A look around before you come
Two treatment rooms, a sterilisation bay, and nothing to hide.
Most people arriving at a dental clinic for the first time are managing two separate anxieties: the treatment, and not knowing what the place is like. This page handles the second one.
The waiting room
You will hear the clinic before you see it.
Six chairs, a reception desk, and a wall of photographs of patients who let us put them up. The pink is not a design decision made by an agency. It has been that colour a long time and older patients would notice immediately if it changed.
Appointments are booked so that people are not stacked on top of each other. If you are early you will usually get the room to yourself for a few minutes, which some patients specifically ask for.
The treatment rooms
Two chairs, and the screen is turned towards you.
Whatever is on the X-ray, you see it at the same time the dentist does. That single habit removes most of the mistrust people carry into a dental clinic.
Room one
The main operatory. Implant placement, prosthodontic work and longer appointments happen here. Daylight from the window, which matters more than people expect when matching the colour of a front tooth.
Room two
Examinations, cleanings, fillings and follow-ups. Having a second room means a family can come together and nobody sits in the waiting area for two hours.
Sterilisation
The room patients never ask to see.
They should ask. It is a fair question and any clinic worth sitting in will show you.
Instruments are scrubbed, sealed in pouches and autoclaved. The pouch carries an indicator strip that changes colour only when the cycle has actually reached temperature and pressure, so a sealed pouch is evidence rather than a promise. Pouches are opened in front of you, not before you arrive.
Disposable items are disposable and are not reused. Surfaces between patients are wiped down, and the suction lines are flushed.
None of this is remarkable. It is simply what should be happening, and you are entitled to see where it happens.
Ask to see this room at any clinic you are considering, not only this one.
The equipment
What the machines are actually for.
Technology lists on dental websites are usually there to look impressive. Here is what each of these changes about your treatment.
Portable X-ray at the chair
Tooth X-rays are taken at the chair on a portable unit, so the image is on the screen in seconds and you never move rooms. It shows what is happening under a tooth, including the things you cannot feel yet.
CBCT scan when the case needs one
A three-dimensional scan, taken at an imaging centre nearby and read here with you. Before an implant it shows bone width and exactly where the nerve runs, which a flat X-ray cannot. This is what turns implant placement from a judgement into a plan.
Digital scanning and smile preview
Scans instead of impression trays where possible, and a design of your proposed smile laid over your own photograph, so you approve the result before anything is made.
A screen at the chair
The least impressive item on this list and the one that changes the appointment most. You look at your own X-ray while it is being explained.
Finding the door
Second floor, marble wall, lit sign.
Earth Darshan is on the corner of the 8th Khetwadi Lane. Take the lift to the second floor and the clinic is directly in front of you at 203.
Three nameplates beside the door. Dr. Ashok R. Parekh, Dr. Anuja A. Parekh, Dr. Amaey A. Parekh.
If you can see this sign, you are in the right place.
