About the clinic

About Vivi's Dental Clinic

A neighbourhood dental clinic in Nanganallur where careful diagnosis, honest advice and genuine comfort come before everything else.

Vivi's Dental Clinic was founded with one straightforward idea: dental care in Nanganallur should feel calm, clear and completely trustworthy. Tucked into 45th Street at No.23, Vignesh Flats, our clinic serves families who have lived in the neighbourhood for decades as well as young professionals who have just moved in. Whether you arrive for a six-monthly cleaning or a complex implant case, you receive the same unhurried attention from Dr. P.U. Shalini and her team.

Our patient-first approach begins before any instrument is picked up. We ask what worries you, what you have experienced at other clinics, and what outcome matters most — a pain-free week, a brighter wedding smile, or a child who is not afraid of the dentist. Only then do we examine, diagnose and present options. Every plan comes with a written estimate, so you always know what a treatment involves and what it will cost before you agree to it.

The clinic is equipped with modern dental technology that makes treatment faster and more precise: digital radiography with dramatically reduced radiation, rotary endodontic systems for smoother root canals, ultrasonic scalers for comfortable cleaning, and high-quality ceramic and zirconia materials for restorations that blend with your natural teeth. Good equipment does not replace good hands — but in the right hands it makes dentistry gentler.

Hygiene is non-negotiable. Instruments are cleaned, pouched and autoclave sterilised for every single patient; needles, gloves, suction tips and barriers are single-use; and surgeries are disinfected between appointments. Patients often tell us the clinic simply feels clean — that reassurance is deliberate, and it is maintained by protocol rather than by chance.

Comfort shapes the smallest details too. Appointments are spaced so nobody is rushed through a chair. Anaesthesia is delivered slowly with topical numbing first. Longer procedures are broken into manageable sittings. Anxious patients are encouraged to raise a hand at any moment and we stop. It is a small courtesy that turns dread into confidence, and it is a large part of why patients recommend us to their neighbours.

Above all, people trust Dr. P.U. Shalini because she does not oversell. If a tooth can be watched rather than filled, she will say so. If a cheaper option will serve you just as well, she will tell you. That honesty — combined with steady clinical skill — is what earned Vivi's Dental Clinic a 5.0★ Google rating and a steady stream of referrals from across Nanganallur and nearby Chennai neighbourhoods.

Your dentist

Meet Dr. P.U. Shalini

A gentle, detail-driven dentist in Nanganallur who treats every patient the way she would treat her own family.

Dr. P.U. Shalini, lead dentist at Vivi's Dental Clinic in Nanganallur, Chennai

Dr. P.U. Shalini leads Vivi's Dental Clinic with years of clinical experience across general, restorative, cosmetic and pediatric dentistry. Her patients describe her as thorough, softly spoken and unusually patient — someone who explains an X-ray in plain language rather than jargon, and who never begins a procedure until you feel ready.

Her treatment philosophy is conservative and preventive: save natural tooth structure wherever possible, intervene early, and educate the patient so the same problem does not return. That means she will spend ten minutes teaching a better brushing technique rather than scheduling a filling you may not need.

Areas of expertise: single-visit root canal treatment, tooth-coloured restorations, crowns and bridges, dental implants, gum therapy, smile design with veneers and whitening, braces and clear aligners, child dentistry, and emergency dental care.

Dentistry evolves quickly, and Dr. P.U. Shalini invests in continuing education — attending clinical courses, hands-on workshops and dental conferences so her patients in Nanganallur benefit from current materials, techniques and evidence-based protocols rather than outdated habits.

Above all, she believes that the best dentist is the one you are not afraid to visit. That belief guides every appointment at the clinic.

Dental Check-up

A thorough dental check-up in Nanganallur is the simplest way to protect your smile. Dr. P.U. Shalini examines your teeth, gums, bite and soft tissues, and uses digital X-rays only when needed to spot decay hiding between teeth.

Benefits
Catches cavities, gum inflammation and bite problems early, when treatment is quick, comfortable and affordable.
Procedure
Medical history review, visual and tactile examination, digital imaging if required, followed by a written treatment plan with clear costs.
Ideal candidates
Everyone — especially families, working professionals and senior citizens who have not seen a dentist in the past year.
Book Dental Check-up

Teeth Cleaning & Scaling

Professional teeth cleaning in Nanganallur removes hardened tartar and stains that brushing at home simply cannot reach, leaving gums firmer and breath fresher.

