What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It is placed into the jawbone, where it bonds naturally with the bone over time. Once it has settled, a custom-made crown is fixed on top — giving you a tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like the real thing.
A complete implant has three parts:
The implant (root)
A titanium screw placed in the jawbone
The abutment
A small connector that links the implant to the crown
The crown
The visible tooth on top, matched to the colour of your natural teeth
Why Choose a Dental Implant Over a Denture or Bridge?
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. Here is why:
Built to last a lifetime
With proper care and regular check-ups, implants are designed to stay with you for decades
Looks and feels natural
No one will know it is not your original tooth
Preserves jaw health
The titanium root prevents bone loss that typically follows a missing tooth
No food restrictions
Eat what you want without worry
Protects neighbouring teeth
No need to grind down adjacent teeth (unlike a bridge)
Easy to maintain
Brush and floss just as you would with natural teeth
Are You a Suitable Candidate?
Dental implants work well for most healthy adults. You are likely a good candidate if you:
Have one or more missing teeth
Have a healthy jawbone with enough density to hold the implant
Have healthy gums
Do not smoke heavily (smoking can slow healing)
Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes or certain medications may affect eligibility. Dr. Jay Khatri will evaluate your teeth, gums, and jaw with digital X-rays to confirm whether implants are right for you.
The Dental Implant Procedure at Wonder Smile
Getting a dental implant is a step-by-step process done over a few months. Here is what to expect:
Consultation & Scan
Dr. Khatri examines your mouth and takes X-rays to plan treatment precisely
Implant Placement
The titanium screw is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia
Healing Period
The implant fuses with your bone over 2–4 months (this is called osseointegration)
Abutment Fitting
A small connector is attached to the implant
Crown Placement
Your custom, natural-looking crown is fixed on top
Most patients are comfortable throughout and return to normal activity quickly.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Quick answers to the questions patients ask us most about dental implants. Have another question? Browse our full dental FAQs.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, implants can last 20–25 years or more. The titanium root is designed to be a long-term fixture in your jaw.
Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during placement. Some mild soreness and swelling may occur for a day or two afterwards, which is easily managed with standard pain relief.
How much do dental implants cost in Pune?
The cost depends on the number of implants, the type of crown, and whether any bone grafting is needed. Book a consultation at Wonder Smile for a transparent, personalised cost estimate with no hidden charges.
How long does the full implant treatment take?
From the first appointment to the final crown, treatment typically takes 3–6 months. The healing phase (osseointegration) takes the most time, as the implant must fuse securely with the jawbone.
Can I get an implant if I have had a tooth missing for years?
Possibly, but a long-term missing tooth can lead to bone loss in the jaw. Dr. Khatri will assess your bone density and may recommend a bone graft before placing the implant if needed.
