About Dental Implants at THANC

Dental implants replace missing teeth with long-lasting titanium roots that are placed into the jawbone and restored with natural-looking crowns or bridges. At THANC Hospital, our oral and maxillofacial surgery team plans every implant case on a 3D CBCT scan so the implant is placed in the ideal position, depth and angle. We treat single missing teeth, multiple missing teeth, full-arch replacements and complex cases involving bone grafting and sinus lift. The goal is strong, stable, natural-looking teeth that function and feel like your own.

Who Needs Dental Implants?

You may be a candidate if you experience any of the following:

  • One or more missing teeth that need a permanent, natural-looking replacement
  • A failing or broken tooth that cannot be saved
  • Dentures or bridges that feel loose, uncomfortable or unstable
  • Full-arch tooth loss needing fixed replacement (All-on-4 / All-on-6 style concepts)
  • Missing teeth with bone loss needing bone grafting or sinus lift alongside implants
  • Complex cases where implants need to be planned alongside jaw or facial surgery

What to Expect

A clear step-by-step view of your treatment journey at THANC.

  1. 1

    Consultation & 3D Planning

    A detailed dental and medical history, full-mouth examination and a 3D CBCT scan of the jaw. Our team evaluates bone volume, gum health and bite, then plans the implant position digitally to confirm the best fit and long-term outcome.

  2. 2

    Implant Placement

    Most implant placements are done under local anaesthesia with sedation as needed. The implant — a small titanium root — is placed into the jawbone through a precise, minimally invasive technique. Where the bone is thin, bone grafting or sinus lift may be performed in the same sitting.

  3. 3

    Healing & Osseointegration

    Over the next 2 to 4 months, the implant fuses with the jawbone — a process called osseointegration — creating a strong, stable foundation. During this time, temporary teeth are provided where needed so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence.

  4. 4

    Final Crown or Prosthesis

    Once osseointegration is confirmed, the final crown, bridge or full-arch prosthesis is placed on the implant. The result is a natural-looking, well-fitting tooth that functions like your own. Long-term reviews protect the result and maintain oral health.

Why Patients Choose THANC for Dental Implants

Dental implants at THANC are planned and placed by our senior oral and maxillofacial surgery team — not a general dental clinic. Every case starts on a 3D CBCT scan, not a 2D dental X-ray, so the implant is placed exactly where the bone can hold it. That difference matters most in complex cases with bone loss, full-arch replacements, or previous failed implants.

  • Planned and placed by the senior oral & maxillofacial surgery team
  • In-house 3D CBCT planning for every implant case
  • Bone grafting and sinus lift performed under one roof
  • Full-arch (All-on-4 / All-on-6 style) cases handled in-house
  • Temporary teeth during healing so you eat and speak normally
  • Written estimate after CBCT review — no hidden add-ons

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the full dental implant process take?
For straightforward single-tooth cases, the surgical appointment itself is short. The implant then needs 2 to 4 months to fuse with the jawbone before the final crown is placed. Complex cases that need bone grafting or sinus lift take longer. Your surgeon will give you a personalised timeline after the 3D planning.
Are dental implants painful?
Implant placement is usually done under local anaesthesia with sedation where needed, so there is no pain during the procedure. Patients typically describe mild soreness afterwards — similar to a tooth extraction — which is well controlled with oral painkillers for a day or two.
Can I have implants if I have lost bone in my jaw?
Yes, in many cases. Our oral and maxillofacial surgery team is experienced in bone grafting, sinus lift and advanced implant techniques that can rebuild bone and place implants even in challenging jaws. Your CBCT scan helps us plan the exact technique before treatment begins.
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups and a healthy lifestyle, dental implants are designed to be a long-term, often lifelong, solution. The implant itself is a strong titanium root, while the crown on top may need maintenance or replacement over many years.
Will THANC provide a personalised estimate for my dental implant treatment?
Yes. After your consultation and 3D CBCT review, our team prepares a written, case-specific estimate based on the number of implants, whether bone grafting or sinus lift is needed and the type of final prosthesis. THANC's rates are consistently lower than prevailing market rates in Chennai while delivering world-class care.
Are dental implants at THANC placed by a dental surgeon or an oral & maxillofacial surgeon?
At THANC, dental implants are planned and placed by our senior oral and maxillofacial surgery team, which handles the full range of cases from single-tooth implants to complex full-arch reconstructions, bone grafting and sinus lift. This makes THANC particularly suited for difficult and high-demand implant cases.
