Implant & Restorative Dentistry
Missing or failing teeth don't have to mean a lifetime of compromise. At Smile+, every implant case is digitally planned and precisely placed by Dr. Yashasvi Patel — permanent, natural-feeling replacements that let you bite, chew and smile without a second thought.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it has fused with the bone — a natural process called osseointegration — a custom-crafted crown is fitted on top, matched precisely to the colour and shape of your surrounding teeth.
Unlike a bridge or denture, an implant doesn't rely on neighbouring teeth for support and doesn't shift or click while you eat or speak. It's the closest modern dentistry comes to replacing a missing tooth exactly as nature intended — stable, self-supporting and built to last for decades with proper care.
At Smile+, every implant case begins with a full digital scan, so you and Dr. Yashasvi Patel can see exactly where the implant will sit before any surgery begins.
Why Patients Choose Smile+
Intraoral scanning maps your bone and gum anatomy before surgery, so implant position and angle are planned with precision — not guesswork.
Local anaesthesia, gentle technique and laser-assisted options keep the procedure and recovery as comfortable as possible.
Every surgical instrument is autoclaved and sealed per patient — the same sterilization discipline you'd expect from a hospital OT.
Your implant surgeon is also your consulting dentist from day one — one clinician, one plan, no hand-offs between departments.
Our clinic's quality management processes are independently certified — consistent standards on every visit, not just the first one.
Final crowns are shade-matched and shaped chairside so your implant blends invisibly with the teeth around it.
The Process
A full digital scan and honest conversation about what's possible for your case — no obligation, no guesswork.
The titanium post is placed under local anaesthesia in a single, precisely guided sitting.
Over roughly 2-4 months, the implant fuses naturally with your jawbone — checked at scheduled follow-ups.
A shade-matched crown is fitted on top, completing a restoration that looks and functions like a natural tooth.
Is It Right for You?
Every case is different — conditions like diabetes, smoking and bone density are reviewed individually at your consultation, not ruled out by default.
Cost & Transparency
A single tooth implant costs less than multiple implants or a full-arch case.
Titanium implant systems vary in brand and grade, which affects long-term pricing.
If jawbone density is low, a grafting procedure may be needed before placement.
Zirconia, PFM and all-ceramic crowns sit at different price points and aesthetics.
Common Questions
Implant placement is performed under local anaesthesia, so the procedure itself is not painful. Mild soreness and swelling for a few days afterward is normal and manageable with prescribed medication — most patients describe it as far more comfortable than they expected.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, a dental implant can last 15-25 years or longer — the titanium post itself is designed to be a lifetime fixture, while the crown on top may need replacement after many years of normal wear.
A typical implant case involves a consultation and 3D scan, a placement appointment, a healing period of roughly 2-4 months, and a final visit to fit your custom crown. Dr. Yashasvi Patel maps out your exact timeline at your first consultation.
Often yes, once the condition is well-managed — diabetes and bone density are evaluated case by case during your consultation, and in some situations a bone grafting procedure can be planned first to create a stable foundation for the implant.
