Most dental problems start quietly. A small cavity, early gum inflammation or a cracked filling rarely hurts at first, which is why a regular checkup is the simplest way to avoid a bigger treatment later. At Dr. Supriya's Holkar Dental Care in Kalamboli, a checkup is unhurried: Dr. Supriya Holkar examines your mouth, shows you what she sees on screen and tells you plainly what, if anything, needs treatment.
We see individuals, couples and whole families from Kalamboli, Panvel, New Panvel and across Navi Mumbai. Children are welcome too.
What happens at a dental checkup?
A checkup covers your teeth, gums, tongue, jaw joints and bite. Where it helps, we take digital X-rays or intraoral camera images so that decay between teeth, bone loss or hidden cracks can be seen and shown to you. We also look for early signs of problems that are easy to miss at home, such as worn enamel, receding gums and mouth lesions that need follow-up.
Who should book a checkup?
- Anyone who has not seen a dentist in the last six to twelve months
- People with sensitivity, bleeding gums, bad breath or a recurring toothache
- Parents who want a starting point for their children's teeth
- Anyone planning braces, aligners, implants or cosmetic work
- People with diabetes or other conditions that affect gum health

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have a dental checkup?
Most adults and children do well with a checkup every six months. If you have gum disease, a lot of dental work or a higher risk of cavities, Dr. Supriya may suggest more frequent visits and will tell you what suits your mouth.
Is a dental checkup painful?
No. A checkup is an examination and does not involve drilling. If you feel anxious, tell us at the start and we will go slowly.
Do I need an X-ray at every visit?
No. X-rays are taken only when they will help, for example to look between teeth or under old fillings. We explain why one is needed before taking it.
Can I bring my children on the same visit?
Yes. Families are welcome to book together. Mention how many people are coming when you call so that we can plan the time.
