Bengaluru Middle Class Embraces Dental Implants

Dental implants are increasingly accessible to Bengaluru's middle-class residents, offering a more durable and functional alternative to traditional dentures and bridges. Patients are prioritizing long-term oral health and aesthetics, with implant costs now ranging between Rs 25,000 and Rs 50,000. Dentists report a significant rise in demand, with many performing a substantial number of implant procedures monthly.

Advances in implant technology have expanded eligibility, allowing treatment even in complex cases. This growing demand, particularly among the elderly who face health implications from missing teeth, has prompted the establishment of a dedicated implantology department at the government dental college and research institute. This new department is expected to operationalize within two months, offering subsidized treatments to eligible patients.
