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 teeth cleaning
Even with careful brushing, plaque hardens into tartar in places a toothbrush can't reach — behind the lower front teeth and along the gumline. Tartar irritates the gums, causes bad breath and is the starting point for gum disease.
A professional clean removes it with a gentle ultrasonic scaler, then polishes away surface stains from tea, coffee and turmeric. You leave with smoother, brighter teeth and advice for keeping them that way.
This may be suitable if you have
- Gums that bleed when you brush
- Visible tartar or stains
- Bad breath
- More than six months since your last clean

Frequently asked questions
Does a professional clean hurt?
Most people find it comfortable. If your teeth or gums are sensitive, we can use numbing gel or a gentler setting.
Will cleaning make my teeth white?
It removes surface stains, which often makes teeth look noticeably brighter. For a lighter shade than your natural colour, you would need whitening.
Is it true that cleaning loosens teeth?
No. Tartar can hide gum disease that has already loosened teeth; removing it lets the gums heal and tighten.

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.
