Your smile is as unique as you are – and when you’re facing tooth loss, choosing the right restoration makes all the difference. At Dev’s Oral Care, Pune’s leading clinic for dental implants and comprehensive oral care, we believe in empowering you to make informed choices that serve your health, confidence, and lifestyle for years to come.
Losing teeth can feel overwhelming. Patients often share their worries with us: Will it hurt? Will I be able to eat normally again? Will my confidence recover? These are real concerns, so let’s break down the options in a transparent, caring way – just as we do during your first consultation at Dev’s Oral Care.
Both dentures and implants restore your smile, but they work in very different ways.
Dentures are removable prostheses replacing one or many missing teeth. They’re a tried-and-true solution, especially for those seeking a non-surgical approach.
Dental Implants are titanium posts anchored into the jawbone, serving as a permanent foundation for replacement teeth. Dental Implants mimic the look, feel, and function of natural teeth – and at Dev’s Oral Care, we’re proud to offer one of the highest success rates in Pune. Patients from abroad find our clinic suitable for the expertise, cost, hygiene, after-care and hospitality.
Dentures come in several forms:
Modern materials make dentures more comfortable and lifelike, but they have limitations in terms of stability while eating and speaking. Our cosmetic dentistry specialists ensure personalised fitting for every patient, considering your facial structure and bite alignment.
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. At Dev’s Oral Care, our expert implantologists, led by Dr. Kamal Kiswani, perform a wide range of implant procedures – from single implants to complex full-mouth restorations like All-on-4 and All-on-6 systems.
The process involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone through 3D guided implant surgery, allowing it to fuse (osseointegrate) and then mounting a lifelike crown. Unlike dentures, implants aren’t removable; they become part of your smile, preserving bone health and function.
Our clinic’s attention to hygiene and advanced surgical techniques, including digital smile design, ensures you receive safe, effective, and long-lasting results. We also handle complex cases requiring bone augmentation or sinus lifts.

Did you know? Most dental implants, when cared for well, can remain strong for 15 years or longer, while dentures generally require replacement after 7-10 years. This is why we focus extensively on implantology at our Pune clinic.
Many patients ask us about costs during their initial consultation. Here’s the reality:
The long-term value of implants often surpasses dentures when you factor in:
When we sit down together for your personalised treatment planning, we’ll help you understand the total financial picture, including insurance options specific to Pune and financing plans that work for your budget and lifestyle. Our geriatric dentistry specialists also help senior patients navigate Medicare and insurance considerations.
Dentures are usually ready in a few weeks with minimal downtime. Some soreness is normal as you adjust, and our team provides detailed care instructions for optimal comfort.
Implants require a more structured healing process:
At Dev’s Oral Care, your comfort is our focus. We use guided surgery techniques and provide comprehensive post-operative care. Our root canal specialists often work alongside our implant team when treating complex cases involving infection.
Just as every patient’s journey is unique, your recovery with either option depends on your oral health, age, and daily routine. We’ll help you plan every step together, ensuring you’re never without support.
Eating your favourite foods. Speaking with clarity. Smiling confidently in every social situation – these are just some of the transformations our patients report after choosing dental implants.
The Psychological Impact: Many patients tell us that tooth loss affected their self-confidence more than they expected. Our cosmetic dentistry approach considers not just function, but how your new smile will make you feel.
Dietary Freedom: With implants, patients can enjoy:
Social Confidence: No more worrying about dentures slipping during important conversations or avoiding certain foods at social gatherings.
Dentures, especially with expert fitting from our prosthodontic specialists, can restore function, but implants provide a level of confidence and convenience closer to natural teeth. Our patient testimonials highlight not only improved appearance, but also renewed joy in daily life.
