Dental Implants
About Dental Implants
We offer dental implants in Chitlapakkam, Chennai, as a long-lasting way to replace one or more missing teeth.
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once fused with the bone, they support realistic-looking crowns that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are a permanent solution that preserves bone structure and restores full chewing function.
Benefits
Permanent & Long-Lasting
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime — unlike bridges or dentures that need replacing.
Natural Look and Feel
Implant crowns are custom-crafted to match your surrounding teeth in colour, shape, and size.
Preserves Jawbone
The titanium post stimulates the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.
No Slipping or Discomfort
Fixed securely in the bone, implants do not shift or cause sore spots like removable dentures.
Protects Neighbouring Teeth
Unlike bridges, implants do not require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth.
Treatment Process
Consultation & Assessment
Dr. Divya evaluates your oral health, takes X-rays, and reviews your bone density to determine if you are a suitable candidate.
Treatment Planning
A personalised plan is created, including the type of implant, crown design, and a timeline for each stage.
Implant Placement
The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia.
Osseointegration (Healing)
Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration.
Abutment Fitting
Once healed, a connector piece (abutment) is attached to the implant to support the final crown.
Crown Placement
A custom-made porcelain crown is secured onto the abutment, completing your new natural-looking tooth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with good general health and adequate bone density are suitable candidates. Dr. Divya will assess your bone structure and gum health at the consultation.
How long does the full implant process take?
The complete process typically takes 4–8 months from implant placement to final crown, primarily due to the healing time needed for osseointegration.
Is the implant procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia. Most patients experience mild soreness for a few days after placement, which is managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
How do I care for a dental implant?
Care for your implant just like a natural tooth — brush twice daily, floss, and attend regular check-ups. Implants do not decay, but the surrounding gum tissue still needs care.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Dental implants have a success rate of over 95% over 10 years. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding smoking significantly improves long-term outcomes.
