Quick answer
Travelling to Delhi for dental treatment at Orion Dental Clinic in Greater Kailash 1 means a travel health check and the timing of your flight home. Dr Anupam Sinha and Dr Natalia DeSilva advise on the dental side. The CDC advises seeing a travel clinic 4 to 6 weeks before you leave.
01 Overview
What do you need to plan to travel to Delhi for dental treatment in Greater Kailash 1?
Start with your health. The CDC's travellers' page for India sets the travel notice at level 1, usual precautions, and recommends hepatitis A vaccine for unvaccinated travellers aged one year or older and typhoid vaccine for most travellers, with hepatitis B for those under 60 and your routine vaccines up to date.1 For medical tourists it advises a travel medicine consultation 4 to 6 weeks before departure and bringing enough regular medicine for the whole trip.2
Then plan the flight home. After dental treatment the recommended minimum before flying is 24 hours after a filling, 24 to 48 hours after a simple extraction, 72 hours after root canal treatment, surgical extraction or an implant, and at least two weeks after a sinus lift.3 Our guide to how dental tourism works puts the trip in order.
Questions about entry and travel documents can be discussed with the team, so message us and we will talk them through.
A health check and flight timing are the two things to settle early, and the rest is ordinary travel planning.

04 Procedure
How do you plan a trip to Greater Kailash 1, Delhi, step by step?
Every trip is different, so your steps may differ. This is the usual order.
Most of the work is the six weeks before you leave and the day you fly home.
Settle your dates with the clinic
Tell us what treatment you need and how long you could stay, and we will say what fits, and what would need another visit.
Plan your travel
Book your flights around the treatment. Questions about entry and travel documents can be discussed with the team, so message us and we will talk them through.
See a travel clinic
Book a travel medicine consultation 4 to 6 weeks before departure, and check your routine vaccines and those the CDC recommends for India.12
Check your insurance
Review your insurance, and consider cover that includes medical evacuation, because standard policies may not cover planned treatment.2
Pack your records and medicines
Bring your X-rays, reports, a list of medicines and enough of your regular medicine for the whole trip.2
Arrive and have your treatment
The dentist examines you and confirms the plan, and carries out the treatment as agreed.
Time your flight home
Fly only when it is suitable after treatment, using the minimum intervals of 24 hours to two weeks, and take your records home.23
05 Aftercare
What should you do on the journey home?
Your dentist will give you written instructions, and those come first.
Fly when it is suitable
Wait at least the minimum interval for your procedure, and tell the dentist the flight time, because air travel can cause barotrauma and barodontalgia after dental work.3
On the plane
Surgery and air travel each raise the risk of blood clots, so walk, stay hydrated and ask your dentist about any precautions for your case.2
Your records
Carry your records and X-rays, and a note of your treatment, in English, to share with your own dentist.2
Your plan for problems
Know who to call, and agree this with the clinic and your home dentist before you leave.2
When to call us
Call the clinic on 098115 01995 if something worries you before you fly. If you have swelling that spreads across your face or neck, trouble breathing or swallowing, or a fever after you travel, call 112 or go to a hospital emergency department where you are.
Time the flight to the treatment, and carry your records home.
06 Limits and risks
What are the travel risks to plan for?
Most trips go smoothly, but these are the risks the agencies name:
- Flying too soon after dental treatment.
- Skipping vaccines or a travel health check.
- Dates that do not leave enough time for the treatment.
- Insurance that does not cover planned treatment or complications.
- No plan for follow-up once you are home.
In these cases it is better to delay the trip, or change the plan, than to travel unprepared.
Risks and complications
Barotrauma and tooth pain in flight. Air travel after dental treatment can cause barotrauma and barodontalgia, and the recommended minimum intervals come from limited research, mostly on military aircrew.3
Blood clots. The CDC says surgery and air travel each raise the risk of blood clots, and travel after surgery adds more risk from sitting for long periods.2
Travel-related infections. The CDC recommends hepatitis A and typhoid vaccines for most travellers to India, and notes that food and water standards vary by destination.1
Rules that change. Health notices and advice are updated, so a government page is a guide, not a promise.12
Most travel risks are reduced by planning ahead and by checking the official sources.
07 Your visit
What happens when you arrive at the clinic in Greater Kailash 1, Delhi?
On arrival you go straight to the examination. A dentist at Orion Dental Clinic asks about your health and medicines, checks your records and X-rays, and examines your teeth, gums and bite. It helps to book the first appointment for a day or two after you land, so that tiredness from the journey does not cloud your decisions.
You then agree what happens on which day of your stay, leaving enough time before your flight home. Nothing is done until you have agreed.
Book the first appointment soon after you land, not on the day you arrive.
