What is it?
Dental implants replace missing tooth roots with biocompatible titanium or ceramic fixtures that fuse securely into the jawbone to support crowns, bridges, or fixed full-arch teeth. At Kumar's Microscopic Dental Care in Yelahanka, implant planning and prosthetic restorations are led by Dr. RV Roshini, MDS Prosthodontist & Implant Specialist.

Frequently asked questions
How much do dental implants cost in Bangalore?
In Bangalore, single dental implants typically range from ₹25,000 to ₹55,000+ depending on the implant brand (e.g. Osstem, Nobel Biocare), bone grafting requirements, and whether a metal-ceramic or premium zirconia crown is chosen.
