How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in India?

When we go for any treatment – major or minor – one of the primary concerns we have is the cost factor. In the era of increasingly shooting up healthcare cost, it is imperative that you prepare yourself financially more than mentally and physically before going for a surgery. This is the case with dental implant too and people who want to go for the best dental implants are concerned about the tooth implant cost in India or any other country for that matter. 

To the newbie, dental implants are known for providing a solid foundation for the permanent and removable prosthesis, which are developed to match the natural teeth. Prostheses are manufactured from biologically neutral pure titanium or titanium alloys. The best part about these is the fact that the human body accepts these and implants fuse with jawbone forming a secure foundation for tooth replacement. 

Dental implants are of different types. People can opt for conventional implants, immediate implants and immediate loaded implants. People can opt for the one based on their requirements, budget or depending on what the dentist has recommended for them according to their general dental condition. For dentists in India to make this recommendation, a panoramic x-ray and/or CT scan is usually required to precisely evaluate the amount of bone, determine the space available, as well as for thorough examination to diagnose the options that suit the best for each case.
