About Imtiyaz
Dr. Imtiyaz is Crown Dental's specialist in paediatric dentistry — the doctor parents trust when their child needs dental care that is both clinically excellent and emotionally safe. With a full decade of experience treating children from infancy through adolescence, he has developed a reputation in Nellore for turning what most kids dread into an experience they genuinely don't mind repeating. His expertise goes far beyond filling cavities. Dr. Imtiyaz is trained in advanced behaviour management techniques that allow him to treat even the most anxious children without force, fear, or unnecessary sedation. For cases where sedation is genuinely needed — very young children or complex procedures — he offers safe, monitored nitrous oxide (laughing gas) protocols that keep the child comfortable and cooperative. He is also a specialist in preventive paediatric dentistry: fluoride programmes, pit-and-fissure sealants, diet counselling, and early interceptive care that prevents expensive orthodontic problems later. Parents consistently report that their children ask to come back — the highest compliment a paediatric dentist can receive.

Why Choose Dr. Imtiyaz?
10 years dedicated exclusively to children's dental care
Not a general dentist who also sees children. Dr. Imtiyaz's entire clinical practice is paediatric — he understands child behaviour, growth patterns, and age-specific dental needs at a specialist level.
Behaviour management without force or fear
Uses tell-show-do, positive reinforcement, and distraction techniques that make treatment possible without restraining or frightening the child. Sedation is used only when genuinely needed.
Prevention-first philosophy
Believes in stopping problems before they start. Sealants, fluoride, and diet guidance are core parts of every child's visit — not afterthoughts.
Safe, monitored sedation when needed
For very young children or complex treatments, nitrous oxide sedation is available with continuous monitoring — safe, reversible, and comfortable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions patients ask before consulting Dr. Imtiyaz.
When should I take my child for their first dental visit?
+
The ideal time is by their first birthday, or within 6 months of the first tooth appearing. This allows Dr. Imtiyaz to assess development, advise on feeding habits, and establish a baseline before any problems develop.
My child is terrified of dentists. Can you still treat them?
+
Absolutely. Dr. Imtiyaz specialises in treating anxious children. Through behaviour management techniques — and laughing gas sedation if needed — most fearful children complete their treatment comfortably and are willing to return.
Are root canals done on baby teeth? Isn't it better to just remove them?
+
Baby teeth hold space for permanent teeth. Removing them prematurely can cause crowding and orthodontic problems later. A paediatric root canal (pulpectomy) saves the tooth and maintains proper spacing until the permanent tooth is ready to erupt naturally.
