Dental implants · Vasant Vihar, New Delhi
Dental implants at Sterling in Vasant Vihar, South Delhi, start at ₹40,000 per implant (about £310 or US$420), with the crown from ₹15,000. Every case begins with a CBCT 3D scan and is led by Dr. Tarun Kumar Giroti, who has placed 12,000+ implants.
How it works
01
A titanium or ceramic (zirconia) screw placed in the jawbone, acting as the new root.
02
A connector on the post that rises above the gum line to hold the crown.
03
A custom, natural-looking tooth attached to the abutment, designed in Sterling's in-house lab.
Who it is for
Your options
Replaces one missing tooth without touching the teeth beside it.
Four implants supporting a full, fixed arch of teeth. Suits most patients with adequate bone density.
Six implants for a full fixed arch, when a case needs extra support.
Also available: multiple implants, immediate-loading implants, bone grafting and sinus lift, planned from your CBCT scan.
| Titanium | Ceramic (zirconia) | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Metal implant with decades of clinical use | Metal-free (ceramic) implant |
| Best for | Most patients: proven, well-tracked results | Metal sensitivities, or a preference for metal-free |
| Look | A faint grey shadow is possible at the gumline in thin gum tissue | No metal shadow |
Ceramic implants are part of Sterling's holistic approach to dentistry. About ceramic implants
The procedure
Every stage is planned up front. You leave the first visit with fixed temporary teeth; the final bridge follows on a second visit of about two weeks once the implants have healed.
“A full-arch case used to mean months without teeth. With CBCT, CAD/CAM and our in-house lab working together, most patients now leave their first visit with fixed teeth in under two weeks.”
Your dental history, concerns and goals.
A detailed view of the implant site, bone density and surrounding structures.
The implant position is mapped precisely with CAD/CAM before surgery.
Placed under local anaesthesia, with your comfort managed at every step; sedation is available if you want it.
The implant gradually fuses with the jawbone.
Made in Sterling's in-house lab and checked for bite and comfort.
Timeline
Usually a few months from placement to the final crown, most of it healing time. A full arch takes two trips: 7–14 days for fixed temporary teeth, then about two weeks for the final bridge, 3–6 months later.
1 · Day 1
Examination, a 3D scan and a written plan with the implant system and the cost. The consultation is ₹1,000; the CBCT scan or any X-ray is charged separately.
2 · When you are ready
Under local anaesthesia; sedation is available. If a graft is needed first, it usually heals for about 4–6 months.
3 · A few months
The bone grows onto the implant. A same-day crown is possible in some cases, when the bone allows.
4 · After healing
Made in Sterling's in-house laboratory and checked for bite and comfort.

An implant is the only one of the three that replaces the tooth from the root, which is why it usually lasts longest and does the least to the teeth around it.

Patient stories
Questions
Placement is done under local anaesthesia, so most patients feel pressure rather than pain, and some soreness for a few days afterwards is normal. Every step, from your first call to your final review, is built around your comfort, and sedation is available for anxious patients.
A single implant usually takes a few months from placement to final crown, most of it healing time. Full-arch cases at Sterling take two visits: fixed temporary teeth in 7–14 days, using CBCT, microscopes and CEREC technology together, then the final bridge on a second visit of about two weeks, 3–6 months later, once the implants have healed.
Dr. Tarun Kumar Giroti, who has placed 12,000+ implants as lead surgeon, in more than 31 years of practice, leads implant treatment at Sterling. He is a Key Opinion Leader for Nobel Biocare and Alpha-Bio, trained with Dr. Paulo Malo (All-on-4) in Lisbon and at Nobel Biocare symposia in Tokyo, Gothenburg and New York. The wider team has completed 15,150+ implant cases.
A single implant replaces one missing tooth. All-on-4 and All-on-6 use four or six implants to support a full, fixed arch, for patients missing most or all of their teeth.
Yes. Ceramic (zirconia) implants are completely metal-free, which makes them the right choice for patients with metal sensitivities or a preference to avoid metal.
At Sterling, a single implant is from ₹40,000 (about £310 or US$420) depending on the implant system, and All-on-4 is from ₹3,50,000 per arch. The implant price does not include the crown: a metal-ceramic crown is ₹15,000 and a zirconia full-ceramic crown ₹20,000. The type and number of implants and whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed change the total, so your exact quote is given in writing after a CBCT scan.
A first implant consultation is ₹1,000; a CBCT scan or any X-ray is charged separately (clinic fee as of 28 October 2026).
No. The implant price does not include the crown: a metal-ceramic crown is ₹15,000 and a zirconia full-ceramic crown ₹20,000. Your written quote lists the implant, abutment, crown and any grafting separately.
Yes. Every implant case at Sterling begins with a CBCT 3D scan, so the bone, nerves and sinus are mapped and the implant position is planned before treatment, not decided at the chair.
Safety depends on the clinic: an experienced, registered surgeon, a CBCT scan and digital plan, a recognised international implant system, a written quote, and a clear aftercare plan. A 2019 systematic review estimated that about 96% of implants survive 10 years; results vary by patient and case, and no clinic can guarantee an individual outcome.
At Sterling, a Straumann implant is ₹60,000 and a Nobel Biocare implant ₹60,000, crown separate. Every system Sterling uses has its own page with what it suits and what it costs.

Most adults with missing teeth are, if there is enough jawbone or it can be rebuilt with a graft, and the gums are healthy. Smoking, diabetes, some bone medicines and radiotherapy to the jaw need more careful planning. The CBCT scan and examination at your consultation give you a clear answer.
Yes, this is common at Sterling, which treats patients from 97+ countries. Full-arch cases fit into two trips: about 7–14 days for the implants and fixed temporary teeth, then about two weeks for the final bridge, 3–6 months later.
