Dental Implants

Dental implant is an artificial structure that a dental surgeon inserts into the jawbone. An individual can need implants if they have lost just one or more teeth.

What the three weeks actually look like

From sending your first medical scans to your fit-to-fly clearance.

  1. Before you fly

    Reports and a surgeon’s opinion

    Send your X-rays and medical history. Within 24–48 hours you get a named surgeon’s written opinion and a costed plan from each hospital you shortlist.

  2. Day 1–2

    Arrival and tests

    Airport pickup, hotel check-in and hospital consultation. Blood work, ECG, anaesthesia clearance and a fitness review are completed the same or next day.

  3. Day 3

    Surgery

    The operation takes 60–90 minutes per joint. You are moved to your private room the same day and stood up with support within 24 hours.

  4. Day 4–7

    Walking with physio

    Twice-daily physiotherapy in the ward. Most patients walk with a frame by day two after surgery and manage stairs before discharge.

  5. Day 8–21

    Recovery and review

    You stay near the hospital in a serviced hotel with outpatient physio, then a final review, stitch removal and fit-to-fly clearance before you travel home.

Questions patients ask before they book

Essential details on payments, visa processing, language and post-operative flight permissions.

Can a dental implant be rejected by your mouth?+
An individual???s body very rarely rejects an implant. The jawbone accepts a dental implant. The very few rejections may be due to rare allergies to titanium alloy, the material of the implant. Another reason for the failure of the dental implants can be improper care of it after the surgery. Without good oral hygiene, natural teeth fall out finally. When you take good care of the teeth and implants, it would help prevent structure failure and gum decay later on.
Can dental implants be removed like dentures?+
No they cannot be removed as dental implants are fixed solidly within the bone and allow tooth to be replaced in a way that is almost similar to natural teeth.
What is the success rate of dental implants in India?+
The success rate of dental implants in India differs from individual to individual. For a healthy person with proper oral hygiene, dental implants and good health are successful with reported success rates of over 90-95%.
Do dental implants last?+
Dental implants, unlike natural teeth, aren???t susceptible to dental diseases such as decay. But the health of the gums is crucial for maintaining lasting implant success. Proper home care by the patients and regular cleanings and check-ups are important for dental implant???s sustainability. The success rate for dental implants depends on diagnosis as well as planning, medical history, as well as a number of other factors.
Who is considered a good candidate for a dental implant?+
Anyone with is missing multiple teeth, a single tooth, or all teeth are considered good candidates for dental implants. Talk to the prosthodontist for your specific requirements.
