About the treatment

What is Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small, biocompatible titanium post that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Once integrated with your jawbone, a custom crown is placed on top — giving you a replacement tooth that looks, feels and functions like a natural one.

Step by step

The procedure

  1. 1

    Consultation & 3D scan

    CBCT imaging to evaluate bone, plan placement and rule out concerns.

  2. 2

    Implant placement

    Under local anaesthesia, the implant is gently placed into the jawbone — usually a 30–60 minute visit.

  3. 3

    Healing & integration

    Over 2–4 months, the implant fuses with your bone (osseointegration).

  4. 4

    Abutment & impression

    A small connector is placed and a digital impression is taken for your crown.

  5. 5

    Crown fitting

    Your custom crown is fitted, polished and matched to your natural teeth.

Recovery & aftercare

What to expect afterwards

  • Mild swelling and discomfort for 2–3 days — manageable with prescribed medication
  • Eat soft, cool foods for the first few days
  • Rinse gently with the saline mouthwash provided
  • Avoid smoking — it significantly slows healing
  • Maintain excellent oral hygiene around the implant site
Common questions

Dental Implants FAQs

Is implant surgery painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and most patients report it's more comfortable than they expected. Mild soreness afterwards settles quickly.

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last 20+ years — often a lifetime.

Am I a candidate for implants?

Most adults with good general and oral health are candidates. A 3D scan helps us confirm bone volume and the safest plan.

How much does a dental implant cost in Bengaluru?

Cost varies by implant system and whether bone grafting is needed. We provide a clear written estimate after your consultation.
