    Taking care of your teeth and gums is important to maintaining overall health. Regular dental checkups are necessary to ensure good oral hygiene and prevent dental problems. However, choosing a good dentist in India can be overwhelming, given the many options available.

    Credentials and Experience

    Before consulting a dentist in India, the first thing to consider is their credentials and experience. Check whether the dentist is registered with the Dental Council of India (DCI). You can also check their qualifications and experience by looking at their website or asking them directly. Provide the dentist has sufficient experience in the particular dental procedure you require.

    Reputation

    A dentist’s reputation is important to consider before booking an appointment. You can check online reviews and ratings on platforms like Google, Practo, or similar platforms. You can also ask for recommendations from friends, family, or colleagues who have visited the dentist. A good reputation indicates the quality of care and treatment the dentist provides.

    Hygiene and Cleanliness

    Hygiene and cleanliness are crucial in any medical setting, including dental clinics. Before booking an appointment, ensure the dental clinic follows strict hygiene and sterilization protocols. You can also check the clinic’s infrastructure and facilities to ensure they are up to the mark.

    Location and Availability

    Choose a dental clinic that is conveniently located near your home or workplace. This will save you time and effort in travelling. Also, check the clinic’s availability and timings. Choose a dentist who can accommodate your schedule and offers flexible timings.

    Services Offered

    Different dentists specialize in different areas of dentistry. Before choosing a dentist, confirm they offer the services you require. For example, if you need orthodontic treatment, look for a dentist specializing in orthodontics.

    Cost and Insurance

    Cost is an important factor to consider before consulting a dentist in India. Different dentists may charge different fees for the same procedure. Before choosing a dentist, make sure that their fees are within your budget. Also, check whether they accept your insurance plan or offer financing options.

    Communication Skills

    A good dentist should have excellent communication skills. They should be able to explain the dental procedure, its benefits and risks, and answer any questions you may have. They should also make you feel comfortable and at ease during the procedure.

    Technology and Equipment

    Dental technology has advanced significantly in recent years, and modern equipment can provide more accurate and efficient diagnosis and treatment. Before booking an appointment, check whether the dental clinic is equipped with modern technology and equipment. This can ensure better treatment outcomes and a more comfortable experience.

    Emergency Services

    Dental emergencies can occur at any time and can be very painful. Therefore, it is important to choose a dentist who offers emergency services. Before booking an appointment, check whether the dentist provides emergency dental care and has flexible timings to accommodate emergency cases.

    Patient Reviews and Testimonials

    In addition to online reviews and ratings, patient reviews and testimonials can provide valuable insights into a dentist’s quality of care and treatment. Check whether the dentist has a section on their website or social media platforms that feature patient reviews and testimonials. This can give you an idea of their patient’s experiences and satisfaction levels.

    When choosing a dentist in India, consider their credentials, reputation, hygiene and cleanliness, location and availability, services offered, cost and insurance, communication skills, technology and equipment, emergency services, and patient reviews and testimonials. By considering these factors, you can make an informed decision and receive the best possible dental care and treatment.

    Dr Ritika is Excellent at her job! We got dental care for my husband and she did a impressive job. We live in the US and found her contact information on Instagram. She took time and worked on every detailed aspect to give my husband the perfect set of teeth. I highly recommend her.

    I’m from Australia & had been considering a smile makeover with dental crowns for some time. In the lead up to finally making a decision, I had a tooth break at the gum line & considering that my remaining teeth were worn down due to grinding, had fillings or went missing over the years - I had to act. After researching quite a number of dentists, I chose Dr Ritika Arora’s Aesthetic Smiles Dental Clinic mainly due to the reviews that I read which included local and overseas based patients. I have just recently finished the first stages of my smile makeover which included crowns for my existing teeth, 2 extractions & a number of implants for missing teeth. So far so good & I must say that I have been impressed with the way Dr Ritika has carried out the work as well as the work carried out by her consulting specialist doctors. I will be returning in about 5 months time after the first stage of the implants have had time to fuse with the bone. On return, the implants will be finished off with the final crown work. If you are considering any major aesthetic and or dental implant work - I would highly recommend this clinic for the quality of the work & competitiveness of their pricing. Thank you Dr Ritika Arora & I look forward to seeing you in a few months for the final result.

    As someone who has struggled with juvenile periodontitis since the age of 16, I've worked with dentists around the world, and it was refreshing to find a dentist that I was able to work with directly from beginning to end. Dr. Arora was highly professional, thoughtful, and empathetic throughout the process. I had already started the process and had implants in place, and she helped me with six abutments and a total of 26 crowns. I reached out a few weeks before my trip, and she responded immediately. She took the time to talk through my history, and I could speak with her directly, not one of her assistants. She was very transparent and empathetic to my situation. She addressed my concerns about fees and followed through by not making it about money right when I showed up at her office. She paid attention to every detail and was thorough and getting the job done, and I would recommend her to anyone looking to get some solid work done, whether it be implants or cosmetic work.

    Visited for dental implants Was looking for a good dental clinic in mumbai , found Dr Ritika online and was quite impressed with her credentials and the reviews on google I was struggling with a old broken bridge with missing teeth . On Consultation with Dr Ritika suggested me immediate dental implants. I had 3 teeth extracted and 3 dental implants place on the same day . The procedure was painless though there was some nagging discomfort for a few days later which is quite normal when you have so much dental work done in one sitting After 4 months the dental implants were restored with 4 ceramic crowns. I happy to be back to enjoying my food. Modern clinic , very professional , affordable and the overall experience at Aesthetic smiles dental clinic is good especially for nervous patients like me who tend to neglect dental treatment Highly recommended
