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 oral cancer screening
Mouth cancer is one of the most common cancers in India, largely because of tobacco, gutka, paan and betel nut. Caught early, it is very often curable; found late, treatment is far harder.
Screening is a simple, painless examination of your lips, cheeks, tongue, gums, palate and neck. If anything looks unusual, we photograph it, review it in two weeks, and arrange a biopsy or specialist referral if it hasn't healed.
This may be suitable if you have
- You smoke or chew tobacco, gutka or paan
- You drink alcohol regularly
- A mouth ulcer that hasn't healed in two weeks
- A white or red patch, or a lump in the mouth

How treatment works
Look
Lips, cheeks, gums, tongue and palate are examined under a good light.
Feel
We gently check the floor of the mouth, the jaw and the neck for lumps.
Explain
You hear the result straight away, and what happens next if anything needs watching.
Frequently asked questions
Does screening hurt?
No. It is a simple look-and-feel examination that takes about five minutes.
What warning signs should I look out for?
An ulcer that doesn't heal within two weeks, a white or red patch, a lump, numbness, or difficulty swallowing. See a dentist if you notice any of these.
I don't smoke — do I still need screening?
Yes. Most cases are linked to tobacco and alcohol, but mouth cancer can occur in anyone, so we check every patient.

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.
