What it is
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone that acts like a natural tooth root and supports a crown, bridge, or full-arch set of teeth. Implants look, feel, and work like natural teeth.
Simple to advanced cases
Dr. Prashanthy is a Board Certified Diplomate of the International Congress of Oral Implantology (ICOI) and places simple, complex, and advanced implants — from a single missing tooth to full-mouth rehabilitation, including cases that need bone grafting.
Healthy gums first
As a periodontist, she makes sure the gums and bone are healthy before and after placement, which is key to implants lasting for many years.
Frequently asked questions
How long do dental implants last?
With healthy gums, good home care, and regular check-ups, implants can last for many years and often a lifetime.
Is getting a dental implant painful?
Placement is done under local anaesthetic. Most patients report less discomfort than they expected, similar to a tooth extraction.
Can I get implants if I have bone loss?
Often yes. Bone grafting can rebuild the jawbone so an implant can be placed.
Who places dental implants in Kuwait?
Dr. Prashanthy R Prasad, a periodontist and board-certified implantologist (Diplomate ICOI) with 14 years of practice in Kuwait, places implants at Blue Clinic Dental, Mahboula.
