A missing tooth can make eating, speaking and smiling harder. Dr. Athhar Maswood K and the team at Pristine Dental Clinic check whether an implant suits you, explain each step and the cost, and go ahead only when you are ready.
The exact plan, number of visits and cost are explained after your examination.
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone where a tooth is missing. It works like the root of a tooth. Over a few months the bone grows around the post and holds it firmly in place.
Once the post is steady, a crown made to match your other teeth is fixed on top. The result looks and feels like a natural tooth, and it does not need the teeth next to it to be filed down, as a bridge does.
At Pristine Dental Clinic in HSR Layout, every implant plan starts with an examination and an X-ray, so the advice is based on your gums, your bone and your health.
Only an examination and an X-ray can confirm whether an implant is right for you.
An implant is one of several ways to replace a tooth. Dr. Athhar will tell you which option fits your case.
A single implant replaces one tooth without touching the teeth beside it.
Implants can support a bridge or crowns across a gap.
When a tooth is too damaged to repair, an implant can replace it after it is removed.
Implants can hold dentures steadier than a plate that rests on the gum.
A gap can make eating on one side tiring. Replacing the tooth can help.
A missing front tooth can affect confidence when you smile or speak.
If you are in pain or have swelling around a tooth, call the clinic first on 090193 67756.
The time from start to finish depends on your bone and on how the area heals. Dr. Athhar will give you an idea after the X-ray.
Dr. Athhar checks your gums, your teeth and the bone in the area, and takes an X-ray.
You are told whether an implant suits you, what the steps are, how long it may take and what it will cost, before anything starts.
The area is numbed with local anaesthesia and the titanium post is placed in the jawbone.
The bone grows around the post over the next few months. You come back for check-ups during this time.
When the post is steady, a crown matched to your teeth is fixed on top.
You will be shown how to clean around the implant. Regular check-ups keep the gum and bone healthy.

Your treatment plan starts with the dentist in HSR Layout checking your teeth, gums and jawbone. Good oral health matters before an implant: gum disease or tooth decay elsewhere in the mouth is usually treated first, and a tooth that is still painful may need root canal treatment or removal.
The plan tells you how many implants you need, whether they hold a crown, a bridge or a denture, how many visits it will take and the full cost. If you are comparing options, the same visit covers bridges and dentures too, so you can choose with all the facts.
After the implant, regular dental care keeps it healthy: brushing twice a day, cleaning between your teeth, and check-ups at the clinic.

Call 090193 67756The cost depends on the number of teeth, the condition of your bone and the type of crown. After the examination and X-ray, Dr. Athhar explains the plan and the full cost before anything starts.
The area is numbed with local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Some soreness and swelling afterwards is common and usually settles in a few days. Call the clinic if it does not.
It varies. The bone needs time to grow around the implant, so the process usually takes a few months from the first visit to the final crown. Dr. Athhar will give you an estimate for your case.
Weak bone, gum disease that is not under control, smoking and some medical conditions can affect the result. Dr. Athhar will check these at the examination and tell you what can be done.
Like any procedure, implants carry some risks, such as infection, an implant that does not settle in the bone, or injury to a nearby nerve. These are not common, and Dr. Athhar will explain them for your case before you decide.
With good cleaning and regular check-ups, implants can last many years. How long depends on your bone, your gums and how well you look after the area.
A bridge uses the teeth on either side of the gap for support, and those teeth are filed down. An implant stands on its own in the bone. Dr. Athhar will explain which suits you.

Cleveland Clinic says that when an experienced surgeon places implants, the risk of complications is minimal. Some conditions, such as untreated gum disease or diabetes that is not under control, can make implants harder. A check first tells you if an implant suits you.
Clean it like your other teeth: brush, clean between your teeth and keep up regular dental check-ups. Tell the dentist if the implant feels loose, or the gum around it bleeds, swells or hurts.
