Booking and your visit
How do I book an appointment?
Message us on WhatsApp at 82828 24120, call +91 82828 24120 or +91 82828 24122, or use the form on the contact page. We confirm the same day during clinic hours.
What are your opening hours?
Monday to Saturday, 10am to 8pm, with no lunch break. The clinic is closed on Sundays.
How long is the first consultation?
About 45 minutes. Dr. Vaishnavi examines your teeth and gums, takes digital X-rays if needed and explains what she finds in plain words.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Any previous X-rays or dental reports and a list of your medicines. Tell us about anxiety, allergies, diabetes, heart conditions, pregnancy or blood thinners, because it changes how we plan.
Will I see the same doctor every time?
Yes. Dr. Vaishnavi plans and carries out your treatment and sees you at every follow-up.
Where is the clinic?
No. 7/8, 1st Main Road, Seethammal Colony, Alwarpet, Chennai 600018, a few minutes from TTK Road and Cathedral Road.
Comfort and safety
Will my treatment hurt?
Not usually. The area is numbed before treatment, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Sedation is available for very anxious patients.
How do you keep instruments clean?
Instruments are cleaned and sterilised for every patient, and the clinic follows strict hygiene and sterilisation routines.
How long does recovery take after treatment?
Most patients recover from routine dental treatment within a few days. Following the aftercare advice we give you speeds healing and reduces discomfort.
What should I do in a dental emergency?
Call or WhatsApp us straight away. Emergencies are seen the same day during clinic hours. For swelling that affects breathing or swallowing, go to the nearest hospital emergency department.
Costs
Why are there no prices on the website?
The cost depends on what your teeth need, the materials chosen and how many visits it takes. You get a written plan and cost after your consultation, before anything starts.
Do regular check-ups save money?
Yes. Six-monthly check-ups catch cavities and gum disease early, before they need longer and costlier treatment.
Treatments
What are the options for replacing a missing tooth?
A dental implant, a bridge or a denture. We help you choose based on your bone, gums, budget and how you want it to look and feel.
How are sensitive teeth treated?
It depends on the cause. Dr. Vaishnavi may suggest a desensitising toothpaste, fluoride treatment, or a filling or restoration after checking the tooth.
How do I know if cosmetic dentistry is for me?
It may help if you are unhappy with crooked, crowded, stained, chipped or gappy teeth. A consultation with a digital preview shows what is possible.
How do you help anxious children?
With a kind, unhurried approach, simple explanations and praise, so the visit feels safe and familiar.
How should I clean dentures?
Rinse them after every meal, brush them daily with a soft brush, and soak them in a denture solution overnight.
How often can I whiten my teeth?
Professional whitening is generally safe once or twice a year. Dr. Vaishnavi advises based on your enamel and habits.
