Oral implant surgery in Sohna Road, Gurugram gives you back what a missing tooth quietly takes away — the ability to chew without thinking about it, to smile without covering your mouth, and to stop the slow bone loss that reshapes your jaw every month that gap stays empty. At Healing Gloves Clinic & Aesthetics near Central Park Flower Valley, dental implants are placed by Dr. Manisha Yadav, an Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon whose training goes well beyond standard implant placement. Her expertise in jaw bone surgery means that even patients who have been told they lack sufficient bone for implants have options — bone grafting, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentation are core maxillofacial procedures that she performs routinely, not referrals she sends you elsewhere for.
Procedure: Dental implant placement — a titanium screw is surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as an artificial tooth root, topped with a permanent crown. Replaces: Single missing teeth, multiple teeth, or full arches. Surgeon: Dr. Manisha Yadav, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon (14+ years). Anaesthesia: Local anaesthesia; sedation available for anxious patients. Healing time: 3–4 months for osseointegration (implant fusing with bone). Lifespan: 20–25+ years with proper care. Bone grafting: Available for patients with insufficient bone — performed by Dr. Yadav at the same clinic.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw — typically 8–13 mm long and 3.5–5 mm in diameter — that is surgically placed into the jawbone to function as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone over 3–4 months (a process called osseointegration), a connector piece (abutment) and a custom-made crown are attached on top. The result is a fixed, permanent tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural one.
Understanding how implants compare to the alternatives helps you make an informed decision about which replacement option is right for your situation.
| Factor | Dental Implant | Bridge | Removable Denture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Support | Stands alone in bone | Grinds down adjacent teeth | Rests on gums |
| Bone preservation | Yes — stimulates bone | No — bone under gap resorbs | No — accelerates bone loss |
| Adjacent teeth | Untouched | Must be ground down for crowns | Clasps may damage over time |
| Lifespan | 20–25+ years | 7–15 years | 5–8 years (needs relining) |
| Chewing efficiency | 90–95% of natural tooth | 60–80% | 25–40% |
| Maintenance | Brush and floss normally | Special floss under bridge | Remove, clean, soak daily |
The core advantage: An implant is the only tooth replacement that preserves jawbone. Every other option allows the bone in the extraction site to continue shrinking. Over years, this bone loss changes facial appearance — the chin moves forward, the lips lose support, and the face looks older than it should. An implant prevents this by giving the bone a functional load to maintain itself, the same way a natural tooth root does.
Understanding the full process removes the anxiety that comes from not knowing what to expect. Here is exactly what happens at each stage when you get an implant placed by Dr. Manisha Yadav at Healing Gloves Clinic.
Dr. Yadav examines your mouth clinically and takes a CBCT scan — a three-dimensional X-ray that shows your jawbone height, width, density, and the location of critical structures (nerves, sinuses, adjacent tooth roots). This scan determines whether you have sufficient bone for an implant or whether bone augmentation is needed first. She then plans the exact position, angulation, and depth of the implant digitally before any surgery begins.
If the CBCT reveals insufficient bone, a grafting procedure is performed. For the upper jaw, a sinus lift raises the sinus membrane and places bone graft material beneath it. For narrow ridges, ridge augmentation widens the bone. For localised defects, guided bone regeneration with membranes and graft particles rebuilds the site. Grafts need 4–6 months to mature before implant placement. In some cases, grafting and implant placement can happen simultaneously — Dr. Yadav determines this based on available bone and stability achievable.
Under local anaesthesia, a small incision is made in the gum to expose the bone. A precisely calibrated osteotomy (hole) is drilled at the planned position — the drilling is done with copious saline irrigation to prevent heat damage to bone. The titanium implant is threaded into the prepared site until it reaches the planned depth and achieves good primary stability. The gum is sutured closed over the implant. The entire procedure takes 30–60 minutes per implant.
Over the next 3–4 months, the bone cells grow onto and around the titanium surface of the implant, locking it permanently into the jaw. This biological bonding — osseointegration — is what gives implants their strength. During this period, you eat normally on the other side and the implant site is left undisturbed. A temporary tooth replacement can be worn for aesthetics if the implant is in a visible area.
After osseointegration is confirmed through clinical and radiographic assessment, the implant is uncovered (a minor 5-minute procedure) and a healing abutment is placed for 2 weeks to shape the gum tissue. Impressions are then taken for your custom crown. The final crown — matched to the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth — is cemented or screwed onto the abutment. You now have a permanent, functional, natural-looking tooth.
Many dental professionals place implants — general dentists, prosthodontists, periodontists, and oral surgeons. So why would you specifically choose a maxillofacial surgeon?
