Is the implant procedure painful?

Placement is done under local anaesthesia. Most people describe mild soreness afterwards that eases with simple medication.

Am I suitable for a dental implant?

Suitability depends on bone, gum health and general health. An examination and scan confirm whether you can proceed.

Implant, bridge or denture?

Implants preserve bone and do not involve neighbouring teeth. Bridges and dentures can be quicker or suit patients who cannot have surgery. Your dentist compares the options for you.

How soon can I eat normally?

Soft foods are advised in the early weeks. Normal chewing resumes once the implant has healed and the crown is fitted.

Dental Implants in Coimbatore

The short answer: A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root, topped with a crown, bridge or denture. Planning uses an examination and a scan to check bone and gum health. Implants can replace one tooth, several teeth or a full arch, and need regular cleaning like natural teeth.

Dental Implants: your questions answered

With good hygiene and regular reviews, implants can last many years, often decades. Smoking and gum disease shorten their life.

Full-Arch Fixed Teeth (All-on-4 & All-on-6)

All-on-4 and All-on-6 replace a full arch of teeth with a fixed bridge supported by four or six implants. They are an option when most or all teeth are missing or failing. A 3D scan decides whether you have enough bone and how many implants are suitable.

Jaw Bone Rebuilding (Bone Graft & Sinus Lift)

A bone graft adds bone material to areas where the jaw has become thin, and a sinus lift raises the floor of the sinus to make room for upper back implants. These procedures create enough bone for an implant to be placed securely. They are planned using a 3D scan.

Crowns & Bridges

A crown is a cap that covers and protects a damaged tooth. A bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by joining crowns on neighbouring teeth to a false tooth in between. Both are made in a dental laboratory from materials such as zirconia, porcelain or metal-ceramic.
