Dental Implants in Kharghar, Navi Mumbai

An implant has three parts: the titanium post that sits in your jawbone, an abutment that connects to it, and the crown you see and chew with. The post is placed during a short procedure under local anaesthetic, then left to fuse with the bone over a few months — a process called osseointegration. Once it's solid, the crown goes on top. That fusion is what makes an implant feel like a tooth rather than something stuck in.

Titanium is used because the body accepts it well and bone grows tightly around it, which is what gives an implant its grip. That's also why the few months of healing matter: rush a crown onto a post that hasn't fully fused and it won't hold. A bridge or denture, by contrast, sits on top of the gum and doesn't stop the bone beneath a gap from slowly shrinking — one reason many people in Kharghar end up choosing an implant when they want the gap dealt with for good.

Implants work well for most adults with healthy gums and enough jawbone to hold the post. They're a strong option whether you're replacing one tooth, a few, or anchoring a denture that won't sit still. The first visit at our Kharghar clinic is a proper assessment — gum health, bone level on the scan, and your medical history all matter before anyone commits to a plan.

Step one is a consultation and a 3D scan so Dr. Shipra can see the bone and plan exactly where the post sits. Step two is placement — the implant goes in under local anaesthetic, and most people say it's easier than they feared. Then comes healing, usually three to six months while the bone grips the post. Finally, an impression is taken and a custom crown is fitted. You leave with a tooth that's yours to chew, brush, and forget about.

Here's the part worth saying out loud: an implant isn't always the answer. If your own tooth can still be saved, that almost always beats replacing it — which is why a painful tooth is sometimes better treated with a root canal first. If the bone in the area has shrunk a lot, you may need grafting before an implant is sensible, or a well-made bridge or denture might suit you better for now. Dr. Shipra will tell you honestly if a simpler route fits your mouth and your budget.

An implant doesn't decay, but the gum and bone around it still need looking after. Brush and floss it like a normal tooth, and keep your regular check-ups so we can spot any gum trouble early. Treated well, implants placed at Reform Dental Clinic are built to last many years. Skip the upkeep and the gum around any implant can become inflamed — so the maintenance genuinely matters.

At your routine visits we check the gum around the implant, the bite, and the crown, and give it a professional clean in the spots a brush misses. If you grind your teeth at night, a simple night guard protects both the implant and your natural teeth from the extra load. None of this is complicated — it's the same care that keeps any tooth healthy, applied to one that happens to have a titanium root.

The honest answer is that it depends — on how many teeth, the implant system used, whether you need a graft, and the type of crown. Because of that, we don't quote a flat number online. You'll get a clear, itemised plan at your consultation so you know the figure before any work begins. Dr. Shipra believes good dental care should stay within reach, so if cost is a worry, say so and we'll talk through the options.
