1. "Is dental implant treatment safe, and what is the success rate?"
Patients want reassurance that implants are reliable, long-lasting, and performed by an experienced specialist. But they're also concerned about:
- Clean environment: Is the clinic sterile and hygienic?
- Latest technology: Are modern techniques and equipment used?
- Specialist experience: How many successful cases has the doctor completed?
At Burute Dental, we emphasize that dental implants have a success rate of over 95% when performed by experienced specialists using proper protocols in a sterile environment with advanced technology.
2. "How much does a dental implant cost, and are there hidden charges?"
Cost transparency is crucial. Patients want clear breakdowns without surprises.
Approximate Cost Structure at Burute Dental:
Single Tooth Dental Implant: ₹15,000 to ₹25,000
Multiple Teeth Implants: Up to ₹50,000
Full Mouth Dental Implants: Up to ₹1,50,000
Important points patients should know:
- Number of implants needed: A 3D X-ray or full mouth checkup is required to calculate number of teeth missing and then the number of implants required.
- Crown/abutment charges: Included in our transparent pricing.
- EMI options: Burute Dental offers EMI facility at 0% interest with available discounts.
3. "Does the implant procedure hurt? Is it painful?"
Pain management is a top concern. Here's what we tell patients at Burute Dental:
- Anesthesia: We give strong anesthesia limited only to the implant area for a completely painless experience.
- Procedure duration: Many worry about sitting in the chair too long - we complete full implant surgery in under 20 minutes.
Post-treatment pain statistics from our patients:
80% of patients reported no pain after surgery and didn't need painkillers.
15% reported mild pain that disappeared with basic painkillers.
Only 5% required stronger pain medication.
Healing time: Most patients experience healing within 36 hours.
4. "How long will the treatment take, and how many visits are needed?"
Patients need to plan their schedules. Our treatment timeline at Burute Dental:
- Implant placement: 15-20 minutes per implant
- Bone grafting: Rarely needed as we prefer working with natural bone
- Final teeth placement: We use conventional implant systems that require 2.5 months for proper osseointegration (implant fusing with bone) to ensure lifetime success
Total Treatment Duration:
3-3.5 months for complete treatment from start to final teeth placement.
Insight from Dr. Mrunal Burute
"In my years of experience, I've observed that the real problem why patients require dental implants is consecutive previous bad treatments."
The Treatment Domino Effect:
A patient first develops a cavity → it progresses to needing a root canal → the root canal isn't properly done → the tooth fails → leading to the need for an implant. Or a dental bridge fails in just 10-15 years and then implants become necessary.
That's why I focus on patient education first. I teach the right science behind successful dental implants (even though some patients find it boring😃). This makes all the difference - me doing the right job and patients maintaining it for lifetime results.
