Dental implants in Gurunanak Colony, Vijayawada

At GIA Clinics Gurunanak Colony, on Club Road, Funtimes, this treatment is led by Dr Sai Santosh and Dr Pravalika. A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone that holds a crown, bridge or denture in place of a missing tooth. At GIA Clinics in Vijayawada, implants are planned and placed by Dr Sai Santosh, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon, with Dr Pravalika Mogili, at both our Gunadala and Gurunanak Colony clinics.

Is it right for you

Who it suits.

Your first visit answers this properly, with an examination and, where needed, a scan, before you commit to anything.

Usually suits you if

  • One or more teeth missing and you want a fixed replacement
  • A loose or uncomfortable denture you would like to secure
  • A tooth that cannot be saved and needs to come out
  • You prefer not to have healthy neighbouring teeth cut for a bridge

Tell us first if

  • Diabetes, heart conditions or blood-thinning medicines
  • Smoking or chewing tobacco, which can slow healing
  • Bone-strengthening medicines or past radiation to the head and neck
  • Pregnancy, which usually means waiting before surgery
What happens, step by step

From first visit to aftercare.

  1. Consultation & scan

    We examine your mouth, take an OPG X-ray and, where needed, a 3D scan to check the bone and plan the implant position.

    Visit 1

  2. Treatment plan

    Dr Sai explains which implant type suits you, whether any bone grafting is needed, and how long each stage should take.

    Visit 1 or 2

  3. Implant placement

    Under local anaesthesia, the implant is placed in the jaw in our minor operation theatre. Stitches, if used, come out in about a week.

    Visit 2

  4. Healing

    The bone bonds to the implant over the next few months. You may wear a temporary tooth during this time.

    Usually 2 to 4 months

  5. Final tooth

    We scan or take impressions of the healed implant and fit your crown, bridge or denture, then check the bite.

Options at GIA

Types of implant treatment at GIA

01

Single implants

One implant replaces one missing tooth, with a crown on top. Neighbouring teeth are left untouched.

One or a few missing teeth with enough healthy bone
02

Cortico-basal implants

Implants designed to anchor in the dense outer layer of the jaw, which can sometimes avoid bone grafting and allow teeth to be fitted sooner.

Some patients with thin or reduced bone, after careful assessment
03

Full mouth rehabilitation

Several implants support a fixed set of teeth for a whole jaw or both jaws, planned together with your bite.

Most or all teeth missing, or a denture you want to replace with fixed teeth

Questions

Common questions.

Answers to be checked by the doctor

Does getting an implant hurt?

The area is numbed with local anaesthesia, so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Mild soreness for a few days afterwards is common and usually settles with simple painkillers.

How long do dental implants last?

With good brushing, flossing and regular check-ups, implants often last many years. Smoking, gum disease and uncontrolled diabetes can shorten their life.

Which implant brands do you use?

We use Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Adin implants. Dr Sai will suggest the one that fits your bone, bite and plan.

Can I get an implant if I have diabetes?

Often yes, if your blood sugar is well controlled. We may ask for recent test results and coordinate with your physician before surgery.
