I can definitely recommend her as a professional dentist, who took pride in her workKevin, Australia, 26 10 23(October 2023) - An amazing Dentist
I would just like to start by saying I am a very deep-thinking person, who did a lot a heap of research about all the things required, regarding where the best place was to get a good full smile makeover and any other dental work required for my wife (Sandra) would be. Having had dental work done in another couple of countries outside of our home country of West Australia in the past, (On a smaller scale than this.) When enquiring most just suggested getting dental veneers. (Which looked great, but I was not 100% sure about) which were reasonably expensive (But nothing like Australia's cost to have the work done).
Having done all this I came across Dr Anika Arora's site from Aesthetic Smiles (From Mumbai India). I must admit I was unsure at first about visiting India, but I can definitely assure you now that we have been, it was a very worthwhile trip. I made an enquiry on the net via her page, and within 20 minutes she had rung us, and I was talking to her about what my enquiry. (Once again thinking this is too good to be true).
Dr Arika asked for a panoramic scan of my wife's teeth, which we obtained and emailed over, and she sent us her recommendations and a quote to have the work done. (Which was very reasonable, cost wise) A big difference to having the work done in Australia, and a holiday at the same time.
Over the next few weeks, I had asked her a lot of questions and she continued to communicate with me and answered them all. (Probably far more than the normal person would) Anyway, without out going any further into this, I finally took the risk and made the appointment based on her recommendations, booked our flights, and committed ourselves to go to India, for a full smile makeover for my wife (Sandra).
Dr Ratika arranged and paid for all the airport transfers to and from the airport, all pickups from our accommodation to her clinic and return for every appointment. She suggested a good place to use for accommodation, and we enjoyed our stay there as well.
My wife had an overcrowded mouth and teeth out of line, so on our first visit she assessed all this and then she viewed all the images that were done using the latest 3D technology in her clinic and spoke with us about her proposed dental work, she would do, to give Sandra a good smile makeover. I have to say that I was very impressed about how she explained it all. She explained what she thought needed to be done, why it should be done this way and how she would go about it. She did not proceed with anything until we were sure we understood exactly what the expected outcomes should be.
Sandra is now a changed person, that is now confident to smile and show her teeth, and she can also chew and use all her teeth, which is something she has not been able to do for many years.
She had 19 zirconia crowns, 2 teeth extractions, and a root canal done on one of her major teeth. (No more unsightly amalgam type fillings can be seen) I had a root canal done, 2 dental crowns and a bridge to replace a missing molar I had.
All X-rays and scale and clean were included in the price. All of this work was done to a very high standard by Dr Arika, and I can definitely recommend her as a professional dentist, who took pride in her work. Her clinic was clean, dental tools were all sterilised and all her staff were very friendly and would assist us to the fullest. Besides the dental work Dr Arika went out of her way to assist us with any query we had, she would assist with money conversations we required also.
Thank you Dr Arika and all your staff and team of professionals, for undertaking the work you did, which I would also like to say cost us a less than what was quoted first up. If anyone would like to contact me and talk directly about our experience, please don't hesitate to get our details from Dr Arika.
