Treatments and starting fees

These are starting fees for a straightforward case. After the examination you get the exact figure on paper, and it doesn’t change halfway through.

Usually with either dentist, and our hygienist

Check-up and cleaning

An examination of every tooth and your gums, X-rays only if they will change a decision, then a scale and polish. You leave with a written note of what we found, even if it just says “come back in six months”.

A calm treatment room at the clinic, with a dental chair, pale walls and soft light.
Room two. The screen is mounted above the chair, so you can see your X-rays without sitting up.

Your first visit

It takes about forty minutes, in three parts.

  1. We talk before we look

    Ten minutes sitting up, not lying back. Tell us what’s bothering you and what you’ve had done before. Bring old X-rays or reports if you have them.

  2. We examine your teeth and show you what we see

    A small intraoral camera puts each tooth on the screen in front of you. We take X-rays only where they would change the decision.

  3. You take home a written plan

    The options, the number of visits and the fees, on one page. Think it over at home. We don’t start treatment on the same day unless you’re in pain.

The first consultation is ₹800. If you go ahead with treatment, it comes off the bill.

The dentists

Aster is owned and run by its two dentists. Patients are shared between them by treatment, so you see the same dentist at every visit.

Dr. Meera Kulkarni

BDS, MDS (Orthodontics)

In clinic Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday

Aligners, braces, whitening and cosmetic work

Meera spent six years at an orthodontic practice in Bandra before opening Aster in 2016. She plans every aligner case herself, tooth by tooth, and will tell you plainly when trays can’t give the result you’re hoping for.

Dr. Arjun Shah

BDS, MDS (Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics)

In clinic Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday

Implants, root canals, crowns and bridges

Arjun has placed implants for twelve years and does most root canals under a microscope. He usually explains a treatment with a pen and a quick sketch, which you can take home.

Common questions

Most treatment is done under local anaesthetic, with a numbing gel first so the injection itself is barely felt. If you need a pause, raise your left hand and we stop.

After a root canal or an implant, expect two or three days of soreness that ordinary painkillers handle. We call you the next evening to check.

UPI, cards or cash, paid visit by visit rather than all at once. For treatment above ₹25,000 there is no-cost EMI over 3, 6 or 9 months on most credit cards, and a 6-month plan through a finance partner if you only have a debit card.

Most Indian health policies cover dental work only after an accident or during a hospital stay, so check yours first. We’re not a cashless provider, but we give you itemised bills, X-rays and a filled-in dentist’s section for any claim.

Call the clinic. We keep two slots open every day for swelling, a broken tooth or pain that won’t settle. Outside clinic hours, and on Sundays, the call goes to the dentist on duty until 10 pm.

If a tooth has been knocked out, hold it by the crown, keep it in a little milk and come straight in.

Something else? Call the front desk on 022 4970 2210. They can answer most questions and will pass the rest to the dentist.

Book a visit

Choose a day and whether mornings or evenings suit you. The front desk will call to fix an exact time, usually within two working hours.

If you are in pain now, please call instead of booking here. Two slots are kept open every day for emergencies.