Benefits
Prevents bleeding gums, bad breath and bone loss, and brightens teeth by removing tea, coffee and tobacco stains.
Procedure
Ultrasonic scaling of plaque and calculus above and below the gum line, followed by polishing and fluoride application. Usually done in a single 30–45 minute visit.
Ideal candidates
Patients with bleeding or swollen gums, visible tartar, persistent bad breath, or anyone due for their six-monthly clean.
Book Teeth Cleaning & Scaling

Root Canal Treatment

Modern root canal treatment in Nanganallur saves a badly decayed or infected tooth instead of removing it — and with today's anaesthetics and rotary instruments it feels much like getting a filling.

Benefits
Ends throbbing tooth pain, clears infection, and preserves your natural tooth so chewing and appearance stay intact.
Procedure
Painless local anaesthesia, removal of infected pulp, shaping and disinfection of canals, sealing, then a protective crown. Most cases finish in one or two sittings.
Ideal candidates
Anyone with lingering sensitivity to hot food, night-time tooth pain, swelling, or a darkened tooth after injury.
Book Root Canal Treatment

Tooth Extraction

When a tooth cannot be saved, gentle tooth extraction in Nanganallur is carried out with careful anaesthesia and minimal-trauma technique, including surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth.

Benefits
Removes the source of infection or crowding quickly, protects neighbouring teeth, and allows faster, calmer healing.
Procedure
Assessment and X-ray, profound numbing, atraumatic removal, socket care instructions and a follow-up review.
Ideal candidates
Patients with severely decayed, fractured, loose or impacted teeth, or those preparing for orthodontic treatment.
Book Tooth Extraction

Stops decay spreading, restores chewing strength, and preserves the natural shade of your smile without metal.
Procedure
Decay removal, layered bonding of composite resin, shaping and light-curing, then bite adjustment and polishing — all in one visit.

Local advantage

Benefits of Choosing a Local Dentist in Nanganallur

Choosing a dental clinic close to home changes how consistently you look after your teeth. When your dentist is ten minutes away on 45th Street rather than an hour across Chennai traffic, a six-monthly cleaning stops being a chore you postpone. Convenience is the single biggest predictor of whether preventive dental visits actually happen — and prevention is what keeps treatment small, comfortable and affordable.

Emergency support is the second reason. Dental emergencies rarely give notice: a molar cracks on a Sunday breakfast, a child falls and chips a front tooth, or a temporary crown comes loose the night before travel. A local dentist in Nanganallur can triage you over the phone and often see you the same day. That speed frequently decides whether a tooth is saved or lost — a knocked-out tooth, for instance, has the best prognosis when it is re-implanted within the hour.

Personalized care deepens when the same dentist sees you year after year. Dr. P.U. Shalini remembers which side you clench on, that you are nervous about injections, and how your gums responded to the last deep cleaning. Your records, radiographs and photographs build a picture over time, so subtle changes get noticed early instead of being discovered as an emergency.

Better follow-up naturally follows. Implants, orthodontics, gum therapy and full-mouth rehabilitation all depend on review appointments spread over months. When the clinic is nearby, a five-minute bite adjustment or suture removal is easy to attend rather than something you skip. Outcomes measurably improve when patients keep their follow-up schedule.

Community trust completes the picture. A neighbourhood clinic lives on its reputation. Our patients are also our neighbours — they meet us at the market, the temple and the school gate. That accountability keeps our advice honest and our pricing fair, and it is why so many families in Nanganallur, Adambakkam and Pazhavanthangal have made Vivi's Dental Clinic their long-term dental home.

Patient Reviews

Rated 5.0★ by 15 patients on Google. Here is what people in Nanganallur say about their treatment.

I put off my root canal for months out of fear. Dr. Shalini explained every step and I honestly felt nothing. Finished in two sittings and the crown looks completely natural.
Ramya S.Root Canal Treatment
Lost a molar years ago and finally got an implant here. The planning was thorough, the surgery was calm, and I can chew properly again. Worth every rupee.
Karthik V.Dental Implants
My gums used to bleed every morning. After scaling and the home-care routine they suggested, that has completely stopped. Clean, hygienic clinic and zero waiting.
Lakshmi NarayananTeeth Cleaning & Scaling
My six-year-old actually asks when we are going back to the dentist. They were so patient with him during his fillings — that alone makes this the best dental clinic in Nanganallur for families.
Divya R.Pediatric Dentistry
Called on a Sunday morning with terrible pain and swelling. Got seen the same day and had relief within an hour. Genuinely grateful.
Mohammed AshiqEmergency Dental Care
We both had whitening and veneers before our wedding. Natural result, nothing overdone, and the photos speak for themselves. Highly recommend Dr. Shalini.
