Dental Implants in Malad West, Mumbai
Dental implants are a long-term tooth-replacement option designed to replace missing tooth roots and support a dental crown, bridge or other restoration. At Dental Dynasty in Malad West, Mumbai, implant treatment is planned according to your oral health, jawbone condition, bite and overall treatment requirements.
Led by Dr. Megh Mehta, Certified Implantologist and Periodontist, our team uses clinical examination, digital imaging and 3D planning where appropriate to develop an individualized implant treatment plan.
Anatomy of a Dental Implant
Unlike a conventional removable denture, a dental implant replaces the tooth root and can support a crown, bridge or other restoration. A typical implant restoration consists of three components:
🔩 The Implant (Titanium Post)
A biocompatible post placed in the jawbone that acts as an artificial tooth root and provides support for the restoration.
🔗 The Abutment
A connector attached to the implant that supports the final crown or other restoration.
💎 The Ceramic Crown
The visible replacement tooth, designed to complement the shape, shade and appearance of the surrounding teeth.
The Dental Dynasty Implant Journey
Implant treatment involves assessment, planning, placement and healing. The exact process and timeline depend on your oral health and individual treatment needs.
3D CBCT Scanning & Digital Planning
When indicated, 3D imaging helps assess jawbone anatomy and nearby structures. This information can help the dentist plan the implant's position and approach.
Implant Placement
The implant is placed in the jawbone using a treatment plan based on your clinical examination and imaging. Local anesthesia is commonly used, and the procedure varies according to individual needs.
Osseointegration and Healing
During healing, the implant integrates with the surrounding bone. This may take several months, depending on the individual case and whether additional procedures are needed.
Final Crown Placement
Once the implant is ready for restoration, the dentist attaches the planned crown or other suitable restoration and checks its fit and bite.
Why Choose a Certified Implantologist?
Dental implant treatment requires careful assessment of bone anatomy, gum health, bite and the surrounding teeth. Dr. Megh Mehta is presented by Dental Dynasty as a Certified Implantologist and Periodontist.
Periodontal expertise focuses on the supporting tissues around teeth and implants. Careful treatment planning can help assess potential complications and support healthy gum tissue around the restoration. The appropriate implant system and treatment approach are selected according to the patient's clinical needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental implant placement is commonly performed under local anesthesia to help manage discomfort during the procedure. Some soreness or swelling can occur afterward, and recovery varies from person to person. Your dentist can explain the expected recovery and appropriate aftercare for your case.
The cost of a dental implant varies according to the implant system, type of restoration and whether additional procedures, such as bone grafting, are required. A consultation helps the dentist assess your needs and provide a treatment plan with the relevant costs.
Age alone does not determine whether someone can receive dental implants. Bone condition, gum health, general health, medications and other clinical factors are important. A dental assessment can help determine whether implants are an appropriate option.
Yes. Depending on the number and location of missing teeth, implants may support individual crowns, an implant-supported bridge or other suitable restorations. The treatment plan depends on your jawbone, gum health, remaining teeth and overall oral condition.
It may still be possible in some cases. If the jawbone does not provide enough support, bone grafting or another procedure may be considered. The appropriate option and timing depend on the available bone, gum condition and clinical findings from your examination and imaging.
Immediate implant placement may be possible in selected cases when the extraction site, bone and surrounding soft tissues are suitable. It is not appropriate for every patient. Your dentist will assess the site and recommend immediate or delayed placement based on your clinical condition.
Brush regularly, clean between your teeth and around the implant using the method recommended by your dentist, and attend routine dental check-ups. Follow the aftercare instructions provided by your dental team. Smoking and tobacco use can increase the risk of implant complications, so discuss these risks with your dentist.
