Two implantologists · Guided digital planning · Two clinics in Coimbatore
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up — a titanium root placed in your jawbone, with a crown on top that looks, feels and chews like your own tooth. It is the only replacement that keeps your jawbone alive under the gap, your neighbouring teeth untouched, and your bite working on both sides. Whether you're missing one tooth, several, or a full arch, an implant-based solution almost certainly exists for you — including for patients who've been told elsewhere that they lack the bone for it. At Arasu Dental Care, implants are placed by a two-implantologist team, and long-term research backs the treatment: a systematic review of 18 studies puts ten-year implant survival at around 96%.

Replace A Missing Tooth

Right For You?
Implants suit most adults with one or more missing teeth — whether the tooth was lost last month or twenty years ago. What we confirm before recommending one:
Age alone is almost never the issue — we place implants for patients in their 70s and beyond. If an implant is genuinely not your right option, we say so and show you the alternatives on our restorative dentistry page, where implants, bridges and dentures are compared side by side.
Your Options
You don't need one implant per missing tooth. The right solution depends on how much is missing and the state of your bone — here's how the routes map to real situations.
| Your situation | The solution | What it involves |
|---|---|---|
| One missing tooth | Single implant + crown | One titanium root, one crown; neighbours untouched |
| Several missing teeth in a row | Implant-supported bridge | Two implants carry 3–4 teeth — no implant needed per tooth |
| A full arch (upper or lower) | All-on-Four rehabilitation | Four strategically angled implants support a full fixed arch |
| Told you lack bone for implants | Basal implants / bone grafting | Anchoring in denser basal bone, or rebuilding lost bone first |
| Loose, hopeless remaining teeth | Full-mouth rehabilitation | Staged extraction + implant plan, fixed teeth at the end |
The Process
Four stages from first scan to a tooth you can chew with — most of the timeline is the bone quietly doing its work.
A 3D scan measures your bone height, width and density, and maps the nerves and sinuses. From it we plan the implant position, confirm whether grafting is needed, and give you a written staged quote.
The implant is placed under local anaesthesia — most single implants take under an hour, and patients are routinely surprised how uneventful it feels. Sedation options are available for anxious patients or longer full-arch procedures.
The bone fuses to the titanium. This wait is what gives implants their strength; a temporary tooth keeps the gap covered where appearance matters. In suitable full-arch cases, a fixed provisional set can be attached much sooner.
Once fused, your final crown, bridge or arch is fitted and your bite fine-tuned. Then it's yours: brush it, floss it, chew with it.
Honest Considerations
From placement to final crown typically runs 3–6 months, longer if grafting comes first. Anyone promising every case a fixed tooth in days is selecting their cases carefully.
Peri-implantitis — gum infection around an implant — is the main long-term threat, and daily hygiene plus regular check-ups are what prevent it. An implant is not an excuse to stop flossing; it's a reason to keep going.
It slows bone healing and is one of the strongest predictors of implant failure. We will still treat you — but we will also tell you plainly what it costs your odds.
The titanium root can serve for decades; the crown on top may need replacing after 10–15 years of chewing. Results vary with your bite, your hygiene and your health.
Cost
Implant pricing depends on how many teeth you're replacing, the implant system used, whether grafting or a sinus lift is needed first, and the type of final prosthesis. Our typical figures:
| Treatment | Typical range at Arasu | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single tooth implant | From ₹35,000 | Implant + crown; Coimbatore market runs ₹18,000–₹60,000 |
| Full-mouth (implant-supported) | Up to ₹3,00,000 | Coimbatore average ₹1.3L–₹2.9L |
| All-on-4 (per arch) | ₹1.3L – ₹2.4L | Four implants + fixed arch |
| All-on-6 (per arch) | ₹1.8L – ₹3.0L | Six implants + fixed arch |
| Bone grafting / sinus lift | Quoted case by case | Case-dependent add-on; confirmed after your scan |
Fees are confirmed at consultation and vary by individual case. Ranges shown are typical and subject to change. *Ten-year implant survival ~96% is drawn from a systematic review and meta-analysis of 18 prospective studies; individual results vary with bone health, general health and hygiene.
Get Started
One scan answers the questions that matter: whether you have the bone, which solution fits, how long it will take, and exactly what it will cost — the real figure, staged, in writing, with nothing appearing later.

Our Implantologists
The person placing your implant and the person designing the teeth it carries work as one team — often they're the same person. Your final teeth are planned for bite, speech and appearance, not just screwed onto wherever the implant ended up.

12+ years including four years of international practice; All-on-Four, basal implantology and Osseodensification in his listed expertise.

Single implant done here — they showed me the scan, explained the plan and the full cost before starting. No surprise "extras" later.
Full-arch All-on-4 for my upper jaw. Dr. Ashwin and the team were thorough and reassuring through every stage.
Was told elsewhere I didn't have enough bone. Here a scan showed basal implants were possible — genuinely grateful.
The placement itself was easier than the extraction. Clear staged quote and EMI made it manageable.

FAQs
At Arasu, a single implant starts from ₹35,000 including the crown; full-arch solutions like All-on-4 run ₹1.3–2.4 lakh per arch. Your exact figure is confirmed after a scan and quoted in writing, staged, with EMI available.
Placement is done under local anaesthesia, so you feel pressure, not pain — most patients find it easier than the extraction that preceded it. Expect some tenderness and swelling for a few days afterwards, managed with ordinary pain relief. Sedation options are available for anxious patients.
Research across 18 long-term studies puts ten-year implant survival at around 96%, and many implants serve for decades. The crown on top may need replacement after 10–15 years of wear. Your hygiene, bite and general health all influence the result, which varies from person to person.
Typically 3–6 months from placement to final crown, because the bone must fuse to the implant. Grafting, if needed, adds time. In suitable full-arch cases a fixed provisional set can be attached much sooner — we confirm from your scan whether that applies to you.
Usually yes, if it's well controlled — we plan around it and monitor healing closely. Uncontrolled diabetes lowers success rates, so we may ask for it to be brought under control first. Bring your recent readings to the consultation.
Very often, yes. Bone grafting can rebuild lost bone, sinus lifts create room in the upper jaw, and basal implants anchor in denser bone that standard implants don't use — a specific expertise here. A scan tells us which route is realistic for you.
Yes — All-on-Four supports a full fixed arch on four implants, All-on-6 on six. These are planned digitally and delivered by our prosthodontist-implantologist team. You do not need one implant per missing tooth.
An implant preserves the jawbone and leaves neighbouring teeth untouched; a bridge is faster and costs less upfront but requires trimming two healthy teeth and doesn't stop bone loss under the gap. For most single gaps with good bone, the implant is the stronger long-term answer — but we assess your case honestly, including when the bridge is the smarter choice.
