Dental Implants

Options include single-tooth implants, bridges on multiple implants, and full-arch All-on-4/All-on-6. India provides internationally trained dentists, digital workflows, and brands like Straumann/Nobel at ~60–75% lower costs, with dental tourism programs and bundled packages via MediHeal International.

• Missing teeth (single, multiple, or full-arch edentulism) with adequate bone or willingness for grafting.
• Healthy gums and controlled systemic conditions; committed to excellent oral hygiene and maintenance.
• Non-smokers or willing to stop before/after surgery; realistic expectations for timelines and outcomes.

• Internationally trained implantologists; JCI/NABH-accredited centres; digital planning and guided surgery.
• Access to premium systems (e.g., Straumann, Nobel Biocare) and CAD/CAM prosthetics.
• Significant cost advantage (often 60–75% lower) with fast scheduling and coordinated care.

• Clinic and surgeon matching (single-tooth to full-arch); remote case review with photos/CBCT where available.
• Transparent quotes with brand, abutment type, prosthetic material, visits, and maintenance schedule.
• Logistics: visa guidance, flights, airport transfers, accommodation, interpreters, and tele-follow-ups.

• Single-Tooth Implant— Implant + abutment + crown for isolated gaps.
• Multi-Unit Bridge on Implants— Fewer implants supporting multiple adjacent teeth.
• Full-Arch All-on-4 / All-on-6— Fixed bridges per arch; immediate/early loading when criteria met.
• Add-ons— Bone graft, sinus lift, ridge augmentation to rebuild volume and stability.

1. Assessment

   • Clinical exam, CBCT imaging, digital planning for implant number/position.
   • Discuss grafting needs, loading protocol (immediate vs staged), and material choices.

2. Surgical Placement

   • Local anaesthesia or sedation; implant insertion and healing cap/temporary as indicated.
   • Post-op meds, hygiene instructions, and diet guidance.

3. Osseointegration

   • Bone fuses with implant over ~2–6 months depending on site, bone quality, and protocol.
   • Avoid excessive bite forces; review healing at scheduled checks.

4. Final Restoration

   • Custom abutment and crown/bridge/denture after stability is confirmed.
   • Occlusal adjustment and delivery of maintenance plan.

1. 24–72 hours

   Swelling/bruising possible; cold compresses, soft diet, careful oral hygiene.

2. 1–2 weeks

   Most activities resume; suture removal if used; gradual diet widening.

3. 2–6 months

   Osseointegration phase; load per dentist guidance; final prosthesis when stable.

• Restored chewing efficiency, speech, and aesthetics; preserves jaw bone vs traditional bridges/dentures.
• Fixed solutions reduce denture discomfort and improve confidence.
• For travelers: coordinated plans, predictable timelines, and cost savings with premium systems.

• National listings often cite ₹20,000–₹50,000 per tooth (brand and case dependent).
• Add-ons (grafts, sinus lift), premium abutments/crowns, sedation, and extra visits affect totals.
• Request brand, abutment type, prosthetic materials, visits, and maintenance schedule in writing.

• Many complete placement (±temporary) in one trip and return after 2–6 months for final teeth.
• Immediate-load protocols can finish sooner when criteria are met (bone quality, primary stability).
• Visa category depends on purpose and duration; confirm current rules and attendant options before booking.

• Stop smoking; optimize diabetes/BP; treat gum disease before implants.
• Professional cleaning, antiseptic mouthwash plan, and bite assessment (bruxism/nightguard).
• Share CBCT and dental records for accurate remote planning.

• Meticulous hygiene (interdental brushes/water flossers), regular professional cleanings.
• Nightguard for bruxism; avoid very hard foods initially and follow occlusal checks.
• Scheduled follow-ups to monitor tissue health and implant stability.
