Dental implants can also be done for multiple missing teeth or all teeth missing. In these cases, dental implants serve as anchors for fixed a fixed bridge or a denture. The cost of dental implants in India varies based on many factors. Some of them are patient-related factors and some are dental implant/tooth replacement material related factors.
