Restorative Dentistry in Coimbatore

No — and knowing the difference is the skill. A tooth with a sound root and enough structure can usually be rebuilt with a filling, root canal or crown. A tooth that is fractured below the gum line, or too decayed to hold a restoration, is better replaced. We tell you the prognosis honestly before treating.

The gap does quiet damage over time: neighbouring teeth drift and tilt into it, the opposing tooth over-erupts, chewing shifts and strains other teeth, and the jawbone under the gap shrinks — which can make replacement harder later. Replacing sooner is almost always simpler than replacing later.

With good hygiene and regular check-ups: research suggests over 90% of implants are still in function at 10 years; bridges commonly last 7–15 years; crowns similar; dentures usually need relining or remaking every 5–8 years. Results vary with your care and your bite.

Treatment is performed under appropriate local anaesthesia, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Some tenderness for a few days after surgical procedures like implant placement is normal and manageable.

At Arasu, a single implant starts from ₹35,000 including the crown, with the exact figure confirmed after a scan. Bridges and dentures cost less upfront. Every option is quoted in writing with EMI available — see the cost guide.

It depends on the site and your bone. Sometimes an implant can be placed at or soon after extraction; more often we allow 2–3 months of healing first. Bridges and dentures typically wait 4–8 weeks for the gum to settle. Your written plan includes the timing.

Not necessarily. Bone grafting can rebuild lost bone, and basal implants — a specific expertise of our prosthodontic team — anchor in denser bone that ordinary implants don't use. Whether either suits you is established from a scan, not assumed.
