Dental Implants in Konanakunte
off Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru
Losing a tooth can affect more than just your smile. It can change the way you chew, speak, and feel about your appearance. In some patients, missing teeth also disturb the bite and place extra pressure on the remaining teeth.
At Prisma Dental, we use dental implants to replace missing teeth in a way that is stable, functional, and close to natural teeth. Every implant case is planned carefully after understanding the patient's bone condition, gum health, bite, medical history, and long-term needs.
Our clinic in Konanakunte, off Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru, provides dental implant treatment for single missing teeth, multiple missing teeth, and full-mouth rehabilitation cases.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium fixture that is placed inside the jawbone to act like the root of a missing tooth. After healing, a crown, bridge, or denture can be attached to the implant.
In simple words, the implant supports the artificial tooth from inside the bone, instead of taking support from neighbouring teeth.
This makes dental implants a good option for many patients who want a fixed tooth replacement.
Who may need dental implants?
Dental implants may be suitable for patients who have:
- One missing tooth
- Multiple missing teeth
- Loose or uncomfortable dentures
- Broken teeth that cannot be saved
- Teeth lost due to gum disease
- Difficulty chewing because of missing teeth
- Old bridges that need replacement
- Full-mouth tooth loss requiring rehabilitation
Not every patient can receive an implant immediately. The gums, bone, bite, and medical condition must be evaluated first. In some cases, additional procedures like bone grafting or sinus lift may be needed before placing implants.
Our approach to implant dentistry
At Prisma Dental, implant treatment is not done as a shortcut procedure. We believe that a successful implant begins with proper planning.
Before suggesting implants, we assess:
- The number of missing teeth
- Bone height and width
- Gum condition
- Bite forces
- Oral hygiene status
- Smoking or tobacco history
- Diabetes and other medical conditions
- Existing infection or gum disease
- Long-term maintenance ability
Only after this evaluation do we discuss the treatment options with the patient. Our aim is not just to place an implant, but to create a tooth replacement that is stable, comfortable, cleanable, and suitable for the patient's mouth.
Types of implant treatments we provide
Single Tooth Implant
A single dental implant can replace one missing tooth without cutting the neighbouring teeth for a bridge. Once healed, a crown is placed over the implant. This is commonly used when one front or back tooth is missing.
Multiple Teeth Implants
When more than one tooth is missing, implants can be used to support fixed teeth. Depending on the case, one implant may not be needed for every missing tooth. The planning depends on the number of teeth missing, bone support, and bite forces.
Full-Mouth Implant Rehabilitation
For patients who have lost most or all teeth, implants can be used to support a fixed or removable full-mouth prosthesis. These cases require detailed planning because the bite, smile line, chewing pattern, bone support, and facial appearance all have to be considered together.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Some patients who struggle with loose dentures may benefit from implant-supported dentures. These are more stable than regular dentures and can improve chewing comfort.
Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift
In some patients, the jawbone may not be sufficient to hold an implant. This can happen when teeth have been missing for a long time or because of gum disease. In suitable cases, bone grafting or sinus lift procedures may be recommended to improve the foundation before implant placement.
At Prisma Dental, full-mouth rehabilitation is planned carefully so that function and comfort are given as much importance as appearance.
Why choose Prisma Dental for dental implants?
Dental implant treatment requires more than placing a screw in bone. It needs knowledge of gums, bone, bite, surgery, prosthetics, and long-term maintenance.
At Prisma Dental, implant cases are led by experienced specialists with a strong background in periodontics, gum surgery, implant dentistry, and full-mouth rehabilitation.
Both Dr Praveen Jayaram and Dr Sushma Das are certified implantologists. Dr Sushma Das holds a Fellowship from International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI). Over 20 years of placing implants as well as guiding students in implant placement make both doctors experts in the field of dental implants.
Patients choose us for:
- Specialist-led implant planning
- Focus on gum and bone health before implant placement
- Careful evaluation before treatment
- Experience in single, multiple, and full-mouth implant cases
- Emphasis on long-term function, not just appearance
- Clear explanation of treatment options
- Follow-up and maintenance guidance after implant placement
We prefer to explain the condition honestly and suggest treatment only when it is suitable for the patient.
How the implant treatment process works
Consultation & Examination
We first examine the mouth, missing teeth area, gums, bite, and overall oral health. We also understand the patient's expectations and medical history.
X-ray or Scan Evaluation
An X-ray or scan may be advised to assess bone condition and nearby structures. This helps in planning the position and size of the implant.
Treatment Planning
We explain whether an implant is suitable, whether bone grafting is needed, how many visits may be required, and what kind of final tooth replacement can be planned.
Implant Placement
The implant is placed in the jawbone under local anaesthesia. The procedure is planned to be as comfortable as possible.
Healing Period
The implant is allowed to heal and integrate with the bone. The healing time varies from patient to patient.
Final Crown, Bridge, or Prosthesis
Once the implant is ready, the final tooth is attached. We check the bite, comfort, and appearance before completion.
Maintenance
Implants need regular cleaning and follow-up. Good oral hygiene and periodic dental visits are important for long-term success.
Are dental implants painful?
Most implant procedures are done under local anaesthesia. Patients usually feel pressure or vibration during the procedure, but not sharp pain. Mild discomfort, swelling, or soreness can occur after the procedure and is usually managed with medicines and instructions.
Every patient's experience is different, and we explain the expected recovery before treatment.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants can last for many years when they are properly planned, placed, restored, and maintained. Their long-term success depends on gum health, bone support, oral hygiene, bite forces, medical conditions, and regular follow-up.
Just like natural teeth, implants also need care.
Dental implants & gum health
Gum health is very important for implant success. If a patient has active gum disease, bleeding gums, loose teeth, or poor oral hygiene, these must be addressed before or along with implant treatment.
Since Prisma Dental has a strong focus on gum care and periodontics, we give special attention to the health of the tissues around the implant.
A healthy foundation is important for a stable result.
