Losing a tooth raises a practical question for many adults in Sattadhar: should the gap be filled with a bridge or with an implant. Both are sound options, and the right one depends on the teeth next to the gap, the bone underneath and how long you want the result to last. At Kkeswani Dental & Polyclinic, this decision is made after a proper examination rather than a quick opinion across the chair.
A bridge uses the neighbouring teeth as supports. Those teeth are shaped down and capped, and a false tooth is joined between them. It is quicker to complete and works well when the adjacent teeth already carry large fillings or crowns. An implant replaces the root with a small titanium post placed in the jaw, so the healthy teeth on either side are left untouched. Our crowns and bridges and dental implants pages describe each in more detail.
Patients from Sattadhar reach us by heading towards Sola and then driving south on the SG Highway to Iskcon Cross Roads. At the first visit, Dr. Prattik Kkeswani, our prosthodontist and implantologist, checks the gap, takes an X-ray where it is needed and explains both routes side by side. You then choose with a clear picture of the number of visits, the healing time and the care each option needs afterwards.
If you live near Sattadhar Cross Roads and have a missing tooth, book a consultation to compare a bridge and an implant for your own mouth before deciding. Call +91-990-964-4344 to fix a time.

A prosthodontist looks at your gap. Replacing teeth is the core of Dr. Prattik Kkeswani's MDS training in Prosthodontics and Oral Implantology, and he is a Fellow of the ICOI (USA). For Sattadhar patients this means the choice between a bridge and an implant is weighed by someone who provides both regularly, not someone who favours one out of habit.
Honest advice about the neighbouring teeth. If the teeth beside the gap are healthy and unfilled, we usually explain why cutting them down for a bridge may not be ideal. If they are already heavily restored, a bridge can make good sense. Either way, the reasoning is shown to you on the X-ray, so the trade-off is easy to follow.
Materials you can check by name. Our crowns and bridges use materials from brands such as 3M Lava and Ivoclar, and our implant work uses systems from Nobel, Dentium and Adin. Patients coming down from Sattadhar and Sola Road can ask which option is planned for them and why it suits their bite. The single tooth implant page lists the implant steps.

“Got my wisdom tooth extracted plus a deep scaling in one sitting. The numbing was effective and I was eating curd and khichdi by evening. Drive from Sattadhar to the clinic is a short ten minutes.”
