Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials such as titanium or zirconia. These posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth and provide strong support for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike removable dentures, dental implants fuse naturally with the bone in a process called osseointegration, offering a secure, long-term solution that closely mimics the function and appearance of natural teeth. They help restore chewing ability, prevent bone loss, and improve overall smile aesthetics.
At Kosmix Dental Clinic, located in HSR Layout, Bengaluru, we specialize in advanced implantology procedures. Our team, led by Dr. Salman Khan, Dr. Sophia Saud (MDS – Endodontist & Aesthetic Specialist), and Dr. Shankhadeep Saha (MDS – Oral Implantologist), is committed to delivering high-quality, patient-focused dental care with precision and compassion.
Types of Dental Implants
1. Endosteal Implants
Endosteal implants are the most commonly used type. They are shaped like small screws and are placed directly into the jawbone. Once the area heals and the implant bonds with the bone, an abutment and crown are added. Endosteal implants are ideal for patients with sufficient healthy bone and are typically used to support single crowns, bridges, or full dentures.
At Kosmix Dental Clinic, our implant specialists ensure careful assessment and planning before recommending this option for long-term success and comfort.
2. Subperiosteal Implants
Subperiosteal implants are placed under the gum tissue but above the jawbone. This type is used for patients who do not have enough natural jawbone and are not candidates for bone grafting. A custom metal framework is used to hold the implant in place, sitting over the bone rather than inside it. While less common today, subperiosteal implants are still an option in specific cases, especially when performed by experienced professionals like Dr. Shankhadeep Saha, who has handled numerous complex cases successfully.
3. Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants are the least common and are only used in cases of severe upper jawbone loss. Instead of anchoring in the jawbone, these implants are placed in the cheekbone (zygoma), which provides a stable foundation. Because this technique is complex, it is typically performed by specialists trained in advanced maxillofacial and implant surgeries. Kosmix Dental Clinic offers zygomatic implants in carefully selected cases, following detailed evaluation and planning.
Dental Implant Procedure
The implant process usually begins with a thorough consultation, which includes X-rays or 3D scans to assess jawbone condition and overall oral health. Once the treatment plan is finalized, the implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anesthesia. A healing period of three to six months follows, during which the implant integrates with the bone. After successful healing, an abutment is placed on the implant, and then the final crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached.
At Kosmix Dental Clinic, we ensure every step—from diagnosis to final restoration—is handled with utmost care and precision. Our modern facility in HSR Layout, Bengaluru, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to provide a smooth, painless, and safe implant experience.
