Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions.
Is getting an implant painful?
No. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic and usually takes 40–60 minutes. Mild discomfort afterwards typically settles within two to three days.
How long do implants last?
With proper care and check-ups twice a year, implants last 20 years or more. We provide a 10-year warranty.
At what age should a child first visit?
We recommend a first visit after the first tooth appears, around age one — not for treatment, but to get comfortable with the setting.
Do you offer instalment payments?
Yes. We offer 3, 6 and 12-month instalment plans. Ask at reception or call us for details.
How often should I have a hygiene visit?
Twice a year. Every three to four months if you wear braces or smoke.
Can I have dental treatment while pregnant?
Yes — the second trimester is the best window. Do tell us in advance so we can choose safe anaesthesia and protection.
What age can braces be fitted?
Once the permanent teeth are through, usually from age 12. There's no upper limit — we treat patients in their forties and fifties.
Can I walk in without an appointment?
For acute pain — absolutely, we'll see you without a queue. For planned treatment, booking ahead saves you time.
I'm allergic to anaesthetic — what should I do?
Please mention it at your consultation. We stock several different agents and can arrange allergy testing.
Is a CBCT scan harmful?
Modern CBCT exposure is very low — one scan is comparable to the natural background radiation of an hour-long flight.
Does whitening damage enamel?
Professional whitening doesn't erode enamel. Just avoid staining food and drink for 48 hours afterwards.
Do you provide a warranty?
Yes — two years on fillings, five on prosthetics and ten on implants. The terms are set out in your treatment agreement.
What languages do you speak?
Uzbek and Russian with every dentist. English with Dilshod Rakhimov and Sardor Toshmatov.
Is there parking?
Yes, there's free parking in front of the building. It's a five-minute walk from Shahriston metro station.
