What is Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant fuses with the bone (a process called osseointegration), a custom-made crown is attached on top — creating a tooth replacement that looks, feels, and functions exactly like a natural tooth.
Dr. Aparna Gagare-Ghanwat has performed hundreds of successful implant procedures at Yashashree Dental Family Care, making it one of the most trusted implant clinics in Karve Nagar, Pune.

- ✅ Improved chewing ability and speech
- ✅ Easy to clean — brush and floss normally
- ✅ Boosts self-confidence and smile aesthetics
The Treatment Process
Initial Consultation & X-Rays
Dr. Aparna evaluates your bone density, oral health, and medical history. Digital X-rays or CBCT scans are taken to plan the implant placement precisely.
Implant Placement Surgery
Under local anaesthesia, a small titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. The procedure is virtually painless.
Healing & Osseointegration
Over the next 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone. A temporary crown may be worn during this period.
Abutment Placement
Once healing is complete, a small connector piece called an abutment is attached to the implant to hold the final crown.
Crown Placement
A custom-made porcelain crown — matched to your natural tooth colour — is fitted onto the abutment, completing your new tooth.
Follow-up & Care
Final adjustments are made and you receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure the longevity of your implant.