The answer becomes clear in complex cases. Straightforward implant placement in healthy bone with adequate volume is within the scope of many trained dentists. But the moment your case involves any of the following, a maxillofacial surgeon's training becomes directly relevant:
Dr. Manisha Yadav's 14+ years of maxillofacial surgical experience means she handles both the straightforward and the complex under one roof at our Sohna Road clinic. If your case needs bone work before or during implant placement, she performs it herself — no referral to another surgeon, no coordination delays, no additional facility fees.
One implant replaces one missing tooth. The implant stands independently without affecting neighbouring teeth — unlike a bridge, which requires grinding down the teeth on either side. This is the ideal solution when you have lost one tooth to decay, fracture, or extraction and the adjacent teeth are healthy. Patients from Badshahpur, Central Park Flower Valley, and Sector 33 most commonly request single implant replacements for front teeth (aesthetic concern) and molars (chewing function).
Two or three implants can support a bridge that replaces 3–5 adjacent missing teeth. This is more cost-effective and less invasive than placing one implant per missing tooth. The implants at each end support the bridge, and the intermediate teeth are suspended between them (pontics). The result is a fixed, non-removable set of teeth that function naturally.
For patients who have lost all teeth in one or both jaws — or whose remaining teeth are beyond saving — four to six strategically placed implants can support a complete fixed bridge. This eliminates removable dentures entirely. The posterior implants are typically angled to maximise bone contact and avoid the need for sinus lifts in the upper jaw. Patients who have struggled with loose, uncomfortable dentures for years describe full-arch implant rehabilitation as life-changing — they can eat anything, speak clearly, and smile without worrying about dentures shifting.
In select cases where the extraction socket has good bone quality and no infection, an implant can be placed immediately after tooth extraction — in the same appointment. This reduces the total treatment time and avoids the bone loss that normally occurs after extraction. A temporary crown can sometimes be placed the same day for aesthetic teeth. Dr. Yadav assesses each case individually — immediate placement is excellent when conditions are right, but forcing it when they are not leads to higher failure rates.
Being told "you do not have enough bone for implants" is one of the most common reasons patients delay or abandon the idea of implants. But in the vast majority of cases, bone can be built. This is a surgical problem with surgical solutions — and it is precisely what maxillofacial surgeons are trained for.
The maxillary sinus sits directly above the upper back teeth. After upper molars are extracted, the bone between the sinus floor and the mouth shrinks over time. A sinus lift raises the sinus membrane upward and places bone graft material underneath, creating enough bone height to anchor implants. After 4–6 months of graft maturation, implants are placed into the newly formed bone. In some cases with adequate existing bone, the sinus lift and implant placement are done simultaneously.
When the jaw ridge has become too narrow or too short for implant placement, bone graft material and a barrier membrane are placed to widen or heighten the ridge. The graft integrates with native bone over 4–6 months, after which implants can be placed into a ridge with adequate dimensions.
Placing bone graft material into the extraction socket immediately after a tooth is removed prevents the normal bone shrinkage that follows extraction. This preserves bone volume for future implant placement and is particularly important in the aesthetic zone (front teeth) where bone loss can compromise the final cosmetic result.
Dr. Manisha Yadav performs all of these bone augmentation procedures at Healing Gloves Clinic. Her maxillofacial surgical training means bone grafting is not an occasional add-on — it is a fundamental part of her skill set, performed routinely for patients across Sohna Road, Nirvana Country, Malibu Towne, and the wider Gurugram area.
Implant pricing in Gurugram varies widely, and the cheapest option is rarely the best value. Understanding what goes into the cost helps you compare clinics meaningfully.
Clinics advertising extremely low implant prices are often quoting only the implant screw — excluding the abutment, crown, CBCT, and any bone grafting. Others use unbranded or grey-market implant systems with no long-term clinical data. The lowest upfront price becomes the most expensive option when an implant fails at year 3 because the system was substandard or the surgical placement was compromised.
Dr. Yadav provides an itemised cost breakdown after clinical examination and CBCT assessment. You will see exactly what each component costs — implant brand, abutment type, crown material, any grafting needed — with no hidden charges. This transparency lets you make an informed decision based on value, not just price.

An implant is not a "set it and forget it" solution. It requires care — but that care is simpler than most patients expect.
Brush twice daily and floss around the implant crown just as you would around natural teeth. An interdental brush works well for cleaning around the abutment where the crown meets the gum. An oral irrigator (water flosser) is a useful addition for keeping the area around the implant clean. There is no special toothpaste or mouthwash required.
