Had my wisdom tooth removed by Dr. Arvind. I was very nervous, but he explained every step and the whole thing was over in twenty minutes. The swelling was gone in two days. Very clean clinic and friendly staff.

About preventive dentistry
A proper check-up is more than a quick look. We examine every tooth and your gums, take low-dose digital X-rays when they are due, and clean away the tartar a brush can't reach.
Catching a small cavity now costs a filling. Finding it in two years' time costs a root canal — which is why we treat the six-monthly visit as the most valuable appointment we offer.
This may be suitable if you have
- You haven't seen a dentist in the last six months
- Your gums bleed when you brush or floss
- You have stains from tea, coffee or smoking
- Bad breath that brushing doesn't fix

Frequently asked questions
Does scaling damage enamel?
No. Ultrasonic scaling removes hardened tartar sitting on the tooth, not the enamel itself. Teeth can feel sensitive for a day or two as gums that were covered by tartar settle down.
How often should I come in?
Every six months for most people. If you have gum disease or a lot of dental work, we may suggest every three to four months.
Are dental X-rays safe?
Our digital sensors use a small fraction of the dose of old film X-rays, and we only take them when the result will change a decision.

What patients say about Origin Dental on Google
Got clear aligners here. They showed me a 3D preview before starting, and fourteen months later the result looks exactly like it. Reviews were always on time and nobody tried to upsell me anything.
Took my six-year-old daughter for her first dental visit. Dr. Meera Krishnan was so patient with her, let her sit in the chair and count her teeth first. She actually enjoyed it and wants to go back!
Full mouth rehabilitation with Dr. Meera Raghunathan. The full cost was given in writing before we started and there were no surprises. After years of trouble I can finally chew properly again. Thank you to the whole team.
Single-sitting root canal with Dr. Arjun. Honestly it felt like a filling. He showed me the X-ray before and after and explained why I needed a crown. Highly recommend.
Broke a front tooth on a Sunday morning. Called the helpline, they saw me within the hour and repaired it the same day. Could not tell which tooth it was afterwards.
Teeth whitening with Dr. Kavya before my wedding. Very natural result and no sensitivity at all. The staff are warm and the clinic is spotless.
Flew in from Dubai for two implants. They planned everything on WhatsApp from my X-rays, so I knew the cost and the dates before I landed. Excellent, careful work.
