Dental implants in Indore
An implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up, so it doesn’t move, doesn’t need neighbouring teeth to be cut, and lets you chew normally again.

ProfileWhat it is
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jaw bone where a tooth is missing. Over the following weeks the bone bonds to it, and a crown is fixed on top.
Unlike a bridge, an implant does not require the healthy teeth on either side to be trimmed. Unlike a removable denture, it doesn’t move when you eat or speak.

Patients on dental implants
In their own words.
I recently had an implant done by Dr. Brijesh and I couldn't be happier with the results. My new tooth looks and feels just like my original one, and no one can even tell that it's an implant. Dr. Brijesh was incredibly skilled and professional throughout the entire process, and made sure that I was comfortable and well-informed.
My mother had three teeth planted recently. The whole process was so smooth and relaxing. I will definitely recommend Brijesh sir for the best guidance and care. He is very humble, professional and gives genuine advice to patients.
Very easily and skilfully implant and later on crown fixing done. For most of the time during treatment, I was made very much comfortable. I am very much satisfied with the treatment.
FAQ
Dental Implants: your questions.
Is implant surgery painful?
It is done under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling for a few days afterwards is normal.
How long do implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last for many years, often decades. Smoking and uncontrolled diabetes increase the risk of problems.
Is a root canal better than an implant?
If your natural tooth can be saved, saving it is usually the better choice. Implants are for teeth that are already missing or truly cannot be saved. Several of our patients came in expecting an implant and kept their tooth after a root canal.
