Dental Implants in Bengaluru
An implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone, with a crown on top. It is the closest thing to getting the tooth back, and it is the only option that does not ask anything of the neighbouring teeth.

Who it suits
You need enough bone to hold the post, healthy gums, and the patience for a process that runs over months rather than weeks. An X-ray at the consultation settles the first question quickly.
Uncontrolled diabetes and smoking both raise the failure rate substantially. We will say so plainly rather than take the case and hope.
What the process looks like
The post goes in under local anaesthetic in a single appointment. Then the bone grows onto it, which takes three to six months and cannot be hurried.
Once it has fused, the crown is made and fitted. You are not left with a gap in the meantime — a temporary replacement covers the wait.
Looking after it
Implants do not decay, but the gum and bone around them can become infected in much the same way gum disease attacks a natural tooth. Cleaning around an implant is not optional.
We will show you how, and check it at every routine visit afterwards.
Questions
About dental implants
Is the surgery painful?
The placement itself is done under local anaesthetic and most people find it easier than the extraction that preceded it. Expect two or three days of soreness afterwards.
Why does it take so long?
The bone has to physically grow onto the titanium surface, and that is a biological timetable, not a scheduling one. Loading an implant early is the fastest way to lose it.
How long do implants last?
Decades, when the gum around them is kept clean and the bite is right. The crown on top may need replacing sooner than the post underneath it.
