Dental implants in Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam
A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth with a small titanium post. A crown is fixed on top, so the new tooth looks, feels and works like your own, without cutting down the teeth beside it.
Signs and suitability
Is an implant right for you?
An implant may suit you if you have:
- One or more missing teeth
- A loose tooth that cannot be saved
- A gap that makes chewing difficult
- A preference for a fixed tooth over a removable denture
- Healthy gums
- Enough jaw bone, checked on an X-ray or scan
Step by step
How a dental implant is placed
Consultation and scan
The dentist examines your mouth and checks the jaw bone with an X-ray or scan.
Implant placement
Under local anaesthesia, the titanium implant is placed in the jaw bone.
Healing
Over the next few months the bone bonds with the implant and anchors it firmly.
Crown fitting
A custom crown, often zirconia, is fixed on the implant and matched to your other teeth.
Care and check-ups
Brush and floss as usual and come in for regular check-ups.

Questions
Dental implants questions.
Answers to common questions. For advice about your own teeth, book a check-up.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
The implant is placed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Mild swelling or soreness for a few days afterwards is normal.
How long does a dental implant take?
From placement to the final crown usually takes a few months, because the bone needs time to bond with the implant.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last for many years.
Can everyone get a dental implant?
Most adults with healthy gums can. Low bone, uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking may need extra steps or a different option. The dentist will check this at your consultation.
What is the cost of dental implants in Gajuwaka?
The cost depends on the number of implants, the implant system and the crown. The consultation is ₹300, and you get a written estimate before treatment.
