A plan made for you

You leave with a written, prioritized treatment plan. Clear timelines, clear costs, clear next steps. We will tell you what is urgent, what can wait, and what is optional.

A trusted practice, reimagined

Built on three decades
of family dentistry.

Smiles by Dr. C is the next chapter of a dental practice that has cared for families in Vashi for over 30 years. We took over a clinic that already had decades of patient relationships, and rebuilt it with new equipment, modern protocols, and the same standard of care we delivered in the United States.

What stays the same: the warmth, the honesty, the long-term thinking. What changes: every other detail.
