Implant Dentistry in Kolkata
advanced diagnostic tools
Losing a tooth changes more than your appearance. Chewing becomes harder, speech can be affected, and over time, the surrounding bone starts to shrink. Dental implants solve all of this — not just cosmetically, but functionally.
We offer single tooth implants and full mouth restorations at our Kolkata clinic, handled by dentists who place implants regularly and know the procedure well.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone. It acts as the root of your new tooth. Once it bonds with the bone, a crown, bridge, or denture is fixed on top.
The end result looks and feels like a real tooth. You don’t take it out at night. You don’t worry about it slipping. You just use it.
Why Implants Over Other Options?
- They protect the bone. When a tooth is lost, the bone underneath begins to disappear. Implants are the only replacement option that actively prevents this.
- They leave neighboring teeth alone. A bridge works by grinding down the teeth on either side. Implants don’t touch them.
- They last. Bridges and dentures need replacing. A well-maintained implant can last the rest of your life.
- They’re stable. No adhesives, no movement. You eat what you want without thinking about it.
How the Procedure Works
- Consultation: We take a 3D scan and examine your bone and gum health to see if you’re a good candidate.
- Planning: Every case is different. Your treatment plan is built around whether you need one implant or several.
- Placement: The implant is placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. Sedation is available if you prefer. Most patients find it more comfortable than they expected.
- Healing: The implant bonds to the bone over a few months — a natural process called osseointegration. You won’t feel it happening.
- Crown fitting: Once healed, your final crown, bridge, or denture is attached. That’s it.
Are You a Candidate?
If you have healthy gums and reasonable bone density, you almost certainly qualify. Bone loss doesn’t automatically rule you out — grafting can rebuild what’s needed before the implant is placed. We’ll check everything during your first visit and give you a straight answer.
What Does It Cost?
The price depends on how many implants you need, which type is used, and what the final restoration looks like. There’s no single number that applies to everyone.
What we can say: implants cost more upfront than bridges or dentures, but they don’t need replacing. Over ten or twenty years, they’re often the more economical choice — and certainly the more comfortable one.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it hurt?
During the procedure, no — you’ll be numb. Afterwards, some soreness for a day or two is normal, similar to any minor dental surgery. Most patients manage it easily with over-the-counter pain relief.
What's the success rate?
95–98% when placed by an experienced surgeon and maintained with normal oral hygiene at home. Implants fail rarely, and usually because of factors identified before placement — which is exactly why the consultation matters.
How do I pick the right clinic?
Look for CBCT imaging, strict sterilization, and a surgeon who places implants routinely. Don’t base the decision on price alone — this is a permanent fixture in your jaw.
How long does the whole thing take?
From placement to final crown, usually three to six months. If time is a concern, ask about immediate loading — in suitable cases, a temporary restoration can go in the same day as the implant.
Are there different types of implants?
Yes. Most people get endosteal implants, placed directly into the bone. In cases where bone volume is limited, subperiosteal or zygomatic implants may be considered. Your surgeon will recommend what makes sense for your specific situation.
