Dental implants in Kakinada
A fixed, long-term way to replace a missing tooth, including removing a failing tooth and placing an implant.
What it is
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth with a small titanium post that acts as an artificial root, set into the jawbone. Once it has healed, a crown is fixed on top, giving you a replacement tooth that is stable and looks and works like a natural one.
Implants are a good option when you have lost a tooth, or when a tooth is beyond saving and needs to come out. Where suitable, a failing tooth can be removed and an implant placed in the same course of treatment. Care is led by a prosthodontist and implantologist, the field that specialises in this kind of tooth replacement.
What to expect at a visit
- An assessment of the gap, the neighbouring teeth and the bone that will support the implant.
- If a damaged tooth is still in place, it may be removed first; in some cases an implant can be placed at the same time.
- The implant post is placed, then left to fuse with the bone over the following months, this healing is what makes an implant stable.
- Once healed, a custom crown is fitted on top to complete the tooth.
How many visits
Implant treatment is spread over more than one visit, because the implant needs time to fuse with the bone before the final crown is fitted. The exact timeline depends on your healing and is discussed at the assessment.

Common questions
How long does implant treatment take overall?
It is not a single-visit treatment. After the implant is placed it needs several months to fuse with the bone before the final crown goes on. The dentist will give you a timeline for your case at the assessment.
Can a tooth be removed and an implant placed together?
In some cases, yes, a tooth can be taken out and an implant placed as part of the same treatment. Whether that suits you depends on the tooth and the bone around it.
Is an implant better than a bridge or denture?
Each has a role. An implant replaces a single tooth without involving the neighbouring teeth, but it is not right for everyone. The dentist will talk you through the options for your situation.
