Why Dental Implant Surgery Is Needed
This surgery is recommended for patients missing one or more teeth due to extraction, trauma, congenital absence, or long-standing periodontal disease, particularly when they want a fixed, permanent restoration instead of a removable partial denture. It is also chosen to prevent the bone resorption that naturally follows tooth loss, preserving jaw structure and facial support.
Signs You May Need Dental Implant Surgery
Signs that a patient may need this procedure include a persistent gap after tooth loss, discomfort or embarrassment from a removable denture, difficulty biting or speaking clearly, and gradual bone loss visible on dental imaging. Recurrent irritation or sores from an ill-fitting bridge or denture is another common trigger for considering implants.
Types of Dental Implant Surgery
The two main approaches are single-stage implants, where the healing abutment is attached at the time of placement, and two-stage implants, which are covered by gum tissue and uncovered in a second minor procedure once healed. For patients needing multiple teeth replaced, techniques range from individual implant-supported crowns to implant-supported bridges and full-arch all-on-4 or all-on-6 restorations.

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.
