Patients regularly fly to Ark Dental Global from the UK, USA, Australia, UAE and Canada specifically for dental implants. The reason: Swiss-grade quality at 60-80% lower cost than home countries.
Why India?
India isn't cheap because the work is inferior. India is cheap because:
- Lower overhead costs (real estate, salaries, insurance)
- No insurance bureaucracy adding markup
- Strong dental education (AIIMS, Manipal, others producing world-class clinicians)
- Direct material sourcing from premium European labs
What Drives Implant Pricing
1. Implant Brand
Straumann (Switzerland) — the global gold standard, 98%+ success rate over 10 years. What we use at Ark Dental Global.
Nobel Biocare (Sweden) — equally premium, slightly different design philosophy.
Generic Asian implants — significantly cheaper but lower long-term success rates.
2. Surgical Approach
Conventional 3-month healing vs immediate-loading 'same-day' implants. Same-day costs more but eliminates the temporary tooth period.
3. Restoration Material
The crown that goes on the implant: PFM crown (basic) vs zirconia vs IPS e.max (premium aesthetic).
What's Included in an Honest Quote
- 3D CBCT scan
- Implant fixture + abutment
- Surgical placement
- Healing period check-ups
- Final crown
- Lifetime warranty (Straumann)
Red Flags to Avoid
Be cautious of quotes significantly below market: this usually means generic implants, no warranty, or 'crown extra' surprise additions. At Ark Dental Global, every implant quote is locked, written, and includes everything — no surprises.
