Dr. Manav Kalra

I highly recommend Dr. Manav Kalra. The entire experience was smooth, clean, quick, and completely painless. He is warm, reassuring, very skilled, and makes you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. It was one of the most stress-free dental visits I've had, and I am grateful for his care and professionalism.

The consultation with Dr. Manav Kalra went very well.

The short version for those who prefer it:

Dr Manav Kalra is personable, truly has the patient’s best interest in mind, and is extremely meticulous and careful in his work. A comment I didn’t think I would have thought to give before my treatment with him: he is also not quick to give extensive treatments, and recommended to me a simpler treatment than I thought I would have needed, or other doctors would have gladly given for financial gain. I strongly recommend him as a cosmetic dentist because he is not only professional and scientific in measurements etc, but also has style 👌

Now for those who would like details:

I came to Dr Kalra thinking that I needed braces. As an actress, I was looking to align my teeth for cosmetic reasons, and friends had recommended Invisalign. Upon my request Dr Kalra explained to me in detail how the process works and knowing of my limited time in Delhi, he was able to schedule a consultation at my convenience.

To my surprise and initial dismay, after looking at my teeth he did not recommend that I get braces. He suggested that a simpler alternative of aligning my two front teeth by shortening one of them slightly (and safely!), as well as a mild teeth whitening program would be sufficient in my case, and urged me to try it out before going into a longer, more troublesome, financially more demanding process of getting Invisalign for probably minimally different results. I was so set on getting braces for “perfect” teeth that I was not convinced, so, reasonably, he suggested I also get second opinions before deciding, but I was grateful that he put my individual need as a patient over his personal gain (getting braces would have definitely made his clinic more money). I decided to go with Dr Kalra’s suggestion, as he explained that i could still go for braces if I was not happy with these initial results. It made sense to me so I went for it.

He was meticulous in shortening ans shaping one of my front teeth, and allowed time for me to get used to a certain length and if not satisfied, to come back and get more trimmed, which I ended up doing. Because this is such a permanent procedure, I was quite nervous, but Dr Kalra gave me all the necessary details so I could make informed decisions for myself, and he gave guidance and space as needed, so I felt very comfortable throughout. He also went through the trouble to take a (very professional) picture of my teeth to satisfy my mother’s dispute of what she saw my teeth length to be, and assured her with more scientific measurements than us subjectively looking at it.

Lastly, when I got the whitening trays, he taught me how to take them off and do everything I was supposed to do at home myself, “teaching me how to fish, rather than just giving me fish”. I don’t know how the saying goes exactly. ** *** ***** ** ** ** ********* ******* the clinic is clean and tastefully designed, and you will enjoy (imagine enjoying a dentist experience!) your visit, while getting professional health care.
