Quick answer
Orion Dental Clinic in Greater Kailash Enclave 1, Delhi is a dentist for Lajpat Nagar and Amar Colony, open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 am to 8:00 pm. Dr Anupam Sinha and Dr Natalia DeSilva plan whitening, bonding and veneers after an examination. The cosmetic literature is thin, and the page says so.
01 Overview
What can a dentist near Lajpat Nagar do for your smile?
The NHS says teeth whitening can help with staining from age, frequent coffee, tea or red wine, or smoking, that it lightens natural teeth only, and that with a dentist's advice it may last around three years.1 Bonding and veneers change shape, size and gaps rather than colour. In a review of 25 studies, 95.5% of porcelain veneers were still in place after ten years, and in a review of 1,821 front-tooth composite restorations, 24.1% had failed after three years or more.23
It is worth knowing what the research does not show. A scoping review of 57 papers on cosmetic dentistry found that most were opinion pieces, with only 11 cross-sectional studies, and it raised concerns about patients' expectations, marketing and harm from invasive procedures.4 A good plan therefore starts with a healthy mouth and realistic goals.
The clinic is in the basement of E 75, Greater Kailash Enclave 1, opposite Anubhav Play School, with the entrance at Gate 1. Lajpat Nagar is roughly 2.6 km to the north on Wikipedia's coordinates, in a straight line and not a road distance, and we have not measured the distance from Amar Colony.5 Our pages on teeth whitening, dental veneers and dental bonding explain each treatment.
Whitening changes colour, bonding and veneers change shape, and each has limits that the dentist should explain first.
02 Candidacy
Who should consider cosmetic treatment?
Most healthy adults can have some form of cosmetic treatment, but not all treatments suit all people.
Cosmetic treatment may suit you if
Wait or take extra care if
- You have untreated decay or gum disease, which comes first.1
- You are 17 or younger, or pregnant or breastfeeding, for whitening.1
- You expect a result that treatment cannot deliver, which the research flags as a concern.4
- Your visible teeth are crowns, dentures or implants, which whitening does not lighten.1
Health comes before appearance, and expectations are worth talking through.
03 Options
Which smile treatments are there near Lajpat Nagar?
Different goals call for different treatments, and many people need a combination.
Whitening for stained teeth
A gel lightens natural teeth, in the clinic in about 1 to 2 hours or with custom trays over 2 to 6 weeks, and the result may last about three years with advice.1
About 3 years 1
To plan several treatments together, see our page on a smile makeover.
| Whitening | Bonding | Veneers | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it changes | Colour of natural teeth 1 | Shape, size, small gaps | Colour, shape and size |
| What the research found | About 3 years with advice 1 | 24.1% failed after 3 years or more 3 | 95.5% at 10 years 2 |
| Main limit | Natural teeth only 1 | Chips and wears 3 | Fracture; some enamel removed 2 |
Whitening changes colour, and bonding and veneers change shape, so match the treatment to the goal.
04 Procedure
What happens at a cosmetic consultation, step by step?
Every plan is individual, so your steps may differ. This is the usual order. Nothing starts until you have agreed to the plan, and you can stop to ask questions at any point.
A cosmetic plan starts with health and a clear goal, and the treatment itself is the shortest part.
Booking the consultation
Call or message us on WhatsApp and say what you would like to change. There is no form to fill in.
Talking about your smile
The dentist asks what you would like to change and why, what you do not want to change, and about your health and earlier dental work.
Examining teeth and gums
The dentist checks for decay and gum disease, because whitening is for healthy teeth and gums, and takes photographs and X-rays where needed.1
Treating the mouth first
Any decay or gum disease is treated before cosmetic work starts.1
Planning the changes
You talk through whitening, bonding and veneers, what each can and cannot do, and in what order, with the research in view.234
The treatment itself
Whitening, bonding or veneers are carried out in one or more visits, with local anaesthetic where needed.
Review and upkeep
A review checks the result, and regular visits check for chips, wear and fractures.23
05 Aftercare
Looking after your smile after treatment
Your dentist will give you written instructions, and those come first.
After whitening
Teeth can be sensitive to cold or sweet food and drink, and gums can be sore, usually briefly.1
Avoiding stains
Coffee, tea, red wine and smoking stain teeth, so cutting down helps the result last.1
Bonding and veneers
Avoid biting hard objects such as nails, pens and ice, because resin can chip and veneers can fracture.23
Check-ups
Keep regular check-ups so that any chip, wear or loose veneer is found early.
When to call us
Call the clinic on 098115 01995 if a veneer or bonded edge breaks or comes off, if your gums stay sore, or if a tooth is painful. If you have swelling that spreads across your face or neck, or trouble breathing or swallowing, call 112 or go to a hospital emergency department.
A new smile needs gentle use and regular checks.
06 Limits and risks
What are the limits of cosmetic dentistry?
A cosmetic result is real but does not last forever, and the evidence base is thin. These are the limits:
- Whitening lightens natural teeth only, and the effect fades.
- Bonding and veneers chip, wear or fracture over time.
- No study has tested a smile makeover as a whole.
- Expectations built on marketing may not match what treatment can deliver.
- Treatment of decay and gum disease has to come first.
In these cases a smaller plan, treating the mouth first, or leaving things as they are may be better.
Risks and complications
Results fade or fail. Whitening may last about three years, 24.1% of front-tooth composite restorations had failed after three years or more, and fracture was the commonest veneer problem.123
The evidence is thin. A scoping review of 57 papers found most cosmetic dentistry literature was opinion, and raised concerns about expectations, marketing and harm from invasive procedures.4
Sensitivity and sore gums. Sensitivity to cold or sweet food and drink is a known side effect of whitening, and so are sore gums or throat.1
Veneers involve removing enamel. The preparation cannot be undone, so the decision deserves care.2
A good plan names these limits and keeps the work to what you need.
07 Your visit
What happens at your first appointment at Orion Dental Clinic?
At your first visit, a dentist at Orion Dental Clinic asks what you would like to change about your smile, and what you would not. You are asked about your health, medicines and allergies, and any earlier cosmetic work.
The dentist examines your teeth and gums, takes photographs and X-rays where needed, and talks through the choices, what each can and cannot do, how long it lasts and what upkeep it needs. You can take your time to decide.
The first visit is for a realistic plan, and nothing is changed until you agree.
