Dental Implants in Bangalore: Cost, Procedure & What to Expect

Author : Tooth Priority | Published On : 14 May 2026

If you’ve lost a tooth — whether from injury, decay, or gum disease — you’ve probably heard about dental implants. But between the procedure details, the cost, and the recovery, it can be hard to know where to start.

This article covers everything a patient in Bangalore actually needs to know before booking an implant consultation: what the procedure involves, how much it typically costs, and what to look for in a specialist.

At Tooth Priority, the implant clinic in Gubbalala, implants are handled exclusively by Dr. Shivaprasad BM — an internationally certified implantologist with 26 years of experience and training from Vienna and the ICOI (USA). Here’s what the process looks like from start to finish.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration, which typically takes 3–6 months), a crown is placed on top — giving you a tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural one.

Unlike a bridge, an implant doesn’t require grinding down adjacent healthy teeth. Unlike dentures, it doesn’t slip, require adhesive, or need to be removed at night.

The Implant Procedure at Tooth Priority — Step by Step

Consultation & X-ray — Bone density and gum health are evaluated. Digital imaging ensures accurate placement planning.
Implant Placement — Under local anesthesia, the titanium post is placed into the jawbone. Most patients report this as far less uncomfortable than they expected.
Healing Phase (3–6 months) — The implant fuses with the bone. A temporary crown may be placed during this period.
Abutment & Crown Placement — Once the implant is stable, an abutment is attached and a custom zirconia or PFM crown is placed on top.
Follow-up — The bite is checked and adjusted as needed.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Bangalore?

Implant costs in Bangalore typically range from ₹25,000 to ₹80,000 per tooth, depending on the implant brand, crown material, and whether bone grafting is needed. At Tooth Priority, pricing is discussed transparently during the consultation — no hidden charges.

Factors that affect cost: implant brand, crown type (zirconia vs PFM), need for bone graft, number of implants.

Am I a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most healthy adults with sufficient bone density are candidates. Factors that require evaluation first: active gum disease, diabetes, smoking history, bone loss. A consultation with Dr. Shivaprasad will determine eligibility based on a clinical exam and X-ray.

Why Choose a Specialist for Implants?

Implant placement is a surgical procedure. Going to a general dentist who ‘also does implants’ is not the same as seeing a dedicated implantologist. The difference shows up in placement accuracy, osseointegration rates, and long-term success.

Tooth Priority is the best dental clinic in Bangalore for implants because the procedure is always handled by a specialist — not delegated to a junior doctor.

FAQs

Q: How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, implants can last 15–25 years or more. The crown may need replacement after 10–15 years.

Q: Is the procedure painful?

The procedure is done under local anesthesia. Most patients report mild soreness for 2–3 days afterward, manageable with standard painkillers.

Q: Can I get an implant if I’ve had bone loss?

Possibly. Bone grafting can restore sufficient density in many cases. This is assessed during consultation.
