GENSER Dental Tourism
India is one of the preferred destinations for dental tourism in the world. Thousands of people from USA, Europe and other parts of the world fly to India every year for their dental concerns. Though tourists attach a variety of reasons for their travel, the major indicator is the cost for dental implants and dental surgery, which is generally cheap in India.
Dental Tourism India
Many people still travel to India for various dental treatments inspite of recession and slump downs in the market. The major reason is the cost and dental insurance. Only 50% of the total population in U.S have dental insurance. Those with comprehensive medical packages sometimes do not have dental coverage.
In western countries not only is the dental insurance coverage low but also the cost of the dental treatments is extremely high. For instance, a patient requiring root canal treatment might cost up to $600 and a tooth crowning may cost around $40000. However, same procedures cost around $35-125 in India.

Dental Implants
Dental implants and implantology are some of the successful dental surgery treatments India is popular for. Dental implants are titanium fixtures or artificial teeth that are surgically placed in the jawbone. Over time the titanium fixtures merges with the teeth bone through a process called osseo-integration. Once this foundation becomes strong, a crown or bridge is placed on the respective teeth.
There are different types of surgical dental implants procedure. If you are coming for dental implants to India, check with your dentist for the dental implant procedure you might require.
Root form Implant:
This implant looks like the root of a tooth. The implant is placed on your bone surgically with local anesthesia if your jawbone is wide and deep enough. Otherwise grafting is done to place the same. Once the implant is placed, the gums are stitched. It takes three to six months to heal.
Plate form Implant:
If your jawbone is not wide enough for bone grafting, then a plate form implant is suggested. After local anesthesia, a cosmetic dentist will place the implant on your bone and stitch the gums. Some implants might take three to six months for restoration, while some are healed quickly.
Subperiosteal Implants:
This is suggested in cases where the jawbone does not have enough height/width to accommodate either the root form or the plate form implant. This is a custom-made solution for your teeth and is usually placed via any of the two special methods. The first method involves making an impression of your jawbone by a cosmetic dentist. After which, he/she comes up with a custom-fit implant to suit your bone. The second methodology involves CAT scan of your jawbone. The CAT scans your jawbone and provides the dentist with a model of the same. With this model, the dental labs create an implant suitable for your jawbone.
