ABOUT US
Toothbuddies began as a small, single chair centre in December 2013 in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, We have 8 years of experience primarily catering to the oral health needs of children and adolescents with clefts of the lip and palate. As a fledgeling start-up, we struggled with finding empathetic personnel and providing excellent basic oral health services at grassroot levels. The team soon grew to include all oral health care specialists, molecular geneticists, co-ordinators and also allied specialists in speech-language therapy and counselling and is now an established private centre in Hyderabad providing comprehensive cleft care. Inpatient care is provided in partner hospitals.
The acute need for a larger space and more services prompted our move to a more spacious centre in Filmnagar, Hyderabad with interdisciplinary care available under one roof. We have highly experienced and dedicated specialists, state-of-the science facilities to treat infants, children and adolescents in all aspects of oral health. Having expanded the ambit of care to general dentistry and complex oral surgery, we specialise in providing services to those with medical conditions.
Our doctors have received advanced training in child psychology& counselling, craniofacial orthodontics, Invisalign orthodontics, Implant prosthetics, jaw surgeries and oral cancer rehabilitation. Our staff strongly believes in our values, “Patient comes first” and “no compromise with patient safety”. We ensure that our staff has development opportunities to enable them to provide safe, effective and high-quality care to our patients.
We have interprofessional collaborations with pediatric subspecialties, reconstructive surgery and ENT teams and also volunteer our time and expertise to provide oral health services for those with special healthcare needs. Emergencies can crop up when least expected and we do our best to prevent, and if inevitable, manage the crisis.
We remain committed to quality care and aim to surpass expectations!
