General Anaesthesia & Deep Sedation

Whether the clinic documents treatment under general anaesthesia or deep / twilight sedation — "sleep dentistry", where the patient is asleep and unaware (does not feel, see, or hear the procedure). Ordinary conscious sedation, where the patient stays awake and responsive, does not count here. This is informational and does not affect the transparency score.

• ✓ General anaesthesia / deep sedation (sleep dentistry) — General anaesthesia / deep sedation documented Selected treatments performed under general anaesthesia with a qualified anaesthesiologist, coordinated in accredited hospital settings when medically indicated. [s2]

Summary

Chitra Dental Clinic is a single-location family practice on Arya Gowda Road in West Mambalam, Chennai, led by periodontist Dr. Chitraa R. Chandran (MDS Periodontology, 1988, Tamil Nadu Government Dental College), with an associate dentist and named visiting specialists in orthodontics, prosthodontics, oral and maxillofacial surgery, endodontics and paediatric dentistry. The practice dates from 1984 and has been at the present address since 2000. The English-language website publishes the service list across nine dedicated treatment pages, the postal address, two landline numbers, an email address and opening hours (Monday to Saturday, mornings and evenings), and describes ground-floor access, three dental chairs, digital RVG and X-ray imaging, intraoral scanners, lasers and selected treatments under general anaesthesia with an anaesthesiologist. No prices or price ranges are published, and the site carries no structured data of any kind.

Listed on 2026-09-06 under the published inclusion rule after the clinic asked for a free visibility check through the audit page on this site (2026-09-01); researched to the same standard as every other card, and the listing has no effect on the score. The practice appears under several names across public sources: Chitra Dental Clinic (own site, Google, Mappls), Chitra’s Dental Clinic (own About page), Chitraa Dental Clinic (Practo), Dr Chitra Dental Clinic (India Dental World, Sulekha); the street is spelled both Arya Gowda Road and Arya Gowder Road on the clinic’s own pages. The street number differs by source: No 1, 33 (own site), 33/1 (Practo), 33 (Google, India Dental World, Lybrate), No 37-B (Mappls). Opening hours differ across six sources — own contact page Mon-Sat 09:00-13:00 and 17:00-21:00 with Sunday closed; Google Sun 10:00-12:30 and Mon-Sat 10:00-20:30; Practo Mon-Sat 10:00-12:00 and 17:00-20:30 with Sun 10:00-12:00; Lybrate 17:00-20:30 on Mon, Tue, Wed, Fri, Sat; India Dental World Mon-Sat 10:00-13:00 and 17:30-21:00 with Sunday closed; Mappls Mon-Sat 10:00-12:00 and 17:00-20:30 with Sun 10:00-24:00. The Google listing carries a second website link, chitradentalclinic.co.in, which does not resolve (NXDOMAIN across three independent DNS resolvers); the unclaimed Mappls listing gives that same dead domain as the only website, plus a phone (+91 44 4813 4925) that appears nowhere on the clinic’s site. Dentists are named with qualifications but without registration numbers; the national register of clinical establishments is blocked from this network and no Tamil Nadu State Dental Council register is mapped, so licences are recorded as unverified. Superlatives used on the clinic’s own site were not carried over.
