Dental Implants in Andheri East, Mumbai

Natural Look & Feel

Implants closely resemble real teeth, blending seamlessly to enhance your smile and overall facial appearance with natural aesthetics.

Chewing & Clear Speech

They are fixed in place, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak clearly without the slipping or irritation of dentures.

Jawbone Preservation

Implants fuse with the bone (osseointegration) to stimulate growth, preventing bone loss and facial structure changes after tooth loss.

Convenience & Strength

Highly durable and decay-resistant, implants don't require grinding adjacent teeth (unlike bridges) and can last a lifetime with proper care.

Types of Dental Implants

Osstem/Neobiotech Implants

These implants are perfect for people who are missing one or a few teeth. They are surgically inserted into the jawbone and consist of a titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root. This post supports a custom-made crown that looks and functions like a real tooth. Single tooth implants provide stability, help prevent bone loss, and fit perfectly with the surrounding teeth.

Straumann Dental Implants

Straumann Implants offer a premium solution for dental restoration. Known for their precision, they integrate seamlessly with the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Designed with advanced technology, these implants ensure stability and promote bone preservation. Each implant is custom-made to match your natural teeth, delivering a lifelike appearance.

All-on-2 Dental Implants

The All-on-2 dental implant system is designed to support an entire arch of teeth using just two strategically placed implants. This approach is ideal for patients with significant tooth loss, offering a stable and durable solution. By utilizing only two implants, the All-on-2 system minimizes the need for extensive surgery while maximizing support for the full arch prosthesis. It effectively restores function and aesthetics.

All-on-4 Dental Implants

This method is suitable for people who are missing most or all of their teeth in one or both jaws. The All-on-4 technique involves placing four implants into the jawbone to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. This approach makes the most of the existing bone, often reducing the need for bone grafting. It also allows for the immediate fitting of a temporary set of teeth on the same day as the procedure.

Dental Implant Procedure

The process of placing a dental implant involves several stages.

Thanks to modern dentistry, the implant placement procedure is comfortable and pain-free.
The procedure starts with preparing the jawbone, where the surgeon makes a cut to expose the bone and drills holes deep enough for the implant to be securely placed, similar to a tooth root.
If the bone is weak or lacks strength, bone grafting might be necessary. The surgeon then waits for the jawbone to heal before placing the metal post.
This entire process can take several months, mostly spent on healing and waiting for new bone growth.
A temporary crown is provided to fill the gap and achieve an aesthetic look. This crown will be removed later once the bone has properly healed.

During healing, the jawbone grows and fuses with the implant's surface in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable base for the new tooth.
This healing period typically takes 3 to 6 months, depending on bone health. In some cases, it can be completed in one day if the bone structure is strong.
After osseointegration, a second surgery is scheduled to expose the implant heads. Your dentist will take an x-ray to confirm the implant's readiness for the next stage.

Another surgery might be needed to place the abutment, the piece that connects the crown to the implant. This procedure is relatively simple and usually done with anesthesia.
The dentist reopens the wound to attach the abutment. A temporary crown is placed for 4 to 6 weeks to allow the gums around the abutment to heal. This crown is softer to cushion the implant and help with healing.
It's advised to eat only soft foods after each surgery stage to aid proper healing.

In this final stage, the dentist ensures the permanent crown looks just like your natural teeth. The surface texture, color, and shape are finely tuned to match the surrounding teeth.
If you're unhappy with the crown, your dentist can send it back to the lab for adjustments.
Impressions of your mouth and remaining teeth are taken to make a realistic-looking crown. The crown is placed once the jawbone is strong enough.
It usually takes 2 to 3 weeks to create a permanent crown, which is then cemented or screwed to the implant.
After placing the permanent crown, your dentist will provide post-implant care instructions.

Post-Operative Instructions For Dental Implants

Do's

If you experience bleeding, bite on a gauze pad placed on the bleeding wound for 30 minutes to control it.
Apply an ice pack on your cheek near the surgical area as much as possible for the first 36 hours to minimize swelling.
Use the prescribed oral rinse twice daily—after breakfast and before bed—rinsing for at least 30 seconds and then spitting it out. Also, use warm salt rinses 4-5 times a day to keep the area clean.
Drink lots of fluids, but avoid hot beverages to stay hydrated.
Stick to a soft diet on the day of surgery and gradually return to your regular diet once the surgical area is healed.
Start taking pain medication as soon as you feel the effects of the local anesthetic wearing off.
Rinse the healing abutments frequently and keep them clean. Once the stitches dissolve, gently massage the abutments to clean them.

Don'ts

Do not touch, spit, or rinse the wound on the day of surgery and avoid touching the metal healing abutment.
Do not use or consume tobacco products in any form, as it hinders healing and may increase the risk of implant failure.
Avoid drinking anything using a straw.
Do not engage in exercise immediately after the surgery; if you experience bleeding or throbbing, stop the activity immediately.
Do not use partial or complete dentures or flippers immediately after surgery for a few days.

Quick Answers

Dental implants in Andheri East — quick answers

Short, direct answers to what patients ask Dr. Quazi Wasim Bari most often before booking an implant consultation.

How much do dental implants cost in Mumbai?

Implant cost depends on the implant system used, whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed, and the crown material. Dazzle Dental Care gives a written, itemised quote after a CBCT scan and clinical examination, and EMI options are available. Call +91 98922 74856 for current pricing.

How long does a dental implant take from start to finish?

A straightforward single implant takes about 3 to 4 months in total: placement takes one appointment of roughly 45–60 minutes, then the implant integrates with the jawbone for 3 months before the final crown is fitted. Immediate-loading cases can be faster where bone quality allows.

Is a dental implant painful?

Placement is done under local anaesthesia and is virtually painless. Most patients report mild soreness for 2–3 days afterwards, managed with standard prescribed painkillers, and return to normal routine the next day.

Am I too old for dental implants?

There is no upper age limit. What matters is bone volume and general health — controlled diabetes, blood pressure or thyroid conditions are not barriers. A CBCT scan and medical history review decide suitability, not age.

What is the difference between a dental implant and a bridge?

A bridge requires grinding down the two healthy teeth on either side of the gap. An implant does not touch neighbouring teeth, replaces the root as well as the crown, and prevents the jawbone shrinkage that follows tooth loss.

How long do dental implants last?

A well-placed, well-maintained implant can last a lifetime. The titanium post fuses permanently with bone; the visible crown may need replacing after roughly 15–20 years of normal wear.
