How much do dental cosmetic procedures cost?

Cosmetic procedures vary in that bleaching will cost Rs 6000 while composite or tooth colour fillings for the front teeth can cost upto Rs 2000.

Are dental cosmetic procedures safe and long lasting?

The procedures are safe and last quite a while. Bleach should last about 6 months but it also depends on your habits. Drinking large amounts of tea or coffee and eating paan or supari interfere with the bleaching and it doesn't last as long. The fillings last for many years.
 

How much prior to a wedding should a consultation take place?

Consultations should take place at least three weeks prior to the wedding. If you need ceramic caps, crowns or laminates for damaged, chipped or decayed teeth, we suggest you visit your dentist at least six weeks before your wedding.
