Kids dentistry

A gentle first visit — that they'll actually want to come back to.

We follow the "dental home" approach: bring children in from age 2 for a friendly meet-and-greet before any treatment is needed. No sedation. No forcing. Just patient explanation, colourful chairs, and rewards afterwards.

"My 4-year-old asked when we're going back to Dr. Karthik. That's a first."

Common questions

Everything patients usually ask.

Will the treatment be painful?

Modern dentistry rarely hurts. We use topical numbing before any injection, so even the anaesthesia is essentially painless. For most procedures — including root canal — you'll feel pressure, not pain.

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, cashless for Star Health, HDFC Ergo, ICICI Lombard, Bajaj Allianz, New India Assurance, and MediBuddy. Please share your policy details when you book so we can verify beforehand.

From what age can I bring my child?

From 2 years — even if there's no problem. The first visit is a friendly "hello" so your child associates the dentist with something positive before treatment is ever needed.

What are your timings? Do you take walk-ins?

Monday to Saturday 9 AM – 1 PM and 5 PM – 9 PM. Sundays by appointment. Walk-ins are welcome, but a call ahead ensures you're seen quickly.

Is parking available?

Yes — free parking behind Marina Arcade, entry from the side lane. The clinic is a 3-minute walk from Adyar Signal metro station.

Is teeth whitening safe?

Yes when done professionally. We use a peroxide gel with a protective barrier on the gums. You may notice mild sensitivity for 24 hours; there's no long-term damage.

How much do clear aligners cost?

Depends on complexity — typically ₹80,000 to ₹2,50,000 including scans, all trays, refinements, and retainers. We give a written estimate after the initial consultation. EMI available.

How many sittings for a root canal?

Single sitting for 80% of cases (60 minutes). Complex or infected teeth may need a follow-up visit. Same-day crown is available for back teeth.

Do you handle dental emergencies?

Yes — call us on +91 98407 12345 and we'll fit you in the same day. For after-hours emergencies, WhatsApp us and Dr. Arjun or Dr. Karthik will respond.

Which languages do the doctors speak?

Tamil, English, Hindi, and Malayalam.
