Global Reach
Designer Smiles sits in Vile Parle East, minutes from Mumbai International Airport, and has welcomed NRI and international patients from across continents for years.
Why India

Patients from the US, UK, and Gulf countries often choose India for dental treatment because the cost of equivalent, high-quality care is meaningfully lower than at home, often a fraction of what the same procedure would cost in London, New York, Dubai, or Doha, without compromising on technique, materials, or the dentist's training. For treatments like implants, full-mouth rehabilitation, or a complete smile makeover, that difference alone can offset the cost of the flight and stay several times over.
India also has English-speaking dental teams, modern equipment sourced from the same global manufacturers used in Europe and the US, and, in cities like Mumbai, dentists trained internationally in aesthetic and laser dentistry. Clinical protocols follow the same evidence-based standards patients are used to at home, from sterilization and infection control to imaging, materials, and lab work, so the experience feels far less foreign than most patients expect on their first visit.
Why Designer Smiles
Designer Smiles has treated patients in Vile Parle East since 1995, more than 30 years under Dr. Kavita Bhat Kumar, who trained in aesthetic dentistry in Germany and completed specialized laser dentistry training at the University of Bonn. The clinic is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and the full specialist team, orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, pedodontics, prosthodontics, means a complex case does not need to be split across multiple clinics during a single trip. Vile Parle East sits a short drive from Terminal 2, which matters when planning treatment around a tight travel window, less time in transit means more time for actual care.
Internationally recognized sterilization and infection-control standards, audited and maintained as a clinic-wide protocol.
Led by Dr. Kavita Bhat Kumar since 1995, German-trained in aesthetic dentistry with specialized laser training at the University of Bonn.
Orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, pedodontics, and prosthodontics under one roof, so a treatment plan does not get split across clinics.
Considered anaesthesia, calm pacing, and check-ins through every step, designed for patients who have not been to a dentist in years.
Relaxing music during the procedure, a warm towel and short massage afterward, sometimes ice cream on the way out, small touches that turn a dental visit into something closer to actual care.

Getting To Us
Designer Smiles is located in Vile Parle East, roughly 5 to 6 km from Terminal 2 (the international terminal) and closer still, around 1 to 2 km, from Terminal 1. By road, that is typically a 15 to 20 minute drive, traffic dependent, which is notably closer than most dental clinics elsewhere in Mumbai. The clinic is also a short walk from Vile Parle railway station, useful if you are staying anywhere along the Western Line.
