Dental implants are a popular solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring a natural-looking smile. But what exactly are dental implants, and what types are available? Additionally, how much should you expect to invest in them? At Kansal Dental Care, we provide comprehensive dental implant services to help you make an informed decision.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The process involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which then integrates with the bone over time. Once healed, a crown is placed on top of the post to complete the restoration.
Endosteal implants are the most common type of dental implant. They are placed directly into the jawbone and typically used to replace single teeth or multiple teeth with bridges or dentures. They are made of titanium and are designed to integrate with the bone.
Subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum but on or above the jawbone. They are used for patients who do not have enough healthy jawbone for endosteal implants. These implants are less common and usually reserved for special cases.
Zygomatic implants are longer implants anchored into the cheekbone (zygomatic bone) rather than the jawbone. They are used for patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw who cannot receive traditional implants.
he cost of dental implants can vary widely based on several factors, including the type of implant, the number of implants needed, and additional procedures such as bone grafts. On average, a single dental implant can cost between ₹30,000 to ₹45,000 and more. However, this cost can increase if additional treatments are required or if the implant is part of a more complex restoration.
Dental implants offer a durable and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. If you’re considering implants, consult with Dr. Abhinav Kansal to explore your options and determine the best solution for your smile. Contact Kansal Dental Care today to schedule your consultation.
Dental implants are designed to last many years, often a lifetime, with proper care and maintenance.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel pain. You may experience some discomfort during recovery, which can be managed with pain relief medication.
Recovery time can vary, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within a few days. Full healing and integration of the implant with the bone can take several months.
