Dental Implants — Permanent Smiles, Lasting Confidence
Replace missing teeth with titanium implants that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Implant assessment with Dr. Jagveer Singh Saluja.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium screw surgically placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a permanent foundation to support a crown, bridge, or denture — restoring the look, feel, and function of natural teeth.
Who Needs Dental Implants?
- Missing one or more teeth due to decay, injury, or gum disease
- Loose or uncomfortable removable dentures
- Failing bridges that need replacement
- Teeth damaged beyond repair with root canal treatment
- Congenitally missing teeth
Types of Dental Implants
- Single Tooth Implant: Replaces one missing tooth with an implant + crown
- Multiple Tooth Implants: Replaces several missing teeth individually
- Implant-Supported Bridge: Two implants support a multi-tooth bridge
- All-on-4 / All-on-6 Full Arch: Complete arch restoration on 4-6 implants

Why Teeth Are Lost
Tooth loss can happen for many reasons. Understanding the cause helps determine the right treatment plan.
Tooth Decay
Untreated cavities destroy tooth structure until extraction is the only option.
Gum Disease (Periodontitis)
Advanced gum disease destroys the bone and ligaments supporting teeth.
Trauma / Injury
Sports injuries, accidents, or falls can knock out or damage teeth beyond repair.
Failed Root Canal
A previously treated root canal can fail, requiring extraction.
Congenital Absence
Some people are born missing certain teeth (congenitally missing lateral incisors).
Severe Wear / Erosion
Bruxism (teeth grinding) or acid erosion can wear teeth down to the gumline.
Bone Resorption — Why Time Matters
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone in that area begins to shrink (resorb) because it’s no longer stimulated by chewing. This bone loss progresses over time, making implant placement more difficult and sometimes requiring bone grafting. That’s why replacing missing teeth promptly is important — dental implants are the only solution that prevents bone loss by stimulating the jawbone like a natural tooth root.
Your Implant Journey — Step by Step
From consultation to your final crown, we guide you through every stage of the implant process.
Consultation & Assessment
Comprehensive examination, dental X-rays, bone density assessment, and personalized treatment planning with Dr. Jagveer Singh Saluja.
Implant Placement Surgery
Under local anesthesia, the titanium implant is precisely placed into the jawbone. The procedure is painless — you’ll feel pressure but no pain.
Healing & Osseointegration
The implant fuses with your jawbone. A temporary crown may be placed for aesthetics during this period.
Abutment Placement
A small connector (abutment) is attached to the implant. The gum heals around it over approximately 2 weeks.
Custom Crown Fabrication
Digital impressions are taken and our in-house lab crafts your permanent crown, color-matched to your natural teeth.
Final Crown Fitting
Your permanent crown is attached to the abutment, bite is adjusted, and the final polish reveals your new smile.
Recovery & Aftercare
Knowing what to expect after implant surgery helps you prepare for a smooth recovery.
Immediate Recovery
Mild swelling and discomfort. Eat soft foods. Take prescribed pain medication. Apply ice packs to reduce swelling.
Stitches Removed
Stitches are removed (if non-dissolvable). Normal activities resume. Swelling subsides significantly.
Gum Healing
Gum tissue fully heals around the implant site. Osseointegration continues beneath the surface.
Osseointegration Complete
The implant has fused securely with the bone. You’re ready for abutment placement and final crown.
Care Instructions
- Soft diet for 1 week after surgery
- Avoid hard, crunchy, or chewy foods
- Brush gently around the implant site
- Use prescribed antibacterial mouthwash
- No smoking — smoking impairs healing and osseointegration
- Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments
Warning Signs — Contact Us If You Experience:
- Severe or increasing pain after Day 3
- Excessive bleeding that doesn’t stop
- Fever above 101°F (38.3°C)
- Pus or foul taste from the implant site
- Loose or shifting implant
- Allergic reaction to medication

Patient Implant Stories
“I lost my front tooth in an accident. Dr. Saluja placed an implant and you can’t tell which one it is — even my dentist friend couldn’t tell! The process was smooth and painless.”
“I had three missing back teeth. Got implants done and six months later I can eat everything normally again. The technology here is world-class. Best decision I ever made.”
“My dentures were loose and uncomfortable. Dr. Saluja recommended All-on-6. It changed my life — I can eat, speak, and smile with total confidence. No more denture adhesive!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implants are designed to last 25+ years — often a lifetime — with proper care. Good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups, and avoiding smoking are key to longevity.
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you’ll feel pressure but no pain. Most patients report the discomfort is less than a tooth extraction. Post-surgery mild soreness is managed with medication.
A single tooth implant including the crown costs between ₹20,000–₹35,000 at Saluja Dento Max Fac Centre. The cost varies based on the implant brand, need for bone grafting, and crown material chosen.
Most adults with missing teeth are eligible. You need healthy gums, sufficient jawbone density, and good general health. An assessment with Dr. Saluja will confirm your eligibility.
The full process takes 3–6 months from implant placement to final crown fitting. This includes the osseointegration (healing) period. Some cases may take longer if bone grafting is needed.
In select cases, immediate-load implants (same-day teeth) are possible. This depends on bone quality, tooth location, and bite forces. Dr. Saluja will assess if you’re a candidate during your consultation.
If you’ve lost bone, we can perform a bone grafting procedure to rebuild the jawbone before implant placement. This adds 3–6 months to the timeline but makes implants possible for almost everyone.
CGHS and ECHS may cover certain components of implant treatment, particularly the surgical portion. Coverage varies by plan. We recommend checking with your specific scheme. Our team can help with documentation.
We use premium, globally-trusted implant systems from brands like Nobel Biocare, Straumann, and BioHorizons. All our implants come with manufacturer warranties and are FDA/CE certified.
Smoking increases the risk of implant failure by impairing healing and osseointegration. We strongly recommend quitting smoking before and after implant treatment. Smokers can still get implants but with a slightly higher risk.
