Dental Implants in India — Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants from India reliable?
Yes — when placed at a JCI-accredited or NABH-certified hospital by an MDS-qualified oral surgeon, dental implants in India are as reliable as implants placed in the UK. The implant fixture itself is the same product (Nobel Biocare, Straumann, Osstem are all internationally sourced) and follows the same placement protocol. Success rates for dental implants globally are 95–98% at 10 years regardless of country of placement, provided the patient has adequate bone density and good oral hygiene.
How much does All-on-4 cost in India?
All-on-4 dental implants in India cost ₹2,50,000–₹4,50,000 per jaw (approximately £2,500–£4,500 at current exchange rates). Both jaws (full mouth All-on-4) cost ₹4,80,000–₹8,00,000 (£4,800–£8,000). This includes 4 implants, abutments, and a full-arch fixed zirconia bridge. Compare to UK All-on-4 prices of £12,000–£20,000 per jaw — savings of 75–79% even after adding flights and hotel.
How do I get an Indian e-Medical Visa for dental treatment?
Apply online at indianvisaonline.gov.in. Select e-Medical Visa (eMV) type. You’ll need: passport details, recent photo, travel dates, and a reference letter or appointment confirmation from your treating Indian hospital’s International Patient Department. The eMV costs approximately $80 and is approved within 3–5 business days. It allows triple entry for up to 60 days — enough for implant placement and a follow-up crown-fitting trip. UK, US, Australian, and most EU citizens are eligible.
Can I get dental implants in India in one trip?
Yes — using immediate-loading (same-day implant) protocols available at major Indian implant centres. Suitable patients (sufficient bone density, no medical contraindications) can have implants placed and a temporary or final crown fitted within a single 7-10 day trip. For patients requiring bone grafts or with lower bone density, two trips are needed: Trip 1 for placement (5 days), Trip 2 for final crown fitting 3–4 months later (3–4 days). The hospital’s IPD will advise based on your CBCT scan.
