A missing tooth is not just a cosmetic problem. The bone beneath begins to shrink. Adjacent teeth shift. Chewing becomes uneven. A dental implant addresses all of this — permanently. It is the closest thing modern dentistry has to a natural tooth.
Understanding the procedure and what makes it different from all other replacement options.
A small titanium screw is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. Titanium is biocompatible — the body does not reject it.
The implant fuses with the jawbone over 3–6 months. This integration is what gives the implant its exceptional stability — it becomes part of the jaw.
Once integrated, a custom porcelain crown is attached. The crown is matched exactly to your adjacent teeth in colour, shape, and size.
Fixed, permanent, maintenance-free beyond normal brushing. The implant does not decay. The crown may need replacement after 15–20 years.
From first appointment to final crown. What happens at each stage.
X-rays and clinical examination to assess bone density, gum health, and the space available. Dr. Sobti explains all options and costs clearly at this stage.
The titanium post is placed under local anaesthesia — a 45–60 minute procedure. Most patients describe it as less uncomfortable than they expected. You go home the same day.
3–6 months for osseointegration. A temporary tooth is provided so you are never without a tooth in that gap.
An impression is taken and your custom crown is fabricated. It is attached to the implant. The process is complete — your new tooth is ready.
Understanding the difference helps you make the right decision for your situation.
Permanent, fixed, and preserves the jawbone. The gold standard for tooth replacement.
Fixed replacement spanning the gap — anchored to adjacent teeth.
Removable replacement — full or partial — resting on the gum.
No commitment at consultation. Dr. Sobti explains all options and costs clearly before you decide.
