TheStrategicImplantistheFuture

DrPillaisays"The pre-procedure visit is for consultation with our dentist and a clinical examination, OPG and CBCT (3D) imaging at our centre. In this visit, we clearly evaluate the status of existing teeth and jawbones, followed by clinical evaluation and finalization of the treatment plan."

Compromisedteethcanalsobeextractedatthesametime thattheimplantsareplacedforaddedconvenience.

Here,DrPillaiexplains, "We can certainly provide a treatment plan with cost workouts for patients who provide us with their digital OPG Xray as well as their medical history. The patients with significant bone and gum loss may need advanced techniques employing unique implant designs including the zygomatic implants, which cost slightly higher. These advanced techniques allow us to skip bone graft surgeries altogether. Patients can bid goodbye to dentures forever, no matter how much ever unfavorable their dental status might be."

CostsofdentalimplantsvarybetweenRs.20,000toRs. 60,000(pertooth),andoneimplantmayholdmorethan onetooth.Thecostestimatecanbeprovidedonlybasedon thetreatmentplanforthepatient,andthetreatmentplan,in turn,isbasedonthedigitalOPGXray(anXraywhich providesaclearideaaboutthestatusoftheexistingteeth, jawsandjaw-joints)andthemedicalstatusofthepatient.

Finally,DrPillaiconcludes,"Our experience with thousands of implant operations and case observations clearly shows that Cortico Basal Strategic implants are reliable as natural teeth in adult patients."

DrPillaiadds,"We offer Hospital Dentistry Services with highly experienced anaesthetists and other medical consultants on board through which medically compromised and surgery-related cases are taken up for treatment."

"We will also be taking you through relevant presentations detailing the implant treatment procedures during this visit, after which we will be able to answer your questions about the procedures.”
