What to Expect Before, During, and After Dental Implant Surgery in India

Planning to get dental implants in India? Whether you’re local or flying in from the UK, USA, Canada, or UAE, understanding the full process can ease your nerves and help you prepare.

At Advanced Dental Care Center, Chandigarh, led by expert implantologist Dr. Anshu Gupta (MDS, PGIMER Chandigarh), we’ve placed over 10,000 dental implants for both Indian and international patients. Our goal is to ensure every patient feels confident, informed, and comfortable at every step.

Here’s a clear breakdown of what to expect before, during, and after dental implant surgery in India.

🦷 Before Dental Implant Surgery – Planning Is Everything

✅ 1. Consultation & Examination

Your implant journey begins with a thorough evaluation:

• 3D CBCT scan to assess bone quality

• Digital X-rays, photos, and clinical examination

• Discussion of medical history, lifestyle, and goals

✅ 2. Personalized Treatment Plan

Dr. Anshu Gupta will create a customized plan based on your needs:

• Single tooth, multiple implants, or full mouth

• Immediate implants or staged approach

• Type of implant system (Straumann, Nobel Biocare, etc.)

You’ll receive transparent cost details, estimated timelines, and all your questions answered.

✅ 3. Pre-Surgical Preparation

• Blood tests, if needed

• Antibiotic prescription (to prevent infection)

• Fasting instructions (if sedation is used)

• Detailed instructions from our care team

For NRI/international patients: Video consultations and travel planning assistance are offered in advance.

🦷 During the Surgery – Painless & Precise

✅ 1. Anesthesia

The area is numbed using local anesthesia. If you’re nervous, conscious sedation is also available for added relaxation.

✅ 2. Guided Implant Placement

Using 3D-printed surgical guides, Dr. Anshu places the implant with millimeter-level accuracy — reducing trauma and improving results.

• Surgery usually takes 30–60 minutes per implant

• In most cases, no stitches are needed

• You may receive temporary teeth the same day or within 72 hours (immediate loading)

✅ 3. Post-Surgery Instructions

Once done, you’ll receive:

• Ice packs for minor swelling

• Painkillers and antibiotics

• Soft food guidelines

• A follow-up schedule

Most patients report minimal discomfort, especially compared to what they expect.

🦷 After the Surgery – Healing & Final Smile

✅ 1. Healing Phase (Osseointegration)

Your jawbone fuses with the implant over 3 to 6 months. During this time:

• You’ll wear temporary crowns or bridges

• Maintain good oral hygiene

• Avoid hard/chewy foods temporarily

• Attend follow-ups, especially if you’re flying back abroad

✅ 2. Final Crown Placement

Once healing is complete, we take impressions for your permanent ceramic or zirconia crown/bridge:

• Designed digitally to match your smile

• Fixed securely to the implant

• Feels and functions like natural teeth
