Dental Implant in Nepal

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once it heals and fuses with the bone — a process called osseointegration — a natural-looking crown is attached on top.

The result looks, feels, and functions like a real tooth. Implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or support full dentures.

Dental implant prices at DentaLife start from NPR 1,00,000 per implant. Additional costs may apply if bone grafting or a sinus lift is required.

Good candidates for dental implants have:

• Healthy gums and adequate jawbone to support the implant
• Good general and oral health
• No uncontrolled systemic conditions such as diabetes or heart disease
• Non-smoker status (or willingness to stop, as smoking significantly affects healing)

Patients who have had radiation therapy to the head or neck area are evaluated individually. A consultation with our specialist, Dr. Alok Sagtani (MDS, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon), will determine your suitability.

Placing a single implant typically takes 1–2 hours under local anaesthesia. Multiple implants require additional time.

After placement, the implant needs 4–6 months to fuse with the jawbone before the final crown can be attached. If bone grafting or a sinus lift is required, this healing phase may extend the overall timeline by a further 4–5 months.

The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you should feel no pain during surgery. After the anaesthesia wears off, mild soreness is normal and is easily managed with prescribed analgesics (pain relievers).

Most patients find the discomfort much less than they expected.

DentaLife uses internationally recognised implant brands — Nobel BioCare and Bredent — selected based on each patient's bone condition and clinical requirements. Both are trusted systems used by specialists worldwide.

If your jawbone is not thick enough to hold an implant securely, a bone graft is performed first. A bone substitute material (Bio-Oss) is placed to fill the area where bone is absent and to provide structural stability.

The grafted area is then covered with a membrane and sutured closed. Healing takes approximately 4–6 months before an implant can be placed. DentaLife performs this procedure in-house under local anaesthesia.

A sinus lift is required when placing implants in the upper back jaw and the floor of the sinus cavity is too close to the area where the implant will be placed — most commonly after multiple upper tooth loss.

During the procedure, the sinus membrane is gently lifted and bone graft material is placed in the created space. Healing takes up to 4–6 months before implant placement. It is a routine procedure performed routinely at DentaLife by Dr. Alok Sagtani.

• Brush twice daily and floss regularly around the implant
• Take antibiotics as prescribed by your surgeon
• Attend follow-up appointments every 6 months
• Avoid biting on extremely hard foods
• Avoid smoking, alcohol, and tobacco, which impair healing
• Maintain good general health — uncontrolled conditions like diabetes can affect osseointegration

Dental implants have a high success rate, but as with any surgical procedure, complications can occur. These include:

• Peri-implantitis — infection around the implant, often caused by poor hygiene, smoking, or gum disease
• Nerve or tissue damage
• Perforation into the maxillary sinus
• Implant rejection or failure to fuse with bone
• Implant bending or fracture
• Allergic reaction to materials

These risks are minimised by careful patient selection, proper surgical technique, and diligent aftercare. Your surgeon will discuss your individual risk profile at consultation.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation (also called Full Mouth Reconstruction or Full Arch Rehabilitation) is a comprehensive dental treatment that restores all the teeth in both the upper and lower jaws.

When most or all teeth are missing or severely damaged, dental implants provide a permanent, stable, and natural-looking solution — significantly better than traditional removable dentures. It improves chewing ability, speech, facial appearance, and overall confidence.

• All-on-4 / All-on-6: A full arch of teeth is supported by just 4 or 6 strategically placed implants. Ideal for patients who have lost most or all teeth. Fixed and non-removable. Often avoids the need for bone grafting.
• Implant-supported dentures: A removable or semi-fixed denture attached to 2–4 implants. More stable than traditional dentures with no slipping. More affordable than a full fixed bridge.
• Individual implants with crowns: Each missing tooth gets its own implant and crown — the most natural-looking and long-lasting option, best for patients with good bone support.

Our specialist will recommend the best option based on your bone structure, number of missing teeth, and budget.

The treatment follows four main stages:

• 1. Diagnosis & Planning: Digital X-rays, CBCT scans, photos, and impressions are taken. Bone density, gum health, bite, and facial symmetry are assessed. A personalised treatment plan is created.
• 2. Implant Placement: Implants are placed under local anaesthesia. Healing takes 3–6 months for osseointegration (bone fusion).
• 3. Temporary Teeth: During healing, temporary teeth or dentures are provided so you are never without a smile.
• 4. Final Restoration: Permanent crowns, bridges, or full-arch prostheses are fitted — giving you a fully functional, natural-looking smile.

You may be a good candidate if you:

• Have lost most or all of your teeth
• Have multiple failing or severely decayed teeth
• Want a fixed, natural-looking permanent alternative to removable dentures
• Have adequate jawbone, or are willing to undergo bone grafting
• Maintain good overall health and oral hygiene

• Permanent & durable — no need to remove them at night
• Better chewing & speech — full bite strength, no slipping or clicking
• Natural appearance — looks and feels like real teeth
• Bone preservation — prevents jawbone loss and facial sagging that occurs with missing teeth
• No adhesives — no messy denture creams needed
• Easier maintenance — brush and floss just like natural teeth
• Long lifespan — implants can last 15–25 years or more with proper care

With proper care, dental implants can last 15–25 years or more — many last a lifetime. The crown or prosthesis on top may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear.

Longevity depends on maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular check-ups every 6 months, avoiding smoking, and managing any systemic health conditions.

No. During the healing phase between implant placement and the fitting of your final prosthesis, temporary teeth or dentures are provided. You will be able to eat, speak, and smile throughout the entire treatment process.
