Understanding implants

A dental implant acts as a replacement root. It is placed in the jawbone, given time to heal, and then used to support new teeth. If you are researching dental implants in Pondicherry, this overview explains the main parts and options before your consultation.

FAQs

Questions patients often ask

Short answers to common questions. Your dentist can tell you what applies to you after an examination.

What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a small post, usually made of titanium or zirconia, that is placed in the jawbone to act as a replacement tooth root. Once the bone has healed around it, it can support a crown, a bridge or a full-arch set of teeth.

Implants are one of several ways to replace missing teeth, alongside bridges and dentures. Learn how dental implant treatment works.

Who may be suitable for dental implants?

Many adults with missing teeth can be considered for implants, but suitability depends on individual factors, including:

  • healthy gums, or gum disease that has been treated and is stable
  • enough jawbone to hold an implant, or ways to address bone loss
  • general health, such as diabetes control, and any medicines you take
  • smoking, which can affect healing
  • being able to clean around implants every day

Only an examination by a dentist, usually with X-rays or a 3D scan, can show whether implants are suitable for you.

What factors affect dental implant treatment costs?

The cost depends on your individual treatment plan. The main factors include:

  • the number of implants needed
  • whether extractions, gum treatment or bone grafting are needed first
  • the type of restoration: a single crown, a bridge, a full-arch bridge or an implant-retained denture
  • the materials used for the final teeth
  • imaging, temporary teeth and the number of visits

The clinic can explain the costs of the options that suit you once your assessment is complete.
