Root canal treatment in Thyme Dental
About the clinic
Root canal treatment at Thyme Dental in Gurgaon, India, provides a reliable solution for infected teeth. The procedure is led by Dr. Alka Yadav, who has over 20 years of experience in restorative dentistry. Patients benefit from a digital-first clinic that uses modern tools like the iTero scanner and high-standard sterilization protocols.
The Procedure and Methods
The treatment removes infected pulp to save the natural tooth. Most cases require only one or two visits, with each session lasting between 30 and 90 minutes. Dr. Alka Yadav offers a single-visit option for eligible patients, making the process faster and more convenient.
- Diagnosis: The team uses digital X-rays to map the tooth structure and infection.
- Cleaning: After local anesthesia, the doctor removes the pulp using specialized dental files.
- Sealing: The canals are filled with gutta-percha, a biocompatible material, and adhesive cement.
- Restoration: A temporary filling is placed before the final crown or permanent filling is ready.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients return to work or school the day after the procedure. You might feel mild soreness for a few days, which is normal. It is important to avoid chewing on the treated side until the permanent crown is in place. You should also stay away from hard or sticky foods during this time. With regular dental check-ups and good hygiene, the results can last a lifetime.
Restoration Options
After the root canal, the tooth needs a permanent seal to prevent future decay. Thyme Dental offers several options for crowns, including metal, ceramic, and zirconia. Zirconia is often chosen for its durability and natural appearance. The clinic focuses on long-lasting results using materials that work well with the body.

Clinic Achievements and Certifications
The clinic holds Invisalign Gold Provider status in the general practitioner category. It is the only practice in Gurgaon with this designation. A multi-tier sterilization protocol supports treatment safety, while 3D imaging eliminates guesswork in planning.
Dental Specialties and Digital Workflow
Dr. Alka Yadav leads the clinical team with 20 years of experience in restorative and cosmetic dentistry. The clinic starts every case with 3D digital scans instead of physical molds. Patients can view a digital preview of their final results before treatment begins.
Orthodontics and Clear Aligners
The clinic specializes in Invisalign therapy to straighten teeth without metal braces. Most cases finish within 6 to 18 months. Simple front tooth corrections may take only 4 to 6 months. One documented open bite case was corrected in exactly 6 months using controlled forces.
After active aligner therapy, the clinic follows a structured retention schedule:
- Full-time retainer wear for the first 6 months
- Nighttime-only wear for the following 6 months
- One night per week wear after the first year
This protocol helps keep the corrected bite stable long-term.
Smile Makeovers and Restorative Care
Single-visit root canal treatments are available for suitable cases. This therapy removes infected tissue to save the natural tooth. Patients can typically return to school or work the next day.
For aesthetic transformations, the clinic offers integrated smile makeover options:
- Align n Restore – combining Invisalign with E.max porcelain veneers
- Professional teeth whitening and gum contouring
- Tooth-colored composite bonding and fillings
- Dental implants using Straumann and Nobel Active systems
Digital Smile Design (DSD) software guides treatment planning to ensure facial harmony.
Pediatric Dentistry
The pediatric department treats children using a gentle-first approach. Specialists recommend the first dental visit by age one or when the first tooth appears. Care focuses on preventing cavities through professional fluoride gels and pit and fissure sealants.
Diagnostic and Treatment Technology
The clinic uses advanced diagnostic tools for precise treatment planning. The iTero Intraoral Scanner creates high-resolution 3D images. Panoramic X-ray systems and periapical imaging provide detailed bone and root assessments. A Class B Autoclave maintains strict aseptic standards for all procedures.
