The gap where a tooth used to be changes more than just the smile. Chewing shifts. The teeth on either side drift. The jawbone underneath starts to shrink.

IVIA Dental, dental implants in Faridabad replace the whole tooth, not just the visible part. A titanium post goes into the jawbone where the root was. A crown attaches on top. It looks and functions like a natural tooth and stops the bone loss that begins the moment a tooth is gone.

Dr. Shruti Khatana, MDS in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, leads implant cases alongside a team of alumni from MAMC, AIIMS, and PGIDS. Assessment, planning, placement, and restoration all happen at the same clinic. So there are no referrals. Read how it actually works.

How Do Dental Implants Work and Why Do They Last So Long?

A dental implant becomes part of the jaw. That is what makes it permanent in a way that no other tooth replacement option is.

• The implant itself is a small titanium post roughly the size and shape of a natural tooth root, placed surgically into the jawbone.
• Over the following 3 to 6 months, the bone grows around and into the surface of the titanium in a process called osseointegration.
• The implant doesn’t just sit in the jaw. It becomes structurally integrated with it. That is the same mechanism that holds natural tooth roots in place, which is why a well-placed implant can last 20 years or more.
• Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment, a small connector is attached to the top of the implant.
• The crown, which is the visible tooth, is then fixed onto the abutment.

Most patients find it indistinguishable from the real thing within a few weeks..

What Does a Dental Implant Offer That Other Options Cannot?

The most important thing a dental implant does is stop bone loss. No bridge or denture does this. That single difference has consequences that go beyond aesthetics.

When a tooth root is gone, the jawbone beneath it no longer receives the stimulation it needs to maintain density. Within 6 to 12 months of tooth loss, bone resorption begins.

• The jaw starts to shrink in that area.
• Neighbouring teeth lose their support structure and drift.
• The face above the gap begins to look sunken.

This process continues gradually for years unless something replaces the root and only an implant does that. What dental implants at a best dental clinic in Faridabad actually offer:

• Eat without restriction as implants withstand normal biting and chewing forces
• Speak normally because nothing shifts or moves in the mouth
• Clean like natural teeth, brush and floss as usual, no special products
• Preserve bone and face shape, the jawbone stays stimulated and intact
• Last 20 years or more with normal care, often a lifetime
• Adjacent teeth untouched, no grinding, no alteration, no dependency

Implants cost more upfront than bridges or dentures. The permanence is the reason.

Who Can Get Dental Implants and What Does the Process Look Like?

Most adults with a missing tooth and reasonably healthy gums are candidates fordental implants. The assessment and CBCT scan determines this, not a general assumption made before examining the patient.

Good candidates have:

• Healthy gums with no active infection or gum disease
• Adequate bone volume at the implant site
• Controlled general health, diabetes that is well-managed

Two groups who are generally not suitable:

• Teenagers, because the jaw is still growing until the late teens
• And heavy smokers, who face a significantly higher implant failure rate because smoking reduces blood supply to the gum and bone tissue needed for healing.

The process at a dental clinic near me Faridabad:

1. Assessment and CBCT scan : 3D imaging shows bone volume, nerve positions, and sinus proximity.
2. Implant placement : A minor surgical procedure under local anaesthesia. The post is placed into the jawbone.
3. Osseointegration : 3 to 6 months for the bone to integrate with the titanium. A temporary restoration is often worn during this period.
4. Abutment and Crown : Once integration is confirmed, the abutment is attached and the permanent crown is fitted.

Stop the Bone Loss Before It Gets Ahead of You. Book An Implant Consultation at IVIA Dental.

The gap left by a missing tooth isn’t just cosmetic. The jawbone underneath starts changing within months and the longer the root space is left empty, the more bone is lost and the more involved the eventual treatment becomes.

One consultation at IVIA Dental covers dental implants: types, purpose and benefits specific to your case, bone volume, suitable implant type, expected timeline, and full cost before anything is agreed or started.

Dr. Shruti Khatana and the team of MAMC, AIIMS, and PGIDS alumni have handled implant cases across Faridabad and NCR. Patients come in with a gap and leave with a plan specific to their bone structure, gum health, and timeline. Call +91 9350130755 to book an appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do Dental Implants Last?

20 years or more with normal care, often a lifetime. The implant post rarely fails. The crown may need replacing after 15 to 20 years depending on wear.

Is the Implant Procedure Painful?

No pain during placement done under local anaesthesia. Soreness for 2 to 4 days after is normal. Most patients return to work the next day.

How Long Does the Full Process Take?

4 to 9 months from assessment to final crown. Most of that is the osseointegration phase 3 to 6 months for bone to integrate with the titanium.

Can I Get an Implant if I Have Some Bone Loss?

Minor loss is often manageable. Significant loss may need a bone graft first. The CBCT scan at assessment shows exactly what’s available and what’s needed.

Are Dental Implants Better Than Bridges?

For most patients, yes. Bridges don’t prevent bone loss, require altering adjacent teeth, and need replacing after 10 to 15 years. Implants do none of these.
