Teeth Cleaning
A cleaning appointment needs to be on everyone’s calendar, once every six months. During this visit, your teeth are assessed and food debris and stains are removed. It’s also a great opportunity to catch issues like cavities or loose teeth very early, before they become a bigger issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everybody accumulates plaque on their teeth. Plaque is a sticky film that is composed of bacteria that is adhered to teeth. If teeth are not cleaned well, this plaque can cause inflammation that can lead to the gum pulling away from the tooth to form ‘pockets’ and subsequent gum disease.
Scaling is a painless procedure performed with a combination of ultrasonic and manual instruments to remove plaque and tartar without scratching or damaging delicate enamel. Scales and stains are removed, and the teeth polished with a flavoured paste to restore the tooth back to its original texture. At this time, the dental professional conducts a thorough examination of the teeth, the gums and the oral cavity for signs of potential problem or developing disease like early tooth decay or gum problems. Lasers, x-rays and disclosing solutions are also used depending on the clinical situation, to help detect cavities that may be present in between teeth or under the gums.
If you are frightened at the very thought of getting a teeth cleaning done, then be rest assured that a dental cleaning is not a painful procedure. There is absolutely no drilling or digging in the teeth. You will only feel little pressure and vibrations during the procedure. If you are having some discomfort due to the pressure and vibrations, please inform our team dentist and he/she will do what is required to make sure you are comfortable. In a few instances, a mild amount of sensitivity may be felt. Our team dentist will manage this by applying a topical anaesthetic gel so that you are comfortable throughout the treatment.
Teeth cleaning involves two steps:
- Scaling – Ultrasonic instruments are used to remove the plaque or tartar without disturbing or damaging the soft tissues. Mechanism of the process is, ultrasonic vibrations loosen and break down the plaque or tartar. Water is sprayed on the teeth continuously to wash away the debris.
- Polishing – Polishing helps remove stains and makes the surface smooth. We use special pastes and polishing brushes to polish the teeth on completion of debris removal

Dr. Vijailakshmi Acharya and Dr. Varun Acharya were professional and competent throughout my treatment. I’m happy with the aesthetics of the final outcome and trust that my new crowns will be durable. The support staff at the clinic were also professional and helpful. I’m glad I trusted Acharya Dental in Chennai for my invasive dental treatment, rather than in Dubai where I live.

that report with Acharya Dental. They wanted me to come for an initial consultation and that turned out to be a game changer. Dr. Acharya personally attended the review session and in that same session she ruled out the need for Crown installation!! Talking of honesty and integrity that has become scarce today, I was thoroughly impressed and I highly recommend this facility for quality, honesty, hygiene and the ease of appointment and the whole process 👍👍

When I explained that I was travelling from Theni, Dr. Priya kindly called me personally beforehand and asked me to send my photos in advance so they could understand my concerns and plan appropriately even before my visit. She listened carefully to my concerns, my time constraints, and my previous dental experiences. I had previously received opinions elsewhere recommending more extensive treatment, but when I came here, Dr. Priya and the team thoroughly assessed everything and then discussed my case with Dr. Varun Acharya.
After a careful and honest evaluation, they recommended a much more conservative and appropriate treatment plan instead of unnecessary extensive procedures. I truly appreciated how ethical and patient-focused this approach was.
I am a medical doctor working abroad, and I had only a week of leave remaining. When I explained this, Dr.Priya and team genuinely understood the urgency and went out of their way to accommodate me with utmost care.
They took multiple dental impressions, explained each step clearly, and the pricing was also very reasonable compared to many other dental hospitals I visited. Having consulted several dentists before, I can honestly say this is one place I would confidently return to …though my hometown is far away.
Dr. Varun Acharya personally reviewed the case, and they even involved the in-house lab team during the procedure to ensure the best possible aesthetic result. They carefully checked the teeth in natural lighting, took photographs for comparison, performed multiple scans, and paid close attention to every detail throughout the process. Even while placing the temporary restorations, they put in so much effort so I could visualise how the final result would look.
Dr. Varun Acharya is excellent. This was the most comfortable dental procedure I have ever had including treatments I’ve had in the UK. Nothing compares to the level of care here. I honestly don’t know how he managed to give local anaesthesia so painlessly. As a doctor myself, I know even local anaesthetic injections can cause some discomfort while injecting, but his technique was incredibly gentle and skilled.
I also met Dr. Damodaran and Dr. Keerthi, who were equally patient, kind, and explained everything in great detail.
What stood out the most was that everyone here is highly skilled yet so humble and down to earth.
Thanks to everyone involved in my care. Honestly, I feel so grateful, and they restored my confidence in my smile.
Thank you to the entire Acharya Dental team for making what had been a stressful dental journey feel safe, honest, and positive. Highly recommended.

A visit to the clinic is typically one of our routines, during our India trip. They retain the records of treatments over many years and can quickly suggest any treatment required, which is helpful.
The place is clean and the treatment is cost-effective. We are quite happy with our experience and will recommend this place, Dr. Mahesh in particular, for your dental care.

I went to him traumatized by my previous experiences with a prosthodontist from South Africa, who had brought so much damage to both my dental health and my mental wellbeing. I was also suffering from a serious TMJ disorder.
Dr Varun underwent a full mouth restoration in the most gentle and professional way. He repaired my occlusion and this improved my mental balance, so important after the traumatic experience mentioned above. He also did a tooth extraction and an implant, both in a very smooth and highly knowledgeable way.
Dr. Varun is the kind of doctor who puts the patient’s healing and mental wellbeing before the material gain. He also has quite high resources of patience, a very calm approach, and he allocates more than enough time with each patient. All this provides such a safe space for his patients, so important for dental work.
His practice- a state of the art practice. He makes sure that all procedures take place in an extremely clean environment, an aspect so important for India. The pricing is not as high as in other countries, that is why he has many foreign patients who come to India for the same high standard of service (or even higher) at a much lower pricing than in their home countries.
Last but not least, Dr. Varun Acharya completed his postgraduate studies at NYU in the US. One can recognize in him a deep interest in the latest research of his field of work and in staying up-to-date with latest dental methodology.
Today I look back to the year that is ending with gratitude towards the people who helped me have a better year than the previous one. And Dr. Varun is definitely high on that list. Thank you very much.

My name is Shahid Mohammed , iam 61 years old and my wife’s sister has recommended me to visit Acharya. Basically i am visiting India on vacation from Canada. Initially i had to put a cap which was broken and the doctors took my whole jaws x ray. Doctor Mahesh has done nicely the front tooth cap, and upon seeing my x ray he did recommend me a surgical extraction of my lower jaw tooth which was well performed by doctor seema. Though my cheek was swollen for 10 days and giving daily hot water fermentation and mouth wash plus medication has helped me. This was reduced after 15 days. I had root canal treatment and first time I had some pain and doctor sulochana said she would do i another sitting. Then she sent me down to surgical extraction and doctor seema done well with 2or 3 stitches. My point is anyone has to face with courage to our dental issues , and iam overall happy and very soon going to finish my treatment. Thank you all for your help including the front desk and god bless you.
