Losing a tooth can affect more than just your appearance—it impacts your ability to chew, speak, and maintain oral health. Enter dental implants, the gold standard in tooth replacement. If you’re considering implants in Singapore, here’s everything you need to know.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are surgically placed titanium screws that mimic natural tooth roots and securely support crowns, bridges, or dentures. Over time, they fuse with the jawbone—a process called osseointegration—providing unmatched strength and stability
Key Benefits of Dental Implants
- Look and feel like natural teeth—perfectly matched crowns and restored bite force
- Prevent bone loss—implants stimulate the jawbone and help preserve facial structure
- Maintain adjacent teeth—unlike bridges, dental implants don’t require altering healthy neighboring teeth
- Stable and non-slip—no adhesives, no slipping, just confidence
- Long-lasting—with proper care, implants can last a lifetime
Who Makes a Good Candidate?
You may be a great fit if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth
- Possess sufficient bone density—or are willing to have bone grafting
- Maintain healthy gums
- Are in good general health
- Don’t smoke—increased smoking can impair healing
Dental Implant Procedure: Step by Step
- Initial Consultation & Assessment
X-rays or 3D scans evaluate your bone structure and planning needs. - Preparatory Procedures (if needed)
Includes tooth extraction or bone grafting to build a strong foundation. - Implant Placement Surgery
The titanium implant is inserted into your jaw under local anesthesia. - Osseointegration Phase (3–6 months)
The implant fuses with bone, creating a stable base - Abutment & Crown Placement
A connector (abutment) is attached, followed by a custom-made crown. - Aftercare & Maintenance
Brush, floss, and visit us regularly—implants need similar care as natural teeth
Risks & Considerations
Implants have a 95‑98% success rate, but potential risks include:
- Infection or implant failure
- Nerve damage or sinus issues
- Peri-implantitis (inflammation around the implant)
- Potential need for replacement crowns over time
