Top Questions Our Implant Patients Ask (and Our Honest Answers)
Dental implants are one of the most reliable and long-lasting solutions for missing teeth — but they also come with a lot of questions. At Advanced Dental Care Center, Chandigarh, Dr. Anshu Gupta has placed over 10,000 implants in the last 25+ years, and one thing we know for sure: informed patients make confident decisions.
Here are the top questions our implant patients ask — along with our honest, expert answers.
1. Are dental implants painful?
Honest Answer:
No — not during the procedure. Dental implants are placed under local anesthesia, and most patients report minimal discomfort. At our clinic, we also offer painless and digitally guided implant procedures for extra precision and comfort. Some mild soreness afterward is normal and can be managed easily with painkillers.
2. How long do dental implants last?
Honest Answer:
Dental implants can last 15 to 25+ years, or even a lifetime with proper care. The implant itself is made of biocompatible titanium, which fuses with your jawbone. The crown may need replacement after 10–15 years due to wear — just like natural teeth.
3. Am I too old for implants?
Honest Answer:
No! Age is not a barrier. We’ve placed implants for patients in their 70s and even 80s. What matters most is your overall health and bone condition, not your age.
4. How much do dental implants cost in Chandigarh?
Honest Answer:
It depends on your case, but here’s a general idea:
• Single implant with crown: ₹35,000 – ₹70,000
• Full mouth implants (All-on-4/6): ₹2.5 – ₹6 lakhs
At Advanced Dental Care Center, we believe in transparent pricing with no hidden charges. We also offer EMI plans and special NRI packages.
5. Are implants better than bridges or dentures?
Honest Answer:
Yes — for most people.
• Implants are fixed, natural-looking, preserve bone, and don’t harm other teeth.
• Bridges may require grinding adjacent teeth.
• Dentures can slip, affect speech, and cause jawbone loss.
Implants offer the best long-term value and comfort.
6. How long does the entire process take?
Honest Answer:
In many cases, implants can now be placed and restored within 72 hours using immediate loading techniques.
Traditional cases may take 3–6 months depending on healing, bone condition, or if bone grafting is needed.
7. Do implants ever fail?
Honest Answer:
Rarely — but yes, failures can occur in 2–5% of cases. Common causes include poor oral hygiene, smoking, or underlying health issues. That’s why we thoroughly assess your case and use only top-quality implant systems.
8. Are dental implants safe?
Honest Answer:
Absolutely. Implants are a globally accepted, well-researched treatment. At our clinic, Dr. Anshu Gupta, an internationally trained implantologist and PGIMER graduate [https://pgimer.edu.in], follows strict sterilization protocols, digital planning, and uses FDA-approved implant systems.
9. What is the success rate of implants at your clinic?
Honest Answer:
Our success rate is over 98%, thanks to advanced techniques, careful planning, and experience. More than 10,000 implants have been successfully placed at our center.
10. How can I start the process?
Honest Answer:
It’s simple!
1. Book a consultation or send us your dental X-rays online.
2. We assess your case and create a customized treatment plan.
3. You get a detailed cost estimate and can begin treatment when ready.
