Every year, thousands of American patients travel to India for dental implants, saving up to 70–80% compared to US costs. But beyond the treatment, many patients ask:

👉 “How do I plan my dental trip to India smoothly?”


At Advanced Dental Care Center, Chandigarh, led by Dr. Anshu Gupta (MDS PGI Chandigarh, Gold Medalist, with 25+ years of experience), we welcome patients from across the USA. This blog offers practical travel tips to make your journey safe, comfortable, and enjoyable.

• US citizens need an e-Visa to enter India (easy online process, usually granted within 3–5 days).

• Keep a valid passport with at least 6 months validity.

• Carry printed copies of your visa, return ticket, and clinic invitation (if needed).


3. Choosing Flights

• Fly into Indira Gandhi International Airport (Delhi), which has direct connections from major US cities (New York, Chicago, San Francisco).

• From Delhi, Chandigarh is just a 50-minute domestic flight or a 3–4 hour road trip by cab.

5. Treatment Timeline – Plan Your Stay


⏳ Typical Schedule for US Patients

• Healing Phase (3–6 months): Return to the US while implants integrate.

• Second Visit (5–7 days): Permanent prosthesis placement (zirconia/ceramic teeth).


👉 For same-day implants (immediate loading), patients may need 10–14 days in India.


6. Packing Tips for Dental Patients

• Carry medical records, prescriptions, and personal medications.

• Pack comfortable clothing suitable for India’s season (light cotton in summer, warm layers in winter).

• Bring international credit/debit cards and some Indian Rupees (INR).

• Travel with a small pillow/neck support for comfort after surgery.


7. Food & Diet During Recovery

• Stick to soft foods like soups, dal (lentils), yogurt, smoothies, and mashed potatoes during the first few days.

• Avoid very spicy, hard, or sticky foods until advised otherwise.

• Chandigarh offers safe, hygienic restaurants with both Indian and international cuisines.


8. Local Transport & Safety

• Use clinic-arranged pickups, Uber, or Ola cabs for local travel.

• The city is well-connected for short trips to Shimla, Amritsar (Golden Temple), and Delhi (Taj Mahal) for sightseeing.

Many US patients of Indian origin combine dental care with:

• Visiting family in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, or Haryana.
