Dental Implants
Permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement placed with microscopic precision.
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, topped with a custom crown. Placed under microscopic guidance for accuracy, it fuses with bone over 3–6 months and looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth for decades.
Duration
Surgery 30–60 min; full process 3–6 months
Cost Range
₹25,000 – ₹45,000 per implant
Recovery
Soft-tissue healing takes 1–2 weeks, with most patients resuming normal activity within a couple of days. Complete bone integration takes 3–6 months before the final crown is placed. Stick to soft foods initially, follow oral hygiene instructions, and attend follow-up visits.
Understanding ImplantsTreatment
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. A small biocompatible titanium post acts as an artificial root, integrated directly into the jawbone through a process called osseointegration.
Dr. Prem Kumar uses CBCT 3D imaging and a surgical operating microscope to plan and place each implant with exceptional accuracy. This protects nearby nerves, sinuses, and adjacent teeth while ensuring ideal positioning for a natural-looking result.
Once the implant has fused with the bone, a custom-made crown is attached. The result is a stable, permanent tooth that restores your ability to chew, speak, and smile with complete confidence.
Why It's Important
- Prevents jawbone loss that follows tooth extraction
- Restores full chewing power and clear speech
- Protects adjacent teeth from shifting out of place
- Maintains facial structure and a youthful profile
- A long-term, often lifelong solution versus bridges or dentures
Key Benefits
Looks and feels like a natural tooth
Preserves surrounding healthy teeth (no grinding down neighbors)
Stops bone loss and preserves facial contours
High long-term success rate with microscopic placement
Stable and comfortable — no slipping like dentures
Can last a lifetime with proper care
Who Needs It
- One or more missing teeth
- A failed or failing tooth that cannot be saved
- A loose or uncomfortable denture
- Sufficient jawbone (or eligible for bone grafting)
- Good general and oral health for healing
- A desire for a permanent, fixed solution
Risks & Precautions
- Minor swelling and bruising for a few days after surgery
- Rare infection at the implant site
- Small risk of nerve irritation or sinus involvement
- Implant failure if osseointegration does not occur
- Requires adequate bone; grafting may be needed first

From Dr. Prem Kumar
An implant is the closest thing to getting your natural tooth back. Planning it under the microscope and with 3D imaging means I can place it exactly where it needs to be — safely and predictably — so it looks and functions beautifully for years.

Frequently Asked Questions
The implant surgery is done under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Post-surgical discomfort is usually mild and well-managed with medication, and most patients return to normal routines within a few days.
