1. RCT (Root Canel Treatment)
2. Smile Design
3. Orthodontic treatment
4. Laser gum surgery
5. Laser Dentistry
6. Dental implant fixing
7. Porcelain inlays and onlays
8. Cosmetic makeovers
9. General dentistry
10. RCT (single sitting)
11. Scaling/Polishing
12. Orthodontics

My teeth issue:
The molar tooth was infected. I went to other dentists earlier. They didn't follow the filling procedure properly. So the molar tooth was heavily infected after a few years.
Treatment:
I visited the Smile Solutions clinic after viewing the Dr. M. Srikanth profile in Practo. The doctor advised me to extract the tooth and do an implant. I told him to save the tooth. Then the doctor started the root canal treatment. The doctor told me that it would take 3 weeks to complete. Because of the heavy infection. In between 3 weeks, the doctor identified other decayed teeth and recommended filling, which was completed. Also, the doctor advised me to do a deep cleaning.
The doctor told me that the infection is reduced and the RCT tooth is ready for further procedures. Such as accessing and cleaning the roots, drilling through the tooth to access the root canals and pulp chamber, shaping the canals, filling the canals, filling the access hole, and healing. Once it was completed, the doctor grinded the tooth to measure the crown.
The doctor explained to me about crown types and the cost of the crown. Metal crown, porcelain fused metal crown, all-ceramic crown, CAD/CAM zirconia crown. I chose the CAD/CAM zirconia crown. Zirconia crowns are incredibly strong and resistant to fracture. With proper oral care and regular visits to the dentist, zirconia crowns can easily last 15 to 20 years. Now everything is fine. Let's see what happens in the future.
Actually, before every visit to the clinic, I studied about cleaning, cleaning instruments, filling, filling materials, deep cleaning, root canel treatment, RCT procedures, types of crowns, and which crown is giving more life. Also, cost comparison with other dentists for each treatment. That's why I didn't discuss much about treatment with the doctors in the Smile Solutions dental clinic. The cost for each treatment is reasonable at the Smile Solution dental clinic. The output is fantastic. Dr. M. Srikanth is very friendly. The way other doctors and assistants treated me was great. I am recommending this doctor for dental patients.
Thank you, doctor.

I would say, just be careful before deciding to go for the treatment with Dr. Shrikanth. Undoubtedly, he is an expert in the industry and he does his best to walk out of the clinic with a smile. The problem or may be a co-incidence I had with my treatment is that the the Dr. Shrikanth was away when I was available and the other way around. I didn't expect that 80% of the treatment tasks will be delegated to his junior dentists or may be experienced but not as an exper like Dr. Shrikanth. I am totally happy about the bridging done for me but the dental crown fixed for me on the upper molar has been a real pain since it was done. My best advise to anyone who reads my review is that just make sure that he is available during your treatment. Complicated cases like mine were undermined and I have been going through the pain though I paid a good amount of money for the whole treatement.
Apart from that, the staff in the reception and other support function are extremely helpful and friendly. I doubt whether I will book an appointment with Dr. Shrikanth again because of the fact that he isn't the one actually treating you most of the times.
Thanks,
Seemon
