Overview & Treatment Scope
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. A dental implant is a small, screw-like post made of biocompatible titanium that acts as an artificial tooth root. It is surgically placed into your jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over a few months (a process called osseointegration). Once secure, a custom-designed crown is attached, restoring complete dental functionality and a beautiful, natural appearance. At Dr. Nirav's Dental World & Implant Centre, we use state-of-the-art guided implant surgery for maximum precision and minimal discomfort.
Treatment Journey: Step-by-Step
Initial Consultation & Digital Radiography
Comprehensive clinical exam and digital X-rays to assess bone structures.
Implant Placement
A minor surgical procedure to place the titanium implant post into the jawbone under local anesthesia.
Osseointegration
A healing period of 3-6 months during which the bone grows around and secures the implant.
Abutment Placement
A small connector post is attached to the implant to hold the final crown.
Custom Crown Fitting
An impression is taken to create a custom porcelain crown that matches your natural teeth, which is then securely attached.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do dental implants hurt?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, meaning you will feel no pain during the surgery. Afterward, you may experience mild discomfort similar to a tooth extraction, which is easily managed with standard pain medication.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and proper maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The custom crown on top may need replacement after 10-15 years due to normal wear and tear.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with missing teeth are candidates. You need to have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density to support the implant. Even if you have bone loss, bone grafting procedures can make implants possible.
