Cerec Omnicam Scanning in Facets Dental (Premium Smile Designs)

Facets Dental is a private multi-studio practice in Kochi, India, founded in 1998. The clinic focuses on cosmetic transformations and orthodontic care under the "Premium Smile Designs" concept. With four locations across Kadavanthra, Panampilly Nagar, Fort Kochi, and Angamaly, it serves as a specialized hub for restorative and aesthetic dentistry.

Clinical Expertise and Care Standards

Facets Dental maintains high clinical standards through selective recruitment and rigorous internal training. The clinic hires only the top 5% of applying clinical candidates. A proprietary training program keeps the team updated on the latest dental research. To build patient trust, the clinic uses transparent pricing – dentists do not earn commissions on procedures.

The practice is led by experienced specialists:

• Dr. Seby Varghese – Founder with over 25 years of experience in aesthetic dentistry and smile design.
• Dr. Annmary Mathew – Lead Dental Specialist and expert in teeth whitening and cosmetic smile makeovers.

Both lead doctors bring around 25 years of clinical experience to patient cases.

Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry

The cosmetic department offers smile transformations using porcelain veneers, smile makeovers, and tooth jewelry. Professional teeth whitening is available as an in-office treatment that delivers results in about one hour. For patients who prefer gradual changes, home whitening kits work over 1–2 weeks. All cosmetic plans begin with a tailored consultation to discuss specific aesthetic goals.

Restorative services cover a range of functional and aesthetic dental needs:

• Porcelain veneers for chip and gap correction
• Crowns and bridges for tooth replacement
• Dental prosthetics for full mouth restoration
• Reversible tooth jewelry placement

Specialists use these methods to address worn teeth, gummy smiles, and discolored fillings.

Orthodontics and Clear Aligners

The Smile Specialist team focuses on teeth alignment using both modern and traditional methods. The clinic offers Invisalign and Smile Aligners as invisible alternatives to metal braces. Clear aligner therapy can achieve results in about six months – significantly faster than many traditional options. Before aligners are printed, patients receive a virtual treatment plan video showing the projected outcome.

For complex cases, the clinic provides multiple orthodontic options:

• Clear aligner therapy with phone-based progress tracking
• Lingual braces placed on the back of the teeth
• Ceramic braces for a less visible appearance
• Conventional metal braces for standard alignment

Aligner patients can check in from anywhere. Dentists track progress via digital phone scans.

Diagnostic Technology

Facets Dental uses a 20-minute Digital Dental Exam workflow across all its studios. Digital X-rays emit 80% less radiation than conventional equipment. This imaging allows the team to spot potential problems within seconds. The clinic also uses Digital Smile Design (DSD) to plan aesthetic outcomes with high precision.

Key diagnostic tools available at the clinic include:

• Cerec Omnicam for digital diagnostic models and scanning
• Florida Probe for periodontal assessments
• Software-based analysis for aligner planning
• High-speed digital imaging for preventive exams

These technologies support a preventive approach, catching dental issues before they need major treatment.

Services for International Patients

The clinic treats thousands of patients, including many traveling from abroad for smile transformations. Virtual treatment planning and online consultations help international patients prepare for their visit. The team provides assistance in English and Hindi. Patients can choose between the four Kochi studios based on their travel plans and convenience.
