What Is Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that replaces the root of a missing tooth by fusing with the jawbone, with a crown fitted on top. It replaces a single tooth without touching the healthy teeth on either side, and remains the closest available option to a natural tooth for function, feel, and longevity. Implants are planned on digital X-rays or a CBCT scan before any surgery so the position, angle, and depth are known in advance.
When to Consider
Signs You Might Need This Treatment
- ✦A single missing tooth after extraction or an accident
- ✦A gap that is starting to affect how the neighbouring teeth line up
- ✦A denture or bridge that is no longer comfortable
- ✦A tooth that cannot be saved with a root canal or crown
- ✦You do not want the healthy teeth on either side of a gap touched
- ✦You want a long-term replacement rather than a repeat repair
Expertise
Our Approach to Dental Implants at Millennium Smile Dental Clinic
Implant surgery at Millennium Smile Dental Clinic is planned by Dr. Manish Sonawane and done under proper surgical protocols in the clinic's own operatory. Every case begins with a digital X-ray and, where the anatomy requires it, a CBCT scan referred out and reviewed before surgery. The implant brand and size are chosen from what suits the specific site, not one default product used for every case. The implant is placed, given 3 to 6 months to integrate with the bone, and then restored with a crown that is planned to match the shade and shape of the neighbouring teeth. The 2006 founding of the clinic means many of the earliest implant cases here are now 15 years old and still in service, which is the honest test of good implant work.
Procedure
How the Procedure Works
- 1.
Consultation and imaging
A digital X-ray, and a CBCT scan where needed, confirms the bone available and the exact implant position.
- 2.
Written surgical plan
The implant size, brand, and any bone grafting requirement are decided before the surgery date is booked.
- 3.
Implant placement
Under local anaesthesia, the implant is placed into the jawbone in a controlled sitting. Most single-implant surgeries take 45 to 60 minutes.
- 4.
Healing and integration
The implant is given 3 to 6 months to fuse with the bone. A temporary crown or bridge can be arranged where appearance matters during this period.
- 5.
Crown fitting
Once the implant is integrated, an impression is taken and the permanent crown is fitted on top.
- 6.
Maintenance
Regular six-monthly check-ups keep the surrounding gum and bone healthy for the long term.

Suitability
Is Dental Implants Right for You?
Implants are right for patients missing one or more teeth who have enough bone height and healthy gums to support them. Where bone is limited, grafting can often build it back up. Uncontrolled diabetes and heavy smoking make integration less predictable and are discussed honestly before treatment.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants in Andheri West

Is implant surgery painful?
No, the surgery itself is done under local anaesthesia and is not painful. Mild soreness and swelling for a few days afterwards is normal and manageable with prescribed medication.
How long is the total treatment time?
From placement to final crown, the process takes 4 to 6 months for most patients, mainly to allow the implant to integrate with the bone.
Do I need a bone graft?
Only if the CBCT scan shows there is not enough bone height at the site. Where grafting is needed, it is planned and quoted before surgery is booked.
Are implants safe for older patients?
