An Advanced Dental Clinic at Dr. Kotnis Memorial Railway Hospital in Solapur has served over 4,000 patients since its inauguration in 2024, an official statement said on Sunday.
The clinic, operating under the Solapur Division of Central Railway, has emerged as a centre of excellence in dental care, it said.
Since its inauguration on December 30, 2024, the clinic has delivered high-quality, patient-focused services to railway beneficiaries, officials said.
In just a short period, the clinic has consulted over 4,000 out-patient department (OPD) patients and carried out more than 1,000 dental procedures. The high standard of care is reflected in the fact that no patients have been referred to private dental clinics, indicating strong trust and satisfaction among beneficiaries, they said.
Comprehensive and specialised dental services
The Advanced Dental Clinic offers modern and specialised treatments, ensuring patients receive advanced dental care within the railway healthcare system itself. Key services include-
- Implantology: Dental implant placement and restoration for missing teeth.
- One-Visit Root Canal Treatment: Efficient treatment for quicker recovery.
- Wisdom Tooth Surgery: Expert surgical care for impacted or problematic wisdom teeth.
These services have enhanced the quality and range of dental care available to patients at the hospital.
Patients travel from across railway zones
The clinic has gained recognition beyond the Solapur region, with patients travelling from nearby areas across the Central Railway (CR) and South Western Railway (SWR) zones.
Beneficiaries from Maharashtra (including Pune, Latur, Dharashiv, Kurduvadi, Pandharpur, Miraj, Sangli, Kolhapur) and Karnataka (including Kalaburagi, Hubballi, Vijayapura, Bagalkot) have sought treatment at the facility.
Vital support in emergencies and outreach
The clinic has played a crucial role in emergency situations by providing prompt care to patients with facial and dental injuries. The dental team has also participated in dental camps at Kurduvadi Railway Hospital, helping raise oral health awareness and offering treatment to the community.
Professional leadership and support
The success of the clinic is credited to Dr. Taheer Attar, BDS, whose dedication and professionalism have been widely appreciated. He has provided high-quality dental care to thousands of patients and continues to serve the railway community with commitment.
The clinic has also received strong administrative support from the Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) of Solapur Division and the Chief Medical Superintendent (CMS) of the Divisional Railway Hospital, Solapur in Maharashtra.
