A dental implant is a titanium device that is surgically placed in the jaw to replace a missing tooth or support artificial teeth. The titanium implant fuses with the jawbone through a natural process called osseointegration and acts as an artificial tooth root. Once healing is complete, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth.
Dental implants are widely used for replacing single teeth, multiple missing teeth, and complete tooth loss, offering long-term stability and improved chewing efficiency.
Esthetica Dermadent Dental Clinic provides affordable dental implants in Bangalore for patients with missing teeth. Our experienced dental implant specialists develop a personalized treatment plan by evaluating:
Our objective is to restore comfortable chewing, improve smile aesthetics, and enhance overall confidence while preserving long-term oral health.
When are the Dental implants recommended?
To help preserve the jawbone and reduce shifting of the adjacent teeth in the gap created after tooth loss.
Components of a Dental Implant:
1. Implant Body/Titanium Screw: This part of the implant act as a tooth root and placed surgically in the jaw bone which then integrates with the bone.
2. Abutment: This part is screwed into the titanium post (implant). The design of the abutment depends on the type of the restoration that will be placed above the implant. It helps in connecting the implant with the Restoration.
3. Dental Restoration: It could be a single tooth crown, bridge or implant supported denture. Regardless of the type of the restoration, only the tooth or the bridge or the denture is visible in the mouth.
Regardless of the type of the restoration, only the tooth or the bridge or the denture is visible in the mouth.
Dental Implants Based on Placement
Dental implants can be classified based on where they are placed in relation to the jawbone and the type of bone support available.
Endosteal implants are placed directly inside the jawbone. Such implants are safe and the titanium screw of the implant is placed inside jaw bone
Best suited for:
Patients with adequate jawbone volume and density to support an implant.
Periosteal implants are positioned above the jawbone but underneath the gum tissue. Such tooth implants are placed above the jaw bone and below the gum and is recommended in cases where the jaw bone is weak and is less defined.
Best suited for:
Selected patients with insufficient jawbone support who may not be suitable candidates for conventional implants.
Zygomatic implants are less commonly used and are anchored in the zygomatic (cheek) bone rather than the upper jawbone. Such tooth implants are less common and are used to correct defects in the upper jaw or to help restore the upper jaw that is edentulous or toothless.
Best suited for:
Selected patients with severe upper-jaw bone loss where conventional implants may not be suitable.
Transosteal implants are placed through the lower jawbone and are rarely used today. Such toot implants are recommended in the cases when there is severe bone resorption in the lower jaw. Hence, a plate is placed in the lower jaw with the help of the screws.
Best suited for:
Selected cases of severe lower-jaw bone resorption, based on specialist assessment.
Dental Implants Based on the Teeth They Replace
The type of implant-supported restoration depends on whether you need to replace one tooth, several missing teeth, or an entire dental arch.
Single-tooth implants are used to replace an individual missing tooth. An implant supports a customised dental crown, providing a functional and natural-looking replacement.
Best suited for:
Patients missing a single tooth.
Implant-supported bridges use dental implants to support a bridge that replaces multiple missing teeth in a row. This can provide a stable alternative to a traditional removable bridge or denture.
Best suited for:
Patients with multiple adjacent missing teeth.
All-on-4 implants are used to support a full-arch restoration using four strategically placed dental implants in one jaw. A fixed prosthetic arch is attached to the implants to restore the appearance and function of multiple missing teeth.
Best suited for:
Patients requiring full-arch tooth replacement with suitable bone and clinical conditions.
The 3-on-6 concept uses three dental bridges supported by six dental implants in one jaw. It can provide a fixed solution for patients requiring replacement of multiple or most teeth.
Best suited for:
Selected patients requiring extensive tooth replacement.
Immediate implants are placed soon after tooth extraction, sometimes during the same appointment, when the clinical conditions are suitable. This approach can help reduce the overall treatment timeline in selected cases.
Best suited for:
Patients who meet the clinical requirements for immediate implant placement after extraction.
Dental implants provide a stable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth while helping restore chewing function, appearance, and confidence.
Dental implants provide stable support for crowns, bridges, or full-arch restorations, helping restore comfortable biting and chewing.
Implant-supported teeth are designed to closely match your natural teeth, helping restore your smile, facial appearance, and confidence.
Dental implants stimulate the surrounding jawbone and can help reduce the bone loss that commonly occurs after tooth loss.
Dental implant treatment is completed in stages, with healing periods between procedures to allow the implant to integrate with the jawbone before the final crown is placed.
Local Anaesthesia & Dental Implant Placement
Dental implant surgery is performed under local anaesthesia to numb the target area and ensure the procedure is comfortable. The dental implant specialist surgically places the titanium implant into the jawbone by exposing the gum and preparing the underlying bone to create space for the implant.
In some cases, bone grafting may be required when the bone is not sufficiently dense or adequate for implant placement. After placing the implant, the operated area is closed with absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. If non-absorbable sutures are used, the patient is usually recalled after 7–10 days for suture removal.
Bone Integration & Dental Implant Healing
The dental implant requires time to integrate with the surrounding jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This typically takes a minimum of around 3 months, depending on individual healing and clinical conditions.
After the healing period, the patient is recalled to assess the implant’s integration with the bone. Once integration is complete, the second stage of implant treatment can be performed.
Healing Cap & Gum Preparation
During the second stage, the gum over the implant is exposed and a healing cap is placed. The healing cap helps protect the implant and guides the surrounding gum tissue while preventing tissue from growing over the implant.
Implant Impression & Crown Fabrication
After approximately 3–7 days, the patient is recalled for an impression or digital measurement of the implant. The impression is sent to the dental laboratory, where the permanent crown is typically fabricated within 3–4 days.
Final Crown Placement & Follow-Up
Once the crown is ready, the patient is called back to check its fit, appearance, and function. If the fit is satisfactory, the crown is secured to the dental implant using a torque wrench to ensure proper placement.
A follow-up appointment is then scheduled to assess the fit, comfort, and overall function of the implant-supported crown.
TREATMENT TIME, HEALING & COST
Dental implant treatment is completed in stages, with healing time required for the implant to integrate with the jawbone before the final crown is placed.
3–6 Months
The complete dental implant process, from implant placement to final crown fitting, typically takes around 3–6 months. Immediate implants may require less treatment time in suitable cases.
Around 3 Months
The dental implant generally requires a minimum of around 3 months to integrate with the surrounding jawbone. The exact healing period varies depending on the individual case and whether procedures such as bone grafting are required.
₹35,000–₹60,000*
The cost of a dental implant in Bangalore typically ranges from ₹35,000 to ₹60,000, depending on the implant brand and the number of implants required. The cost of the crown placed over the implant is separate.
