What we treat

What each one is for, what usually happens, what to expect afterwards and what decides the cost. Nothing is sold here; the doctor examines you and then explains the options.

Start with what's bothering you

Each line says what it usually is and which page to read.

  • My tooth hurts

    Pain with cold or sweet things, or an ache at night, often means decay has reached deep into the tooth or the nerve is inflamed. Read about fillings and root canal treatment, or what tooth pain usually means.

  • I've lost a tooth

    A gap lets the teeth beside it drift, and can make chewing harder on that side. Read about implants, bridges and dentures, or how the three compare.

  • A tooth is broken or worn down

    Old fillings, grinding and acidic food wear teeth down. A crack can let decay in. Read about crowns and fillings.

  • My gums bleed when I brush

    Usually a sign of inflamed gums (gingivitis), from plaque along the gum line. Read about gum care, or why gums bleed.

  • I'd like my teeth to look better

    Stains, chips, small gaps or uneven edges. Read about cosmetic dentistry.

  • It's time for a check-up

    Nothing hurts, or it has been a while. An examination and a clean. Read about check-ups and cleaning, or children's dentistry.

If you are in pain and cannot reach the clinic, or you have swelling that is spreading, a fever, or difficulty swallowing or breathing, go to a hospital emergency department straight away.

How fees are worked out

A fee is only worked out once the doctor has examined you. There are no prices on this site because the same treatment can be simple for one person and involved for another.

What the examination finds decides most of it: which tooth, how much of it is affected, whether a scan or X-ray is needed, and whether one appointment will do or more are likely. The material used and any laboratory work add to it. Each treatment page lists what decides its cost.

The doctor explains what was found and the options, and gives you the cost in writing before anything is done. Nothing is done without your consent. If you want to think about it, you can take the plan home.

The pre-consultation is ₹500. If you go ahead with treatment here, it is adjusted against it.

Ask the doctor which one you need

A short video or phone call. Tell them what is bothering you, show it on camera or send photos and old X-rays, and you will know whether you need to come in and what to bring.
