UditVani, Jamshedpur: Misaligned teeth or noticeable gaps—often colloquially referred to as “kukurdatta”—can affect both appearance and confidence.
However, modern dental science offers an effective solution through dental implant surgery, ensuring long-term correction and aesthetic improvement.
Dr. Richa Angik, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at Steel City Nursing Home, explains that dental implants are an ideal option for individuals with uneven teeth or missing gaps.
“The procedure involves two to three stages, and through minor surgical intervention, patients can achieve a natural-looking and well-aligned smile within a short period,” she said.
A dental implant primarily consists of three components. The threaded post acts as the artificial root and is fixed into the jawbone.
The abutment, a small connector, is attached to the post and slightly protrudes above the gum line, forming the base for the artificial tooth.
Finally, the restoration—such as a crown, bridge, or denture—completes the process, restoring both function and appearance.
Highlighting the cost factor, Dr. Angik noted that expenses vary depending on the number of teeth and the complexity of the case.
“The cost typically starts from Rs 30,000– Rs 40,000,” she added.
Dental implants not only restore missing teeth but also enhance facial aesthetics, improve chewing ability, and significantly boost self-confidence.
