Dental Implants in Mumbai, India :
Fixed Solution for Missing Teeth Replacement

Step-by-Step Process of Getting a Dental Implant in Mumbai

If you are considering dental implants in Mumbai, it is important to understand that this is a multi-stage surgical procedure — and one that, when performed correctly by an experienced implantologist like Dr. Varun Malhotra, delivers permanent, life-changing results. Here is exactly what to expect at each stage:

Step 1: Consultation, X-Rays & CBCT Scan Planning

Your journey begins with a thorough clinical consultation with Dr. Varun Malhotra, Mumbai's award-winning Dental Implant Specialist.
During this visit, digital X-rays and a 3D CBCT scan are taken to precisely assess your jawbone density, volume, and anatomy.
This allows Dr. Varun to determine the optimal implant position, size, and type — and to create a fully personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.


 Why this Consultation for Dental Implants with our Experts matters for you :


- Accurate 3D planning : This is what separates a predictable, long-lasting implant from one that fails. No implant surgery is performed without complete diagnostic imaging by Dr Varun Malhotra.
- Goal alignment : This consultation session also allows us to design a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your style and goals.




Step 2: Dental Implant Surgery

Once your treatment plan is finalised, the implant placement procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia for a comfortable, pain-free experience. Dr. Varun Malhotra makes precise incision in the gum to expose the jawbone, and the titanium implant fixture — essentially an artificial tooth root — is surgically placed into the bone at the pre-planned position.
The procedure is minimally invasive and most patients are surprised at how comfortable the experience is.
Post-operative discomfort is manageable with prescribed medication.


 What to Expect during the Dental Implant Surgery :


- Surgery performed Under Local Anaesthesia : You feel no pain during the procedurecan and can remain fully awake and relaxed throughout the procedure.
- Medical-grade titanium implant fixture : Placed directly into your jawbone — acting just like a natural tooth root. After integration, This forms a permanent, stable base on which your final crown will be fixed.
- Minimally Invasive with Easy Post-Op Recovery : The procedure is minimally invasive, and any post-operative discomfort is easily managed with prescribed medication.
- Swelling or soreness : if any, typically settles within a few days, allowing you to return to your routine quickly.




Step 3: Osseointegration — The Implant Fuses with Your Jawbone

This is the most critical phase of the entire dental implant process. Over a period of 3 to 6 months, your jawbone naturally grows around and fuses with the surface of the implant — a biological process called osseointegration. This is what gives dental implants their extraordinary strength and makes them the only tooth replacement option that actually stimulates and preserves the jawbone.
At PRAXIS, Dr. Varun Malhotra uses Nobel Biocare implant systems — one of the world's most clinically proven implant brands — to ensure the highest possible osseointegration success rates.


 What to Expect During the Integration Phase ? :


- What is Osseointegration and Why Does It Matter ? Osseointegration is the biological process where your natural jawbone slowly grows around and permanently fuses with the titanium implant — typically over 3 to 6 months.
- How Long Does Osseointegration Take ? The osseointegration phase takes between 3 to 6 months, depending on your bone density and overall healing response.
While this may seem lengthy, it is this very fusion process that gives your implant its stability — making the wait entirely worth it.
- Which implant brand has the highest success rate ? Dr. Varun Malhotra uses Nobel Biocare Implants — Clinically Proven for Maximum Success, one of the world's most trusted and extensively researched implant brands — to ensure the highest osseointegration success rates and long-term implant reliability.
- Periodic Monitoring : During this healing phase, you will be reviewed at regular intervals to monitor progress before proceeding to the next step.




Step 4: Abutment Placement

Once osseointegration is confirmed and the implant is fully stable, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the top of the implant. This extends just above the gum line and serves as the anchor for your new artificial tooth.
This is a minor procedure, typically completed quickly and comfortably under local anaesthesia.


 What to Expect During the Integration Phase ? :


- Abutment Placement, Minor Procedure : abutment placement is a minor, quick procedure performed comfortably under local anaesthesia. Most patients experience little to no discomfort, and the appointment is typically completed in a single short visit, bringing you one step closer to your final smile.




Step 5: Custom Crown, Bridge or Prosthesis Placement — Your New Tooth

With the abutment in place and the gum healed around it, precise impressions or digital scans of your mouth are taken. These are used to fabricate your custom-made crown, bridge, or full-arch prosthesis — matched exactly to the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth so that the result looks completely natural.

The final restoration is then securely fixed onto the abutment, completing your dental implant treatment. The result is a fixed, permanent tooth that looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth — with no need for removal, adhesives, or special maintenance beyond normal brushing and flossing.


 Final Implant Prosthesis :


- Prseonalized : Final crown or prosthesis is individually crafted to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth in terms of colour, shape, and size.
- Maintenance : maintained simply with regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups, making it the most hassle-free long-term tooth replacement option available.
- Permanently Fixed : maintained simply with regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups, making it the most hassle-free long-term tooth replacement option availableUnlike dentures, your implant-supported crown or bridge is permanently fixed and requires no removal, adhesives, or special cleaning solutions. It functions just like a natural tooth.
