Ten answers covering booking, fees and the treatments booked most often at the clinic. Anything else, call the clinic and ask.
The consultation fee is 500 rupees. That covers the examination, the diagnosis and a written treatment plan with the cost of each step, so you know the full figure before anything begins.
Walk in patients are seen when the chair is free, but calling 070038 44216 first is faster. Emergencies such as swelling, bleeding or a broken tooth are fitted in on the same day wherever possible.
The tooth is numbed with local anaesthetic before the treatment starts, so the appointment itself feels like a long filling. Mild soreness for a day or two afterwards is normal and settles with the medication prescribed.
It depends on the tooth and the crown material chosen. At Radiant 32, the exact cost is confirmed in writing after the X-ray and exam, so nothing is estimated over the phone.
Saving the natural tooth with root canal treatment is usually the better long-term choice. Extraction is quicker on the day, but the gap it leaves often needs a bridge or an implant later, which costs more than the root canal would have.
A well fitted crown or bridge typically lasts eight to fifteen years with regular brushing, flossing and check-ups, sometimes longer.
The tooth is prepared and an impression is taken at the first sitting, a temporary crown is placed. The permanent crown is cemented about a week later once the laboratory returns it.
It depends on how much tartar has built up. At Radiant 32, the exact cost is confirmed after the check, so nothing is estimated over the phone.
Most patients come from Bhowanipore, Kalighat, Elgin, Alipore and Ballygunge. The clinic sits on Suhasini Ganguly Sarani near Ramrikdas Haralalka Hospital, a short ride from Jatin Das Park metro station.
Yes. First check ups, fluoride application, sealants and milk tooth extractions are all done here. A first visit around the age of three keeps later treatment simpler and much less frightening.
Three reasons patients mention again and again in reviews and at the chair.
The same dentist, Dr Madhulika Purkait, plans and finishes every treatment, so nothing is repeated and nothing is missed between visits or handed to a locum.
Every treatment plan lists each step with its price before consent is taken, so the final bill matches the number quoted at the first visit.
Local anaesthetic is given time to work properly. Treatment pauses the moment you raise a hand, which is what nervous patients notice most and often mention in reviews.
A toothache rarely improves on its own. The treatment is almost always smaller when it is caught early. Call the clinic or leave your number and Radiant 32 will call you back with a slot that fits your week.
