The Basics
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once integrated with the bone through a process called osseointegration, it provides a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are permanent, fixed, and feel just like natural teeth. They do not slip, do not require adhesives, and do not affect adjacent teeth.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for tooth replacement because they preserve jawbone, maintain facial structure, and restore full chewing function.
Parts of a Dental Implant
Implant Fixture (Root)
A titanium screw surgically placed into the jawbone. It fuses with the bone over 2–6 months through osseointegration, forming a strong, permanent anchor.
Abutment (Connector)
A connector piece attached to the implant fixture after healing. It protrudes above the gum line and serves as the attachment point for the crown.
Crown (Prosthetic Tooth)
The visible part of the implant — a custom-made ceramic or zirconia crown that matches the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
Candidacy
Who Needs Dental Implants?
You may be a good candidate for dental implants if you have:
- One or more missing teeth due to decay, injury, or extraction
- A failing tooth that cannot be saved
- Ill-fitting or uncomfortable dentures
- A missing tooth affecting your smile or confidence
- Bone loss in the jaw from a missing tooth
- Difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth
- A desire for a permanent, low-maintenance tooth replacement
Solutions We Offer
Types of Dental Implants
Single Tooth Implant
Replaces one missing tooth with a single implant and crown. The most common type — preserves adjacent teeth and looks completely natural.
Multiple Tooth Implants
When several teeth are missing, multiple implants can support individual crowns or an implant-supported bridge — without grinding down healthy teeth.
Full Arch Implants (All-on-4 / All-on-6)
A complete set of upper or lower teeth supported by just 4 or 6 implants. Ideal for patients with most or all teeth missing — a fixed, permanent alternative to full dentures.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Removable dentures that snap onto implants for superior stability. Eliminates slipping and discomfort of conventional dentures while being more affordable than fixed implants.
Same-Day Implants (Immediate Loading)
In select cases, a temporary crown can be placed on the same day as implant surgery — so you leave the clinic with a tooth. Final crown is placed after osseointegration.
Zygomatic Implants
For patients with severe bone loss in the upper jaw who are not candidates for conventional implants. These longer implants anchor into the cheekbone (zygoma) instead.
Step by Step
The Implant Procedure
Consultation & Diagnosis
A thorough examination including digital X-rays and CBCT scan to assess bone volume, density, and anatomy. A personalised treatment plan is created.
Treatment Planning (3D Guided Surgery)
Using advanced software, we plan the exact position, angle, and depth of each implant digitally before surgery — ensuring precision and safety.
Implant Placement Surgery
Under local anaesthesia, the titanium implant is placed into the jawbone through a small incision. The procedure is virtually painless.
Healing & Osseointegration
Over 2–6 months, the implant fuses with the jawbone. A temporary crown may be placed during this period.
Abutment Placement
Once healed, a small connector (abutment) is attached to the implant to support the final crown.
Crown Placement
A custom-made, tooth-coloured ceramic or zirconia crown is fixed onto the abutment — completing your new tooth.
Our Technology
3D Guided Implant Surgery
At Dr. Reddy's Root Care, we use computer-guided implant surgery — a state-of-the-art technique where the entire implant placement is planned digitally using a 3D CBCT scan before the procedure begins.
A custom surgical guide (stent) is fabricated based on this digital plan. During surgery, the guide ensures the implant is placed at the exact pre-planned position, angle, and depth — eliminating guesswork and maximising safety.
Why Choose Implants
Benefits of Dental Implants
Look & Feel Natural
Custom-crafted crowns match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size. No one will know you have an implant.
Permanent Solution
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime — unlike bridges (10–15 years) or dentures that need frequent replacement.
Preserve Jawbone
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone begins to shrink. Implants stimulate the bone just like natural tooth roots, preventing bone loss.
No Impact on Adjacent Teeth
Unlike a bridge, implants do not require grinding down neighbouring healthy teeth. Each implant is independent.
Restore Full Chewing Function
Eat all your favourite foods without restriction. Implants provide the same biting force as natural teeth.
Easy Maintenance
Brush and floss normally — no special adhesives, soaking, or removal required. Maintain like your natural teeth.
Improved Speech
Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures can affect speech. Implants restore clear, confident speech.
Boost Confidence
A complete, natural-looking smile improves self-esteem and quality of life significantly.
Results
Life-Changing Results
Dental implants don't just replace teeth — they restore confidence, function, and quality of life. Our patients consistently report that implants are one of the best decisions they've ever made for their health and appearance.
Important Information
When Implants May Not Be Suitable
Most adults are good candidates for implants. However, certain conditions may require additional treatment before or instead of implants. A thorough evaluation at our clinic will determine the best option for you.
Insufficient bone volume
Bone grafting can often resolve this before implant placement.
Uncontrolled diabetes
Well-controlled diabetes is generally not a contraindication.
Active gum disease (periodontitis)
Gum treatment must be completed first.
Heavy smoking
Smoking significantly reduces implant success rates.
Certain medications (bisphosphonates)
Requires specialist evaluation and medical clearance.
Growing children & teenagers
Implants are placed only after jaw growth is complete (18+ years).
Post-Treatment
Implant Aftercare & Maintenance
Immediately After Surgery
- Avoid hard, hot, or spicy foods for 48–72 hours
- Apply ice packs to reduce swelling
- Take prescribed medications as directed
- Avoid smoking and alcohol for at least 2 weeks
- Rinse gently with warm salt water after 24 hours
- Avoid vigorous rinsing or spitting
Long-Term Care
- Brush twice daily with a soft-bristle toothbrush
- Floss daily using implant-specific floss or interdental brushes
- Use a water flosser for thorough cleaning around implants
- Visit the clinic every 6 months for professional cleaning
- Avoid biting on very hard objects (ice, hard candy)
- Wear a night guard if you grind your teeth
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the implant procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you will feel no pain during surgery. Mild soreness for 2–3 days after is normal and managed with prescribed pain relief.
How long does the entire implant process take?
From placement to final crown, the process typically takes 3–6 months to allow for osseointegration. In select cases, same-day implants with immediate loading are possible.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last 20–25 years or even a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear.
Are dental implants safe?
Yes. Dental implants have been used for over 40 years and have an excellent safety record. Titanium is biocompatible and rarely causes allergic reactions.
What is the cost of dental implants in Raipur?
The cost depends on the number of implants, type of crown, and whether bone grafting is needed. We offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options. Please contact us for a personalised quote.
Can I get implants if I have bone loss?
In many cases, yes. Bone grafting can rebuild lost bone before implant placement. Our 3D CBCT scan will determine if you are a candidate and what additional procedures may be needed.
