Dental implants are durable, natural-looking replacements that securely restore missing teeth over time, improving function and oral health without removable dentures.
Missing teeth make chewing harder and can change how your face looks over time. A dental implant replaces the root of the missing tooth with a small titanium post, topped with a crown that looks and works like a natural tooth. At DRS Dental Hospital, implants are planned and placed by Dr. Vijayraj (BDS, MDS), who focuses on implants and full mouth rehabilitation, together with Dr. Sunnil Kumar Chilukuri (MDS, MOI), implant specialist.
Most adults with one or more missing teeth, loose dentures, or teeth that cannot be saved. We check your gums, bone and general health at the consultation, using an OPG X-ray and a digital scan, and explain whether implants suit you.
If the jawbone has thinned after tooth loss, we can rebuild it with bone grafting. For upper back teeth, a sinus lift creates room for the implant. Both are done here at the clinic.
Consultation, X-ray and digital scan, and a written treatment plan
Implant placement under local anaesthesia
Healing time while the implant bonds with the bone
A custom crown, bridge or denture fixed on the implant
Follow-up visits to check healing and bite
Mild swelling or discomfort for a few days is common and settles with the medicines we prescribe. Most people return to work the next day.
The cost depends on how many implants you need, your bone condition and the type of crown. We explain every option and its cost at your consultation, before any treatment starts.
Does it hurt?
The area is numbed, so you feel pressure, not pain, during placement.
How long does it take?
Usually a few months from placement to the final tooth, depending on healing and any grafting needed.
How long do implants last?
With good brushing and regular check-ups, implants can last many years.
I have diabetes. Can I get implants?
Many people with well-controlled diabetes can. We review your health history first.
Am I too old?
Age alone is not a barrier. Your general health and bone matter more.
