Frequently Asked Questions
What is the total cost of dental implant surgery?
Costs vary by number of implants and the crown material chosen, generally starting around Rs 25,000 to Rs 40,000 per implant in India; your surgeon will provide a personalised estimate after assessing your case.
Is IV sedation necessary?
Local anaesthesia is usually sufficient, but IV sedation is offered as an option for anxious patients or when multiple implants are being placed in one sitting.
How long does the whole process take from start to finish?
While placement itself takes 1 to 2 hours, the complete process including healing and osseointegration before the final crown is fitted typically spans 3 to 6 months.
What foods should I avoid after surgery?
Stick to a soft diet for about two weeks, avoiding hard, crunchy, or very hot foods that could disturb the surgical site while it heals.
Are dental implants a permanent solution?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, implants can last decades or even a lifetime, though the crown on top may eventually need replacement due to normal wear.
