Why India

Why patients travel to India for dental care.

Why patients travel to India for dental care: high quality, lower cost dental treatment compared to the US, UK and Gulf countries

Patients from the US, UK, and Gulf countries often choose India for dental treatment because the cost of equivalent, high-quality care is meaningfully lower than at home, often a fraction of what the same procedure would cost in London, New York, Dubai, or Doha, without compromising on technique, materials, or the dentist's training. For treatments like implants, full-mouth rehabilitation, or a complete smile makeover, that difference alone can offset the cost of the flight and stay several times over.

India also has English-speaking dental teams, modern equipment sourced from the same global manufacturers used in Europe and the US, and, in cities like Mumbai, dentists trained internationally in aesthetic and laser dentistry. Clinical protocols follow the same evidence-based standards patients are used to at home, from sterilisation and infection control to digital imaging, materials, and lab work, so the experience feels far less foreign than most patients expect on their first visit.

Why Designer Smiles

World-class care near Mumbai's international airport.

Designer Smiles has treated patients in Vile Parle East since 1995, more than 30 years under Dr. Kavita Bhat Kumar, who trained in aesthetic dentistry in Germany and completed specialized laser dentistry training at the University of Bonn. The clinic is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and the full specialist team, orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, pedodontics, prosthodontics, means a complex case does not need to be split across multiple clinics during a single trip. For implant treatment, established systems including Nobel Biocare® and Straumann® are selected according to each patient’s clinical needs. Vile Parle East sits a short drive from Terminal 2, which matters when planning treatment around a tight travel window, less time in transit means more time for actual care.

ISO 9001:2015 certified sterilisation

Internationally recognised sterilisation and infection-control standards, audited and maintained as a clinic-wide protocol.

30+ years of clinical experience

Led by Dr. Kavita Bhat Kumar since 1995, German-trained in aesthetic dentistry with specialized laser training at the University of Bonn.

A multispeciality team in one place

Orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, pedodontics, and prosthodontics under one roof, so a treatment plan does not get split across clinics.

Painless, anxiety-free protocols

Considered anaesthesia, calm pacing, and check-ins through every step, designed for patients who have not been to a dentist in years.

The signature aftercare ritual

Relaxing music during the procedure, a warm towel and short massage afterward, a beverage of your choice, and ice cream after surgical procedures to keep the oral environment cool and aid recovery, small touches that turn a dental visit into something closer to actual care.

What Patients Travel For
