Dental Implants Centre in Singapore

Not at all. The dental implant placement procedure is very traumatic. This means it is a very minimally invasive procedure. Local anaesthetic is given to the area, so our patients do not feel anything during the procedure.After the procedure, the site can be slightly tender for 1 or 2 days. But in most cases, it will not progress beyond this. We do provide you with medication to ensure smooth and efficient healing. However, the vast majority of our patients in Singapore do not even use the medication as they are in no discomfort after the procedure.

Absolutely. Dental implants have been used for decades in modern dentistry to replace a missing tooth. They are renowned for a high clinical success rate, patient satisfaction and restoring people’s quality of life in Singapore and beyond.

The cost ultimately comes down to 2 factors:

• The implant system being used
• The expertise of the surgeon performing it

There are many implant systems available in the market in Singapore, all of which have advantages and disadvantages.At Ashford, we have selected implant systems based on the criteria that ensure clinical success. One of the chief criteria is that the implant system must have had a significantly long clinical history. As such, Ashford surgeons can study how long the implants have been placed and their survival and success rate.We only use implant systems which carry the longest survival rates with the fewest incidence of complications.Our dentists in Singapore have all undergone postgraduate training for dental implant placements. Thus, we understand how each implant system works and how different people will respond to it.

Dental implants in Singapore are covered by Medisave. If your Medisave is insufficient, you can use the Medisave of an immediate family member, such as your spouse, parents, or child. However, this is subject to approval depending on your account balance. You or the Medisave Account holder will be required to complete and sign the Medisave Authorisation Form.

The best tooth replacement options include dental implants, fixed bridges, removable partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures .

The dental implant procedure involves making an incision in the gums, drilling a hole in the jawbone, and inserting a titanium implant post. After the implant integrates with the bone over several months, an abutment is attached to the post, followed by the placement of a custom-made crown to complete the process .

The denture implant process involves surgically placing implants into the jawbone, followed by attaching dentures to these implants once healing and osseointegration occur, typically taking several months

Tooth implant side effects can include infection, nerve damage, sinus problems, and implant failure due to improper bone integration or loosening

Dental implants are metal screws surgically placed into the jawbone to support artificial teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, effectively replacing missing teeth

The procedure involves multiple steps: implant placement in the jawbone, healing period (3-6 months), abutment attachment, and crown placement. Typically, the entire process can span 5-8 months depending on individual healing. Final crown placement occurs after the implant has integrated with the bone.

The timeline for All-on-4 dental implants typically involves initial placement within 1-3 days, followed by a healing period lasting about 4-6 months for full osseointegration. Final prosthetic attachment and adjustments complete the process over several visits, ensuring optimal fit and function

In many cases, dental implants can be tax deductible if they are deemed necessary for medical purposes. Consult with a tax professional for specific eligibility and guidelines.

Yes, dental implants are designed to feel and function much like natural teeth once they have fully healed and integrated with the jawbone.

The healing process for dental implants generally takes about 3 to 6 months, during which time the implants fuse with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
