Making dental visits easy to keep
Treatments that need several visits are easier to finish when travel is straightforward. Kodambakkam is well connected to neighbouring areas such as T. Nagar, Vadapalani, Ashok Nagar and Nungambakkam, so many patients from the area choose a clinic a short journey away. Check the route and the likely travel time before you book, and ask whether appointments can be planned to reduce the number of trips.
