It can be complicated.
We try our best to keep it simple

If you have lost your teeth, dental implant treatment can help to replace them.
This helps you to eat and talk better, and also to improve your appearance.

Implant Treatment Workflow

Consultation & taking of records

This involves taking of X-rays, clinical photos and mouldings of your teeth for a detailed clinical and radiographic examination to be performed. Our doctors will explain the procedure and discuss the risks vs benefits of dental implant treatment for your case, including other possible treatment alternatives.

FAQs

Who can benefit from dental implants?

Implants are usually placed in patients older than 18 years of age after the jaw bone has fully developed.

Am I too old for implants?

The good news is that dental implants can be placed in adult patients of any age, as long as patients are medically stable and there is sufficient bone present to support the implant. The overall health of the teeth and gums will also be taken into consideration when assessing one’s suitability for dental implants.

How long do dental implants last?

Studies have shown that around 95% of dental implants are still functional after 10 to 15 years. The longevity of the implants also depends on how the patient cleans and cares for them. It is important to brush and floss well, and to schedule regular dental check-ups with your dentist for the maintenance of your implants.

Is the procedure to place implants painful?

As the area is numbed with local anaesthetic, you should not feel any pain during the dental implant procedure. You may feel pressure at times, but it should not cause you discomfort. After the anaesthetic wears off, patients may experience some discomfort which is usually managed and controlled by the medication prescribed.

Will I experience swelling after the procedure?

You may experience slight swelling after the procedure, which will subside after a few days.

What is the downtime for the procedure?

Depending on the complexity of the procedure, the downtime is usually 2 to 5 days.

Do I need a bone graft?

Not all patients require a bone graft. Patients who do not have adequate bone will need a bone graft to improve the bone support around the implant. Our dental surgeons will be able to advise you further on the timeline, costs, benefits and risks of the procedure.

Is “normal” X-ray enough for me? Do I require 3D X-ray?

Not all patients require 3D X-ray. Patients with certain anatomical limitations e.g. severely resorbed bony ridge due to tooth loss many years ago may require a 3D X-ray for further assessment to determine their suitability to receive implant treatment.

I don’t like hidden costs. May I know clearer upfront what is my total implant cost? How much is Medisave claimable?

At Teeth Q, while every case is different we understand these concerns and actively try our best to keep it clear, simple and fair.
