I have a few decayed teeth and some missing gaps that make me self-conscious about smiling. Since I'm diabetic, I'm worried about pain and complications can laser dentistry help replace my teeth with minimal discomfort?

It's understandable that you feel self-conscious about your smile due to decayed teeth and missing gaps. Fortunately, there are several effective restorative and cosmetic dental treatments available to help you regain your confidence. These include options like dental implants, bridges, and crowns, which can repair damaged teeth and replace missing ones, as well as other treatments like veneers or bonding for cosmetic improvements. Consulting with a dentist is the best way to determine the most suitable solution for your specific situation.

I'm trying to figure out the cost of getting braces in Powai, Mumbai, though I'm open to other areas if needed. My alignment isn't too severe, but I've got these sharp outward canines and some inward misalignment with my incisors. I'm torn between going for digital smile treatment or traditional braces. Could you give me some insights into which option might be better and what the cost might look like?
some approximate cost ranges for different types of braces: Traditional metal braces: Typically cost between INR 25,000 and INR 60,000 Ceramic braces: Cost between INR 40,000 and INR 85,000 Lingual braces: Cost between INR 70,000 to INR 2,50,000 Invisalign: Cost between INR 150,000 to INR 3,50,000

One side of my cheek looks slimmer than the other and my bite feels off too. I've heard about jaw surgery but I'm not sure if it's necessary for me. Are there any other less expensive options to fix this?
Yes, there are alternative options to jaw surgery for correcting facial asymmetry and jaw alignment issues, especially for mild to moderate cases. These include non-surgical approaches like braces, Invisalign, or dental appliances to address malocclusion and potentially improve facial symmetry. For more cosmetic concerns, fillers, facial exercises, or even Botox injections can help balance facial features. In some cases, surgery might be necessary, but it's not always the first or only solution.
