What is a dental implant?

Another missing tooth replacement option available at our clinic in Singapore, an implant is a titanium fixture placed inside the upper or lower jaw at the site of a missing or lost tooth. The implant is completely buried in the bone and gums and cannot be seen. Only at a later stage is a Crown or “tooth” placed on top of the implant, which you can see & use for chewing.The implant refers to the fixture in the jawbone. It essentially serves as the foundation or “root” of your new tooth.Once placed in, your body will begin to form new bone cells around the implant. These cells will adapt closely to the implant and form a tight connection with it. This process is known as “osseointegration”.Osseointegration can take several months for most people. This ensures the implant is firm and stable in your jaw. The more stable it is, the better, as you will be able to bite and chew hard things for a longer time.When osseointegration is complete, a crown can either be screwed or cemented on top of the underlying implant. At this stage, you can bite, chew, and treat it like a normal tooth. It is ready to use.

Types of Dental Implants

Choosing the right type of dental implant depends on your specific dental condition and needs. Here are the various options available:

All-on-4 Dental Implants / Teeth-in-a-Day

All-on-4 dental implants, also known as teeth-in-a-day, pro arch, or full mouth dental implants, are ideal for patients with multiple missing teeth or a complete arch of missing teeth. This procedure is completed within a single day, where 4 to 6 dental implant screws are placed in the jawbone, followed by a bridge prosthesis, providing a full set of teeth in one visit.

Single Tooth Dental Implants

Single tooth dental implants are perfect for replacing a single missing or damaged tooth. This solution is often needed when a tooth is beyond repair due to decay or is lost due to injury or an accident.

Multi Teeth Dental Implants

Multi teeth dental implants are designed for patients who need several teeth replaced simultaneously. One key advantage is that adjacent teeth are not required as support structures, preserving the integrity of surrounding teeth.

Metal-Free Dental Implants

Metal-free dental implants help prevent further bone loss and gum recession by stimulating the growth and development of the jawbone. These implants function like natural tooth roots, promoting healthy jawbone growth and maintaining facial structure, resulting in a youthful and vibrant appearance.

Zygomatic Dental Implants

Nobel Biocare’s zygomatic implants offer a solution for patients with severe bone loss. Instead of being placed directly into the jawbone, these implants are anchored into the upper jawbone near the zygoma bone, making them suitable for those with significant bone loss.

Tubero Pterygoid Dental Implants

Tubero pterygoid dental implants are designed for patients with insufficient bone mass in the upper jaw for standard implants. These implants are placed at an angle around the upper second molar area, utilizing the denser bone in this region for better support.
Each type of dental implant is tailored to address specific dental issues, ensuring that patients receive the best possible solution for their oral health needs. Consult with your dentist to determine the most suitable option for you.

Dental implants are indicated for anyone in Singapore seeking to replace a missing tooth or teeth. Specifically:

  • If you are looking for a lifelong replacement
  • If you want a replacement which does not affect other healthy teeth in your mouth
  • If you want a replacement which is fixed and does not move in your mouth

Dental Implant Procedure

Follow-up and post-operative care

As with any dental procedure, follow-ups are an important part of the process. We will typically schedule review appointments 2 weeks later, and subsequently every 6 months thereafter. This ensures the implant and crown are constantly monitored, and the prosthesis (crown) is comfortable, functional and long-lasting.

We offer same-day missing tooth replacement services in Singapore. We are able to remove your existing tooth and place a dental implant immediately on the same day.This means you do not have to wait as long for a new tooth, and you will never have to worry about gaps in your mouth or a diminished chewing capacity. At Ashford, we always endeavour to provide you with fast results but also, more importantly, quality results which are pleasing and long lasting.

Advantages of Dental Implants

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants In Singapore

Are dental implants painful?

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.

Are dental implants safe?

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.

Why is there a range of costs for dental implants in Singapore?

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.

Are dental implants covered by Medisave?

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.

How much can I claim from Medisave for implants?

The amount you can claim for dental implants in Singapore varies between individuals. Please get in touch with us for further details.

How long will my dental implant last?

This will rely upon many different factors like the location of the implant, your medical history, your age, habits, your oral hygiene and proper maintenance.One certainty is that long term studies indicate a well-placed implant in the right conditions provides better longevity that other tooth replacement options like a bridge or dentures.
