Summary
Chennai Dental Mission is a two-dentist implant and laser dentistry practice in Anna Nagar, Chennai, run by prosthodontist-implantologist Dr. Praveen Perumal and periodontist-laser specialist Dr. Radha Vellayappan. The English-language website lists implant, aligner, prosthetic and laser treatments and offers a free consultation for implant patients. Appointments can be booked by phone, WhatsApp or online, and video consultations are offered.
Opening hours differ between the clinic's channels: its Google listing gives Monday to Saturday 10:00-20:30 and Sunday 10:30-17:00, an article on its website says 9:00-20:00 every day, and a homepage widget shows shorter slots (e.g. Mon-Thu 10:00-14:00). The site states registration with the Dental Council of India but publishes no registration numbers. The website links the clinic's Facebook page and its Instagram account (@chennaidentalmission). Its Practo profile lists an older address (166/2, 13th Main Road, Shakthi Colony, Anna Nagar) with the same two dentists. The booking widget on the website shows placeholder fees, which were not taken as the clinic's prices.
