2006

Beyond Smiles founded in Mumbai

Dr Hetal Turakhia founded Beyond Smiles in 2006 with a clear intention: to offer dentistry that is unhurried, well planned and honest about what each treatment can and cannot do.

Her postgraduate training is in Prosthodontics — the specialty concerned with restoring damaged teeth and replacing missing ones with crowns, bridges, dentures and implant-supported teeth. She completed it with a gold medal.

She went on to earn a Master’s in Laser Dentistry, bringing laser-assisted techniques into everyday care where they genuinely help, and a qualification in Hospital & Healthcare Management, which shapes how the practice is run — from sterilisation and records to the way appointments and treatment plans are organised.

Over two decades, the practice has cared for Mumbai families, international patients who plan treatment around a visit to India, and people who need complex, multi-stage rehabilitation. Today Dr Hetal leads a multi-specialty team at Cumballa Hill, in association with DreamDent Dental & Sleep Clinic.

Philosophy

Preserve what is natural.
Restore what is lost.

01

Preserve first

Natural teeth are worth keeping. Where a tooth can be saved predictably — with a filling, root canal treatment or gum care — that is the starting point.

02

Restore with a plan

When teeth are damaged or missing, restoration is planned for function, comfort and appearance together — not one tooth at a time in isolation.

03

Explain everything

Every option is explained with its benefits, limitations, cost and aftercare, so you can decide with confidence.
