How it works
Six steps from your first message to your follow-up at home, whatever the treatment. You know the plan and the cost range before you travel.
Step 1: Tell us what you need
A check-up while you are home on leave, a tooth that hurts, a new smile or missing teeth. Email any X-rays, scans or phone photos you have.
No scans yet? Photos are enough to start.
Step 2: Video consultation with Dr. Patil
On WhatsApp video, Zoom or Google Meet, at a time shown in your time zone and in IST.
Step 3: Your written plan and cost range
What we recommend, the options, what each includes, how many visits and days you need in Pune, and the cost range.
You decide at home, with the plan in front of you.
Step 4: We book around your dates
Tell us when you will be in India and we set your appointments at Wakad or Hinjewadi to fit.
Step 5: Treatment in Pune
At our main clinic in Wakad or our second clinic in Hinjewadi, with your plan agreed before you sit in the chair.
Step 6: Follow-up from home
Reviews by photo and video, and your records for your local dentist.
Treatments people often plan from abroad
Full-arch implants
Full-arch implants replace every tooth in a jaw with a bridge held by four to six implants. This page sets out the choices, how many implants, which materials, fixed or removable, and when the teeth go in.
- Several, over a few months
- Final bridge 3 to 6 months after the implants
Cost range on request
Full mouth rehabilitation
Full mouth rehabilitation rebuilds the teeth of both jaws together, usually with a mix of crowns, root canals, implants and bite correction, planned as one sequence so the bite works as a whole.
- Many, in planned stages
- Several months, depending on the plan
Cost range on request
Smile makeover
A smile makeover brings several treatments, such as whitening, aligners, veneers, crowns or implants, into one plan, in an order where each step sets up the next.
- Several, planned in stages
- A few weeks to several months, depending on the plan
Cost range on request
Ceramic veneers
A ceramic veneer is a thin shell of porcelain bonded to the front of a tooth to change its colour, shape or size. It usually needs a small amount of enamel removed, so it is a long-term decision.
- 2 or 3 visits, usually
Cost range on request
Clear aligners
Clear aligners are a series of thin, removable plastic trays, each shaped to move your teeth a little further. You change to the next set every week or two until the teeth reach their planned position.
- 6 to 18 months, worn 20 to 22 hours a day
Cost range on request
Single-visit root canal treatment
Root canal treatment removes the infected nerve inside a tooth, cleans and seals its canals, and lets you keep the tooth. When the tooth allows, it is done in one visit.
- 1 visit, when the tooth allows
- 45 to 75 minutes
Cost range on request
Crowns and bridges
A crown is a cap that covers and protects a weakened tooth. A bridge replaces one or two missing teeth by fixing a false tooth to the teeth on either side of the gap.
- 2 visits, usually
Cost range on request
Teeth whitening
Whitening lightens the natural colour of your teeth with a peroxide gel, either in the chair at the clinic or at home with trays made for your mouth. It does not change the colour of crowns, veneers or fillings.
- 1 visit in the clinic, or trays to use at home
- Lighter the same day in the clinic; over a few weeks at home
Cost range on request

Safety, and what happens after you leave
Planned before you travel
Your plan comes from your records and a video consultation. When treatment needs it, such as implants or a difficult extraction, a 3D CBCT scan is taken in-house through Shri CBCT Center, our sister concern.
Your records go home with you
You leave with copies of your scans and your treatment record, so a dentist near home can see exactly what was done.
Help after you fly
Reviews by photo and video on WhatsApp, and a plan for what to do if something does not feel right once you are home.
Questions from abroad
Not here? Ask us directly. We reply during clinic hours, till 9 pm.
Ask on WhatsAppHow many visits will I need?
It depends on the treatment. A check-up, whitening or a root canal often fits into one visit. Crowns, veneers and smile makeovers take a few visits over some days. Implants usually need a second trip a few months later, once they have bonded with the bone. Your written plan states it.
Can I come for a check-up while I am visiting family?
Yes. Tell us your dates on WhatsApp and we book a time at Wakad or Hinjewadi that fits. If you need treatment, you leave with a written plan.
Can I fly straight after treatment?
After most treatments, yes. After surgery, such as an extraction or an implant, we review you before you fly, usually a few days later. Your plan sets your dates around the treatment.
What if I need help once I am home?
Message us on WhatsApp with photos. We review them, tell you what to do, and if you need to see someone locally, we send your records to your dentist.
Which currency is the price in?
Plans are priced in Indian rupees, with the range for each part of your treatment written out.
Can a family member come with me?
Yes. India offers e-Medical Attendant visas for up to two people travelling with a patient on an e-Medical visa.
