Planning your visit to Pune

How long to plan for

• 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
