The closest thing to a natural tooth — permanent, strong, and beautiful.

A dental implant is the gold standard for replacing a missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, an implant replaces the root itself — giving you a restoration that looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth. At Dr. Harshi's Dental Clinic, we assess each patient carefully and work with specialist implantologists to deliver the best possible outcomes.

What exactly is a dental implant?

An implant is a small titanium screw placed into the jawbone where the tooth root used to be. Over a few months, the implant fuses with the bone (osseointegration) creating a stable anchor. A custom ceramic crown is then attached on top, completing the tooth replacement. The result is indistinguishable from the surrounding natural teeth.

Who is a good candidate for implants?

Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone density are good candidates. Factors like uncontrolled diabetes, heavy smoking, or insufficient bone volume may affect suitability. Dr. Harshi conducts a thorough assessment including X-rays before recommending implants, and will discuss all your options honestly.

How long does the implant process take?

The full process typically takes 3–6 months from placement to final crown. The implant is placed first and given time to integrate with the bone. Once stable, the abutment and crown are fitted. While this takes longer than other tooth replacement options, the result is far more durable and natural-feeling.

How do implants compare to bridges and dentures?

Unlike bridges, implants do not require grinding down the adjacent teeth. Unlike dentures, implants are fixed permanently and prevent jawbone loss. They are cleaned just like natural teeth — no soaking, no adhesives. With good care, implants can last a lifetime, making them the most cost-effective long-term solution.
