Dental Implants in Mettupalayam
Replace missing teeth with fixed, natural-looking implants placed by Dr. R. Aravinth Karthikeyan, a dental surgeon and implantologist treating patients in Mettupalayam since 2002.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone where a tooth is missing. Once the bone bonds with it, the implant works like a tooth root and holds a crown, a bridge or a full set of teeth. Unlike a removable denture, an implant does not move when you eat or talk, and unlike a bridge it does not need the neighbouring teeth to be cut.
At Shree Lalithaa Dental Care we plan every implant with an in-clinic digital X-ray, so the size, angle and position of the implant suit your bone and your bite.
Implant options we offer
Single tooth implants replace one missing tooth without touching the teeth beside it. Immediate implants can, in suitable cases, be placed on the same day a damaged tooth is removed, which saves a separate surgery and shortens the time you are without a tooth. Full-mouth implants restore an entire arch on a few implants with a fixed set of teeth. Implant-supported dentures clip a denture onto implants so it stays firm while you chew.
Who is a good candidate?
Most adults with good general health can have implants. Smokers, people with uncontrolled diabetes and those with thin jawbone need extra planning. Because diabetologist consultations are available at our clinic by appointment, diabetic patients in Mettupalayam can have their sugar levels reviewed before implant surgery under one roof.
Benefits
Chew, smile and speak with confidence; nothing to take out at night.
An implant stimulates the bone and helps prevent the sunken look of missing teeth.
Neighbouring teeth stay untouched, unlike a conventional bridge.
With good care and regular check-ups implants can serve for many years.
What to expect
Consultation & X-ray
Examination, digital X-ray and a clear treatment plan with cost.
Implant placement
A gentle procedure under local anaesthesia, usually in one sitting.
Healing
The bone bonds with the implant over a few weeks; a temporary tooth can be given.
Final crown
A custom ceramic or zirconia crown is fixed on the implant.
Questions patients ask
Is getting a dental implant painful?
The procedure is done under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness for two or three days is common and is managed with simple medicines.
How long does the implant treatment take?
A single implant usually takes two visits for placement and a final visit for the crown after healing. Immediate implants can shorten this. Dr. Aravinth will give you a timeline after your X-ray.
What does a dental implant cost in Mettupalayam?
The cost depends on the number of implants, the implant system and the crown material. You get a written estimate at your consultation. Message us on WhatsApp to book one.
Can diabetic patients get implants?
Yes, if blood sugar is well controlled. Our clinic offers diabetologist consultations by appointment to help plan safe implant treatment.
Every patient is different. Dr. Aravinth will confirm the right treatment, number of visits and cost after examining you.
