Planning dental treatment in Mumbai from abroad

Two of his long-standing patients live outside India. Both describe the same arrangement — and it is the arrangement, not the price, that makes it work.

Treatment is sequenced before you land and completed inside the window you are in Mumbai, including the paperwork your insurer will ask for. The planning happens by call, email or video consultation before you travel.

The problem with treating dental work as a holiday add-on

India is one of the most preferred destinations for dental treatment, with quality care at accessible prices. That much is well advertised. What is advertised less is the thing that actually goes wrong: sequencing.

Most substantial dental work is not a single appointment. An implant fuses with bone over months. Full mouth rehabilitation involves several stages in a deliberate order. Book a two-week trip, start treatment on day nine, and you fly home mid-course.

What sequencing around a trip actually means

It means the plan is built backwards from your departure date. What must happen while you are here, what can wait until the next visit, what can be done remotely, and what would be a mistake to start at all if there is not enough time to finish it.

Since I don’t live in India, Dr. systematically plans what needs to be done when I am in Mumbai and ensures treatment is completed. He is proactive in providing all paperwork needed for insurance too.Nirav Shah — patient of 5 years
As someone who doesn’t live in India, Dr. Manthan is extremely supportive in managing my dental work when I am in Mumbai, in both a preventative and curative way. I also appreciate his system of giving appointments and ensuring he is able to see me at the scheduled time.Kanan Dubal — Google review

Both mention punctuality, which sounds like a small thing until you have four days in a city and half of one disappears in a waiting room.

How it works, step by step

1. Before you travel

Get in touch to discuss what you need — email, a direct call, or a virtual voice or video consultation. If you have X-rays or a previous treatment plan, send them. WhatsApp is the fastest route for images.

2. Planning

Once you are ready to proceed, the appointment schedule is finalised around the dates you are actually in Mumbai.

3. On arrival

A thorough clinical evaluation, then an in-depth consultation confirming the plan, with a clear understanding of the whole process and no hidden costs.

The short version
  • Plan before you fly — not after you land
  • Send X-rays in advance; WhatsApp is fastest
  • Insurance paperwork is prepared for you
  • Some treatments need two trips — better to know that in advance
  • What people travel for

    Mostly dental implants, full mouth rehabilitation and smile makeovers — the treatments where the cost difference is large enough to justify the trip and the work can be sequenced into one or two visits.

    Practical details

    The clinic is in Ghatkopar East, a short walk from Ghatkopar railway station and the metro, which puts both the domestic and international airports within a straightforward journey. Consultations run Monday to Saturday, 9:30 am to 9:00 pm. Explanations are available in English, Hindi, Gujarati and Marathi.

    Common questions

    Can dental treatment be completed in one trip?

    It depends on the treatment. The plan is built backwards from your departure date – what must happen while you are here, and what can wait for a second visit.

    Can I get a consultation before I travel?

    Yes – by email, direct call, or a virtual voice or video consultation. Send any X-rays or previous treatment plans in advance.

    Will you provide paperwork for my insurer?

    Yes. Documentation is prepared for your insurer – something his overseas patients mention by name in their reviews.
