What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that a dentist surgically places into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it integrates with the bone, a crown, bridge or denture is fixed on top. That restores the appearance, bite and function of natural teeth.

At Prudent Dental Clinic in Viman Nagar, implant treatment is led by Dr. Puja Bansal (BDS), an implantologist with 27 years of experience, working with our consultant periodontist and implantologist Dr. Sumanth S. (MDS in Periodontology and Oral Implantology, 25 years of experience). Every case begins with a consultation and X-ray, so treatment is planned around your needs.

Step by step

What does getting a dental implant involve?

Consultation & X-ray

We examine your mouth and take X-rays to assess the bone, gums and spacing available for an implant.

Implant placement

Under local anaesthesia, the titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone.

Healing (osseointegration)

The implant integrates with the bone over a healing period, often around 3–6 months.

Crown fitting

A custom-made tooth is securely attached to the implant, matching your natural teeth.

You will receive full aftercare instructions when treatment is complete. Good oral hygiene and regular check-ups help your implant last.

Implants vs bridges vs dentures

Option	Fixed or removable	Affects nearby teeth?	Good for
Dental implant	Fixed	No, it stands on its own	One or more missing teeth; a long-lasting, fixed solution
Bridge	Fixed	Yes, neighbouring teeth are shaped to support it	A gap with healthy teeth on either side
Denture	Removable	No	Several or all missing teeth; a non-surgical option

The right choice depends on your teeth, bone and preferences. Dr. Bansal will recommend what suits you at your consultation.

Reasons to consider dental implants

Replace one or more missing teeth without affecting adjacent teeth
Restore comfortable chewing and clearer speech
Prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting into the gap
Restore a confident, natural-looking smile
Secure a loose bridge or denture

What about cost?

There is no single price for dental implants because every case is different. The total depends on how many implants you need, the type of crown, and whether any extra step (such as bone grafting) is required. After your consultation and X-ray, we give you a clear, written quote so you know exactly what to expect.

FAQ

Dental implant FAQs

Are dental implants painful?

The implant is placed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Most people have only mild discomfort or swelling for a few days afterwards, which is usually managed with ordinary pain relief.

How long does dental implant treatment take?

Implant treatment usually spans a few months. After the post is placed, it needs time to integrate with the jawbone, often around 3–6 months, before the final crown is fitted. Your exact timeline depends on your healing and bone quality.

Am I suitable for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone and healthy gums are suitable. A consultation and X-ray at the clinic let Dr. Bansal assess your bone, gums and spacing and confirm whether implants are right for you.

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last many years. The crown attached to the implant may need maintenance or replacement over time due to normal wear.

How much do dental implants cost in Pune?

The cost depends on the number of implants, the type of crown and whether any additional procedure (such as bone grafting) is needed. We provide a clear, personalised quote after your consultation rather than a fixed online price.

How do I care for a dental implant?

Brush and floss as advised, avoid very hard foods while you heal, and keep your regular dental check-ups. Good oral hygiene is the single most important factor in the long-term success of your implant.
