Dental Implants
Comment

Dental implants are tooth analogues used to replace your missing tooth/teeth. They are the most popular means of replacing missing teeth as they are fixed and offer a permanent solution.
They are tooth like, metal posts which are a welcome alternative to dentures that don’t fit well and offer a competent solution when lack of teeth don’t allow fixed bridgework.



Why dental implants?

Missing teeth, at any phase in life, cause many functional and psychological problems. Tooth loss can be due to several reasons, be it gum disease, dental decay or even trauma. Proper chewing and breaking down of food particles are essential for proper digestion and eventually absorption of nutrients. Loss of teeth impairs this first step in the digestive process. Along with impairment of the digestive process, loss of teeth leads to impairment is speech, loss of aesthetics and malalignment of teeth. Teeth tend to shift in the space created by the missing teeth. The position and alignment of the entire jaw gets unbalanced in the process. Tooth loss also leads to loss of attachment of adjacent teeth, perpetuating further loss of teeth. This gives rise to a vicious cycle

Beside this, loss of teeth may have severe psychological implications. Sinking of cheeks, appearance of wrinkles and loss of confidence, especially while smiling, can be a major deterrent to a person’s mental and physical well-being. Implants are the closest solution to natural, tooth like replacement.

Our Reviews

Ananth Subramanian

My mother is 95 yrs and bedridden. Very few amongst Doctors that too MD who agree to home visit. Dr.Khanna agreed considering the age and condition of the patient. He is full of empathy and care for the patient over and above being very competent and professional. Rare combination indeed. We are lucky his clinic is in our neighbourhood.

Sunil Aiyer

It feels like home... meaning comfortable whenever we visit. Dr. Binti has a way of doing all that is necessary without us as patients realising it. Recommended to all as the pricing is reasonable and besides quality services are available at almost ones doorstep.

Shilendra Benjamin

Excellent service. Dr Ashok Khanna, with his vast experience of many decades, inspires confidence in his patients. He visited my home at short notice to examine my mother, twice, and always followed up on call to enquire on her progress, which is now rare to come across these days. Will strongly recommend him to anyone who lives in the area. His diagnosis and treatment are accurate and fair.

I went to Healthchakra Clinic for my child's dental treatment of tooth extraction and root canal, and what an amazing dentist!
Dr. BINTI was very enthusiastic about her work; she was treated as if she were a family member. I desperately needed a dentist I could rely on. I was quite pleased with the outcome of my child's dental work. Initially, my child was terrified, but I am grateful to Dr. BINTI for managing the matter so professionally.
