Frequently Asked Questions
Are cheaper implants safe?
Price varies based on implant brand and materials. Established Indian and international brands are both safe when placed by a trained implantologist. Very low quotes may indicate compromise on materials or expertise.
Does insurance cover dental implants in India?
Most standard health insurance policies in India do not cover dental implants. Some dental insurance plans provide partial coverage. Check your policy details.
How many visits are needed for implant treatment?
Typically 4 to 6 visits over 4 to 6 months — initial consultation, implant placement, follow-up during healing, abutment placement, and crown fitting.
