Dr. Viraj Kakade

Implantologist | Prosthodontist | Cosmetic Dentist

Dr. Viraj Kakade isn’t just another name in cosmetic dentistry in Mumbai—he’s an artist, a perfectionist, and for over 15 years, the go-to choice for those who demand nothing less than flawless smiles. Revered for his mastery in cosmetic dentistry, prosthodontics, and implantology and as a trusted TMJ specialist, Dr. Viraj has crafted countless smiles that are not only aesthetically perfect but also uniquely attuned to each individual.

As a skilled implantologist and prosthodontist, he has extensive expertise in advanced implant dentistry — offering solutions ranging from single-tooth implants to full-arch rehabilitations and complex bone grafting procedures. His precision-driven approach ensures that every implant is placed with surgical accuracy and designed to restore not just the smile, but long-term function, health, and confidence.

In an industry that often prioritizes speed and volume, Dr. Viraj works differently. Each implant placement, tooth restoration, contour, and shade is meticulously planned and perfected to harmonize with the patient’s facial structure and personality. As one of Mumbai’s most celebrated cosmetic dentists and prosthodontists, he is known for his precision, dedication to symmetry, and uncanny ability to create smiles that look effortlessly natural — whether crafted through cosmetic enhancement or implant-supported restoration.
