Who is this surgery for?
- Replacement of one or more missing teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease.
- Patients with a fully developed jawbone and sufficient bone density to support the implant.
- Individuals who are unable or unwilling to wear conventional dentures.
- To provide support for a dental bridge, eliminating the need for a removable partial denture.
- To secure a full-arch denture (implant-supported dentures) for improved stability.
- Patients in good general and oral health, free from uncontrolled conditions that affect healing.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive dental examination, including X-rays and 3D scans (CBCT) to assess bone quality and plan placement.
- Review of medical history and medications; adjustments may be needed for conditions like diabetes or for blood thinners.
- Treatment of any existing dental issues, such as gum disease or tooth decay, prior to surgery.
- Discussion of anesthesia options (local, sedation, or general) and pre-operative instructions.
- Possible pre-surgical procedures like bone grafting if the jawbone is insufficient.
- Arranging for someone to drive you home after the procedure if sedation is used.
- Fasting for a specified period if sedation or general anesthesia is planned.
Risks & possible complications
- Infection at the implant site.
- Injury or damage to surrounding structures, such as nerves, blood vessels, or adjacent teeth.
- Sinus problems (for implants in the upper jaw).
- Implant failure due to poor osseointegration (the bone not fusing properly to the implant).
- Peri-implantitis, an inflammatory condition affecting the soft and hard tissues around the implant.
- Allergic reaction to the titanium alloy (very rare).
- Mechanical issues, such as a loose or broken crown or abutment screw.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Expect swelling, bruising, minor bleeding, and discomfort at the surgical site for a few days; managed with ice packs and prescribed pain medication.
- Adhere to a soft-food diet for the first week or as advised, avoiding hot foods and chewing on the implant site.
- Maintain meticulous oral hygiene with gentle brushing and prescribed antimicrobial rinses, avoiding the surgical site initially.
- Avoid smoking and strenuous physical activity for at least the first few days to weeks, as they can hinder healing.
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing and remove any stitches.
- The final crown is typically placed 3 to 6 months after surgery, once the implant has fully integrated with the jawbone.
- Long-term care involves regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings, just like natural teeth.

Sneha Kumar, a 35-year-old software developer...
Sneha Kumar, a 35-year-old software developer and mother of two, had a congenitally missing lateral incisor (a small tooth next to her front tooth). She spent her youth with a removable partial denture, which felt bulky and embarrassing. As an adult, she opted for a resin-bonded 'Maryland' bridge, which recently failed. The gap made her feel unprofessional and insecure. Her periodontist, Dr. Lee, advised that a dental implant was the most conservative long-term solution, as it doesn't require altering the healthy adjacent teeth. Sneha was anxious about the time commitment fitting into her busy family schedule but prioritized a lasting fix. The implant placement was straightforward, and she managed post-op discomfort with over-the-counter pain relievers. After the crown was placed, it blended seamlessly with her natural teeth. The recovery was smooth, with minimal disruption. Emotionally, Sneha's journey was from a lifelong sense of dental imperfection and hassle to profound relief and normalcy. She finally feels her smile is complete and authentic, boosting her confidence at work and home.
