The Strongest and Most Durable Tooth Loss Solution
Missing teeth can be embarrassing, causing people to hide their smile and lose their self-esteem. Implants help preserve tooth-supporting bone that naturally deteriorates when a tooth is lost. Loss of bone is one of the major hidden consequences of losing teeth.We provide dental implants so that our patients can regain their self-confidence, improve their health and approach life boldly.
A dental implant most often takes the form of a small, screw-shaped titanium post that replaces the root-part of a missing tooth. The surgical procedure used to place an implant is actually quite minor and routine, requiring only local anesthesia in most cases. After a healing period, the implant is topped with a lifelike crown custom-made to match your existing natural teeth. Implants have a documented success rate of over 95%, which is significantly higher than any other tooth-replacement option.

Implant is a bio compatible titanium capsule like device placed in the bone on which a crown is fixed without disturbing the adjacent teeth. Dental Implant procedure is a very good and safe option in case one does not want to get adjacent teeth grinded, as needs during bridge placement.
Implant can be given for
- Replacement of single tooth
- Replacement of multiple teeth
- Fixed complete denture
Dental implants are changing the way people live!
Replacing missing teeth with dental implants is a multi-step process. In order to ensure the smoothest and most successful outcome, Dr. Supreeth will perform each step of the dental implant treatment with the upmost care and attention to detail possible. During your initial visit, our team will break down each step with you in-person so you know exactly what to expect ahead of your surgery. While we’re happy to answer any questions you may have, you can start learning about the process right away!
What happens if I don’t replace a missing tooth?
When a single missing tooth is not replaced, there are several possible and usual consequences
- Drifting of the teeth either side of a gap
- Overeruption of the tooth which used to bite against a missing tooth
- Recession of the gum of the adjacent teeth
- Loss of bone in the jaw where the tooth used to be
- Diminished chewing function
- Facial collapse when many teeth are lost and not replaced
Replacement of One or Missing teeth using Implants
Dental implants replace the root of teeth inside the jawbone below the gumline. Once they have ‘knitted’ to the bone, they can be used for several applications.
The commonest use nowadays is to replace a single missing tooth called an “Implant retained crown.”
Implant retained crowns are standalone, non-removable replacements for natural teeth. They are perhaps more rigid than natural teeth, but are the closest to a natural tooth in terms of feel and look compared to other treatments.
When properly planned and executed, a dental implant will closely mimic the look of the natural tooth and emerge harmoniously from the gumline.

Replace Multiple Teeth
When you have more than one tooth missing, implants provide an ideal replacement mechanism. You don't even need one implant for every missing tooth. Instead, implant teeth can act as supports for fixed bridgework. For example, if you are missing three teeth in a row, we can place two implants, one on either side of the gap, and a crown in between that has no implant underneath.
Dental Implants Replace All Teeth
Replace All Teeth Permanently — Implants can support an entire arch of upper or lower replacement teeth that are fixed into the mouth and are never removed. Sometimes the new teeth can be supported by as few as 4 implants. In cases where jawbone density and volume have deteriorated, 5 or 6 implants might be needed to support a row of 10 to 12 teeth.
Dental Implants Support Removable Dentures
Support Removable Dentures — Implants can even make removable dentures more comfortable, effective and healthier to wear. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and put pressure on the underlying bone. This accelerates bone loss so that the jaw shrinks and the dentures slip, particularly on the bottom.
