Porcelain Crown Calangute

After a struggling battle over 18 months with my teeth & Gums, I decided to do some research. We love India and had heard of many people having dental treatment, we also had a holiday booked. I private messaged GOA DENTAL STUDIO in May 2019 after seeing some great reviews and knowing it wasn’t far from the resort we were planning to visit. I explained my issues and what I would like and also my fears, ( my fear was unbelievable I just wanted a lovely smile but was so frightened it would look wrong and false). I asked what the time frame would be and also the costs involved. Dr Desai asked me to send pictures of my teeth and explained what it looked like I needed without actually seeing and also a time frame and cost (The work & cost was correct from the message consultation) Day 1 - Consultation with Dr Mahi Desai, we discussed how I would like them to look and the materials used and also the colour. We then took a taxi ride for a full mouth X-ray. Day 2 - 90-minute appointment prepping top teeth for veneers, plastic teeth fitted (they looked the same as my natural teeth) Day 3 - 90-minute appointment preparing bottom teeth for veneers, plastic teeth fitted. Day 4 - 60-minute appointment After 5 days my veneers were ready to be fitted, Dr Mahi first showed me what they would look like to see if all was ok and I was happy. Perfect! Day 5 - 50-minute appointment Implants fitted at the back ready for my back teeth and another holiday to the lovely Goa. Day 6 - 10-minute appointment to remove stitches and check all was ok. I couldn’t be happier but not going to lie, depending on your own sensitivity and how well you heal is personnel to yourself. So, remembering the feeling from one tooth out or treatment to one tooth, times that by the work that is being done in a short period of time. The care and attention received was brilliant from Dr Mahi Desai I can definitely recommend Dr Mahi Desai of Goa Dental Studio and thank you for your patience and my beautiful smile (no more bleeding gums or food being lodged).

Whitening and filling were done to my satisfaction. The clinic is clean and Dr Gautam is very professional. My whitening was done perfectly and the fillings were done with the utmost care. I would definitely recommend this to others.

I didn't like my smile and had always been self-conscious from a child, covering my mouth when I smiled. I'm 51 now and had the money to sort my teeth out. I went to Kenkre expecting to have porcelain veneers top and bottom, but because of my bite, Dr Shilpa said they wouldn't last, (my top teeth would end up taking the bottom veneers off and vice versa), although she did say she would do it. She recommended I had crowns top and bottom but my front two top teeth didn't have strong enough roots. In the end, it was decided, (with a consultant involved too), that I should have two implants and 4 crowns at the top and 6 veneers on the bottom. I had two visits before anything happened to agree on the treatment and have an X-ray for bone density. The first visit involved 1.5 hours for 4 root canals. The second visit was the two implants and grinding the bottom teeth ready for crowns and some temporary teeth fitted, (which looked great by the way). This visit lasted 5.5 hours but was necessary to fit in with my flights. Six days later I went to get my teeth fitted and the temporaries were taken off. This lasted about an hour and when the teeth were fitted it was amazing - I couldn't believe it. I'd got the teeth I should have had. Don't think twice - have the treatment! It's pain-free and Dr Shilpa spoke excellent English and communicated with me constantly. It was a third of the price in England. My teeth look very natural. It's a very professional practice that obviously is focussed on the customer from start to finish. I did a lot of research before I went and felt that Dr Shilpa at Kenkre Dental was the one dentist who seemed to understand exactly what I was looking for. I travelled 40 minutes there and back to see her, but it was well worth the journey as the prices were cheaper than those dentists in Candolim or Calangute. A week after the treatment there was swelling at the implant area but this is the natural healing process and it subsides after 2 weeks. It's about 1/4 of the price in England. I did my research in England and contacted various clinics around the Candolin/Calangute area but felt a connection with Dr Shilpa who understood what I wanted and sent me pictures and reviews from past patients. The clinic was hard to find, on the first floor of a block of units. I took a taxi and had to get the driver to call her to give directions. The taxi isn't expensive from Calangute, (£12 return approx), and the driver waited for me, (even on the 5.5 hour visit!). When I first met Dr Shilpa, (with my husband), I knew immediately that I'd made the right choice. She was so professional and the surgery was clean. She was obviously well educated in her field. There was no awkwardness with money as I paid at the end of the treatment. She didn't try to up-sell and even did a scale and polish on my husband - with no charge which is unusual in India when everyone appears to be wanting you to part with your cash! She even said that she'd prefer to split the treatment into two visits, ie a visit, say, 6 months later but I didn't want this so she said she'd do the 5.5 hours on the Saturday to accommodate. She still messages me now to ask how I'm getting on. Very caring and lovely lady who I have total trust and faith in that she will do an excellent job for you. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her practise and will definitely go again for any further treatment I may need. Thank you, Dr Shilpa, for making me smile!

Me & my wife visited the Clinic for RCT & other dental works just this week. The clinic is very clean & the doctors & staff are very polite & well trained. We feel that this is the best dental clinic. Would recommend Dr Hubert Gomes's Dental clinic.
