen or receding gums to protect teeth from loosening.
Technology and Sterilisation at Denticare
Modern tools help dentists see problems clearly and treat them with more accuracy. As a dental clinic in Mogappair that also handles implant and full mouth cases, Denticare uses:
- Digital X rays: These give clear images quickly and use a lower radiation dose than older film X rays.
- Intraoral scanners: A small camera that takes a digital impression of your teeth, so there is no need for messy impression material in most cases.
- Laser assisted procedures: Used for selected gum and soft tissue treatments.
- Computer guided implant planning: Helps plan the position of implants before surgery.
Patient safety is a priority. Instruments are cleaned and sterilised after every use, and treatment areas are cleaned between patients. Single use items are used where possible.
What Happens at Your First Visit
Knowing what to expect can make your first visit easier.
- Welcome and health history: You will be asked about your general health, medicines, allergies and past dental work.
- Discussion of your concern: The dentist asks what brought you in and how long the problem has been there.
- Examination: Your teeth, gums, bite, jaw and soft tissues are checked.
- X rays if needed: These show decay between teeth, infection at the root and bone levels.
- Treatment plan: You receive a clear explanation of what was found, the treatment options, the number of visits and the cost.
You can start treatment when you feel ready. There is no pressure to decide on the same day.
Signs You Should See a Dentist
| Sign | What it may mean | When to visit |
| Tooth pain or a dark spot on a tooth | Tooth decay | Soon, before the decay spreads |
| Bleeding gums while brushing | Gum inflammation | Within a few weeks |
| Sensitivity to hot or cold | Worn enamel or decay | At your next check up, or sooner if it gets worse |
| Missing or loose teeth | Gum disease or tooth loss | Soon, to discuss replacement options |
| Bad breath that does not go away | Gum problems or decay | Within a few weeks |
| Swelling in the face or gums | Infection | As soon as possible |
| Jaw pain or clicking | TMJ problem | Within a few weeks |
Dental Emergencies
Some dental problems need quick attention. These include severe toothache, swelling in the face or gums, a broken tooth, a lost filling or crown, and a tooth that has been knocked out. If you have a dental emergency, please call the clinic before you come so the team can prepare for your visit.
If a permanent tooth is knocked out:
- Hold the tooth by the crown (the white part), not the root.
- Rinse it gently with clean water if it is dirty. Do not scrub it.
- Keep it moist in milk or inside your cheek.
- Reach a dentist quickly. A knocked out tooth has the best chance of being saved if it is placed back within about 30 to 60 minutes.
Understanding Treatment Costs
Dental treatment costs differ from person to person. They depend on the condition of your teeth, the number of teeth that need care, the type of treatment and the materials used. For example, the cost of a crown can change based on whether it is metal, ceramic or zirconia.
For this reason, Denticare shares the cost only after an examination. Your dentist explains the fees for each option before treatment starts. This helps you plan and decide without any surprises.
Simple Ways to Keep Your Teeth Healthy
Good habits at home are just as important as regular dental visits.
- Brush twice a day for two minutes with fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between your teeth with floss or interdental brushes every day.
- Cut down on sugary snacks, sweets and fizzy drinks.
- Drink water after meals to wash away food bits.
- Avoid tobacco in all forms, as it harms gums and raises the risk of oral cancer.
- Replace your toothbrush every three months.
- Visit a dentist every six months for a check up and cleaning.
