Implants
Dental implants in Jalandhar, planned before they are placed.
An implant replaces a missing tooth without touching the healthy teeth either side of it. It is not the right answer for everyone, and we will tell you if it is not.
What it involves
What an implant actually is
An implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone where the root of the missing tooth used to be. Once the bone has healed around it, a crown is fitted on top. The result functions and is cleaned like a normal tooth.
The alternative is usually a bridge, which involves shaping the healthy teeth on either side to carry the replacement. An implant avoids that, which is its main advantage. It also takes longer, because healing cannot be rushed.
Whether an implant is possible depends on how much bone is there. That is decided from an x-ray at the consultation, not from a photograph or a phone call.
Step by step
How the treatment runs
01 — Examination and x-ray
We look at the site, check the bone and discuss whether an implant, a bridge or something else is the sensible option for your case.
02 — Plan and written price
You get the treatment plan and the cost in writing before anything begins. That figure is what you pay.
03 — Placing the implant
The post is placed under local anaesthetic. Most people find this more straightforward than they expected.
04 — Healing
The bone integrates with the post over a period of months. This stage cannot be shortened, and any clinic promising otherwise is not being straight with you.
05 — Fitting the crown
Once healed, the crown is made and fitted, with the shade matched to your existing teeth.

Common questions
What does an implant cost in Jalandhar?
It varies with the tooth, the bone available and the crown chosen. We do not quote before an examination, because a figure given blind is a figure that changes later. You get a written price after the x-ray.
How long does the whole process take?
Typically several months from placement to final crown, because of healing time. The appointments themselves are short; it is the waiting between them that sets the timeline.
Is it painful?
It is done under local anaesthetic, and most patients report less discomfort than they anticipated. Some soreness afterwards is normal and manageable.
Can I have an implant if I have been missing the tooth for years?
Often yes, but bone can reduce over time. The x-ray will show whether there is enough to work with, or whether another option makes more sense.
Are instalments available?
Monthly instalments are available on longer plans. Ask when the plan is drawn up.
