Dental Implants starting Rs. 19,999 in Sector 36, Chandigarh 

This is a very common concern. While any surgical procedure involves some level of discomfort, the implant placement itself is typically not painful. We administer local anesthesia to numb the area completely before starting. Many patients report feeling only pressure during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is usually minimal and easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication like ibuprofen or paracetamol. We prioritize your comfort throughout the entire process. 

The timeline for dental implants can vary depending on several factors, including the quality and quantity of your jawbone. The process generally involves:

1. Initial Consultation & Planning: This includes a thorough examination, X-rays, impressions and scans to create a personalized treatment plan.

2. Implant Placement: The titanium implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone.

3. Osseointegration (Healing Period): This is crucial; it’s the process where the implant fuses with the bone. This typically takes 3-6 months.

4. Abutment Placement: An abutment is attached to the implant, which will hold the final restoration.

5. Restoration Placement: The final crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment. In cases where bone grafting is necessary, the overall treatment time may be extended.

Most individuals in good overall health are suitable candidates for dental implants. However, certain factors can affect candidacy:

• Adequate Bone Density: Sufficient bone is necessary to support the implant. If bone loss has occurred, bone grafting may be required.

• Good Oral Hygiene: Maintaining excellent oral hygiene is essential for implant success.

• Controlled Medical Conditions: Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or certain autoimmune diseases can affect healing and implant success.

• Smoking: Smoking can significantly impair healing and increase the risk of implant failure. A comprehensive evaluation, including a review of your medical history and a clinical examination, is essential to determine your suitability.

Dental bridges offer several advantages over traditional removable dentures:

• Stability and Comfort: Bridges are fixed to adjacent teeth, providing greater stability and comfort compared to dentures, which can sometimes shift or slip.

• Improved Chewing and Speech: Bridges restore chewing efficiency and speech clarity more effectively than dentures.

• Natural Feel and Appearance: Bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a more natural look and feel. However, bridges do require altering adjacent teeth for support, which is a consideration.

Implant-supported dentures combine the benefits of implants and dentures. They are anchored to dental implants, providing significantly improved stability, retention, and chewing function compared to traditional dentures. This eliminates issues like slippage and the need for messy adhesives. They can be either fixed (permanently attached) or removable (snap-on).

While dental implants have a high success rate, like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks:

• Infection: Proper sterilization and post-operative care minimize this risk.

• Nerve Damage: There's a small risk of nerve damage during implant placement, which can cause numbness or tingling.

• Implant Failure: In rare cases, the implant may not integrate with the bone (osseointegration failure). This is often related to factors like smoking, poor bone quality, or infection. We take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure the success of your implant treatment.

This is a very important question, and it's understandably a primary concern for many patients considering implants in Chandigarh. The cost of dental implants in Chandigarh, and indeed anywhere, can vary significantly. Several factors influence the final price:

• Type of Implant: Different implant systems and materials are available, each with varying costs.   

• Need for Additional Procedures: Procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts, if required, will add to the overall cost.

• Type of Restoration: The type of restoration placed on the implant (crown, bridge, or denture) also affects the price.
