Experience specialist-led dental implant treatment in Kothrud, Pune that restores your smile, confidence, and ability to eat comfortably -with natural-looking, long-lasting results backed by prosthodontic expertise.
About Dental Implants in Kothrud
Missing teeth affect more than your smile -they compromise chewing efficiency, jawbone density, and long-term oral health. Dental implants remain the gold standard for tooth replacement, functioning as true root substitutes rather than surface-level fixes like dentures or bridges. Each implant is a biocompatible titanium fixture, surgically placed into the jawbone, where it undergoes osseointegration -fusing with your natural bone to create a stable, load-bearing foundation for a custom crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration.
At Aesthedent, dental implant treatment in Kothrud, Pune is planned and executed under the direct supervision of a specialist prosthodontist -a dental professional with advanced, additional training in tooth replacement and restorative dentistry. Treatment begins with detailed clinical evaluation and 3D imaging (CBCT) to assess bone quality and map implant positioning with sub-millimeter precision. This diagnostic-first approach reduces surgical risk and improves long-term implant survival rates.
Every procedure is performed under controlled local anesthesia, with protocols designed around patient comfort, minimal downtime, and predictable healing. From initial consultation through final restoration, each stage is guided by prosthodontic expertise -not general practice guesswork -to ensure implants that function, feel, and last like natural teeth for 10–15 years or longer.
Patients travel to us from Bavdhan and Warje for implant work, largely because this is a decision people research rather than make on proximity -and it is worth asking whoever plans your case what their qualification actually is.
What dental implants does for you
- Acts as a true root substitute, transmitting bite force into the bone instead of resting on the gum
- Preserves jawbone density, which resorbs once a natural root is lost
- Fixed in place -no adhesive, no removal at night, no movement while eating
- Replaces a single tooth without cutting down the healthy teeth on either side
- Cleaned like a natural tooth rather than soaked
- Published survival data supports 10–15 years and often considerably longer
Why patients choose us for this treatment
Planned by a prosthodontist, not referred out
An implant is a restorative procedure as much as a surgical one. Dr. Sahil Wathodkar, BDS, MDS (Prosthodontics), Bharati Vidyapeeth, Pune, plans and supervises each case from consultation through final restoration.
Diagnostic-first, with CBCT
3D imaging assesses bone quality and maps implant positioning to sub-millimetre precision before anything is placed. This reduces surgical risk and improves long-term survival rates.
The final tooth is designed first
Implant position is dictated by where the finished crown needs to sit, not the other way round. Reversing that order is what produces implants that integrate but never bite correctly.
We will tell you when it is not the answer
For some cases a bridge is simpler, cheaper and just as durable. You should hear that before you commit to surgery, not after.
What to expect, step by step
Clinical evaluation and CBCT imaging
A detailed examination followed by 3D imaging to assess bone volume and density, and to map the implant position against the nerve and sinus anatomy.
Prosthodontic planning
The final restoration is designed first, then the implant position is derived from it. You see the plan on screen, with the stages and the honest alternatives -including doing nothing.
The plan and the cost, agreed
Nothing is ordered or booked until you have accepted both. Cost depends on the number of fixtures, the system used and whether grafting is needed.
Placement under controlled local anaesthesia
The site is numbed and tested before we begin, and you are told what is happening as it happens. Raise a hand at any point and we stop.
Osseointegration
The fixture fuses with the surrounding bone over some months. This stage is mostly waiting rather than treatment, and it is what makes the result load-bearing.
Final restoration and bite review
The custom crown, bridge or full-arch restoration is fitted and adjusted, then the bite is reviewed under real chewing rather than assumed to have settled.
Common questions
What is a dental implant, exactly?
A titanium post placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the bone has grown around it, it carries a crown, bridge or denture. It is fixed in place rather than removable.
Why would I choose an implant over a bridge or a denture?
An implant replaces a single tooth without cutting down the healthy teeth on either side, which a bridge requires. Against a denture, it is fixed rather than removable and loads the bone more naturally. It is not always the right answer, though - for some cases a bridge is simpler and just as durable, and we will say so.
Does it hurt?
The placement is done under local anaesthetic, which is tested before we start. Most people describe the sensation as pressure rather than pain. Afterwards you can expect soreness for a few days, managed with ordinary painkillers. Everyone's experience differs, which is why we would rather tell you what to expect than promise you a feeling.
How long do dental implants last?
Published survival data for implants is high over ten to fifteen years and many last considerably longer. Yours depends on the bone it sits in, how your bite loads it, whether you smoke, and how well the area is cleaned - which is why we review it rather than fit it and wave you off.
How long does the whole thing take?
Usually several months, most of which is waiting rather than treatment. The implant needs time to integrate with the bone before the final tooth can be loaded onto it. We will give you the stages and rough timings for your case at the planning visit.
What if I do not have enough bone?
It is common, particularly if the tooth has been missing for years, and it does not automatically rule an implant out. The scan tells us what is there. If grafting is needed we will explain what that adds in time and cost before you decide anything.
What does a dental implant cost in Pune?
It depends on the number of implants, the system used and whether any grafting is needed. We give you a written figure after the scan and the planning discussion, before any treatment is booked - we would rather you compared a real number than a starting price.
I have been putting this off because I am frightened. Is that a problem?
No, and you are in a large group. Tell us when you book and we will run the appointment differently: more explanation, more breaks, and a hand signal that stops everything immediately.