Do not use the implant crown to crack nuts, open bottles, or bite extremely hard objects — the crown can fracture even though the implant itself is strong. If you grind your teeth at night (bruxism), a night guard is recommended to protect both the implant crown and your natural teeth from excessive wear.
Visit your dentist every 6 months for professional cleaning around the implant and a check of the crown, abutment, and screw tightness. An annual X-ray monitors bone levels around the implant. Catching early signs of peri-implantitis (inflammation around the implant) means it can be treated before bone loss occurs.
If you continued smoking after implant placement, you face a higher ongoing risk of peri-implantitis and eventual implant failure. Quitting smoking at any point improves your implant prognosis significantly.
What is the difference between a dental implant placed by a dentist and one placed by a maxillofacial surgeon?
The implant itself is the same titanium screw. The difference is in the surgical expertise handling complex cases. A general dentist or prosthodontist can place implants in straightforward cases with adequate bone. A maxillofacial surgeon like Dr. Manisha Yadav is trained to handle cases that require bone grafting, sinus lifting, immediate placement after extraction, and implants in compromised bone — situations where the surgical complexity exceeds standard implant placement. Her training in jaw surgery means she understands bone biology, healing, and anatomy at a depth that directly translates to implant success in difficult cases.
How long does a dental implant last?
With proper placement and good oral hygiene, dental implants can last 20–25 years or longer — many last a lifetime. The titanium screw that sits in the bone has a success rate exceeding 95% at 10 years. The crown (the visible tooth part) on top may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear. The key factors affecting longevity are oral hygiene, smoking status, and the quality of the initial surgical placement.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
The surgery is performed under local anaesthesia, so you feel pressure but no pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild — most patients manage with basic pain medication for 2–3 days. Patients consistently report that implant surgery is less painful than they expected, and significantly less uncomfortable than the tooth extraction that preceded it. For anxious patients or complex cases, sedation options are available.
How long does the full implant process take from start to finish?
The complete process typically takes 3–6 months. After implant placement, 3–4 months of healing is needed for the implant to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). After confirmed integration, the abutment and crown are placed in 2–3 appointments over 2–3 weeks. If bone grafting is needed beforehand, add 4–6 months for graft maturation. Immediate loading protocols (teeth on the same day) are possible in select cases — Dr. Yadav will advise if your case qualifies.
Can I get an implant if I have been told I do not have enough bone?
Yes, in most cases. Insufficient bone is not a disqualification — it means a bone augmentation procedure is needed before or during implant placement. Dr. Manisha Yadav performs bone grafting, sinus lift surgery, ridge augmentation, and guided bone regeneration to build adequate bone volume for implants. Her maxillofacial surgical training makes these bone procedures a core part of her skill set, not an add-on.
What is the cost of dental implant surgery in Gurugram?
Implant cost depends on several factors: the implant system used (Korean, European, or American brands at different price points), whether bone grafting or sinus lift is needed, the type of crown (metal-ceramic, zirconia, or full-ceramic), and the number of implants. Single implant costs include the implant screw, abutment, and crown. Dr. Yadav provides an itemised cost breakdown after clinical and radiographic assessment so you know exactly what each component costs.
How many teeth can be replaced with implants?
Implants can replace a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch. A single implant replaces one tooth. Two to three implants can support a bridge replacing 3–4 adjacent missing teeth. For a fully edentulous (toothless) jaw, 4–6 implants can support a complete fixed bridge — this is the All-on-4 or All-on-6 concept that eliminates removable dentures entirely. Dr. Yadav recommends the minimum number of implants needed to achieve stable, long-lasting results.
What happens if I do not replace a missing tooth?
The consequences of leaving a gap are progressive and worsen over time. Adjacent teeth tilt into the space, opposing teeth over-erupt, bite alignment changes, chewing efficiency drops, bone in the extraction site resorbs (shrinks) because it no longer has a tooth root to maintain it, and facial appearance can change as bone loss progresses. The longer you wait, the more bone you lose — which can make future implant placement more complex and expensive. Early replacement preserves bone and simplifies the procedure.
Can smokers get dental implants?
Smokers can receive implants, but smoking significantly increases the risk of implant failure. Nicotine constricts blood vessels, reduces blood flow to healing bone, and impairs osseointegration. Studies show implant failure rates in smokers are roughly double those in non-smokers. Dr. Yadav will discuss this risk openly — if you can quit or reduce smoking for 2–4 weeks before and 8 weeks after surgery, your success rate improves substantially. She will not refuse treatment but will ensure you understand the increased risk.
