Will my implant feel like a real tooth?

Yes. Once the crown is attached and you've adjusted to it (usually 2–4 weeks), most patients forget it's not their natural tooth. Unlike dentures, implants are fixed in place, so they won't slip or click. Sensation is different—you won't feel temperature or pain in the implant itself, but you will in the surrounding jaw and gums.

What's the success rate for dental implants in Singapore?

Implant success rates exceed 95% when placed by experienced surgeons and properly maintained. At clinics like TWC Implant & Dental Center and 1728 Dental, which specialize in implants, rates are even higher. Failure usually stems from poor oral hygiene, smoking, or uncontrolled diabetes—all modifiable factors.

Can I use Medisave to pay for my implant?

Extraction and bone grafting are claimable under Medisave if medically necessary. The implant post itself and crown are rarely covered. Check with your clinic—most Jurong clinics can advise at consultation. Out-of-pocket costs vary, but Medisave can reduce your immediate expense by $500–1,500.

What if my jawbone is too thin? Do I need a graft?

Thin bone is common, especially if you've been missing a tooth for years. Bone grafting rebuilds density and takes 3–6 months, adding $1.5–3K to cost. However, 90%+ of grafts integrate successfully. Without it, the implant may fail. Many patients find the extra time and cost worth the security of a permanent solution.

How long do dental implants last?

With good oral hygiene and regular dental visits, implants last 20–30+ years—often a lifetime. The crown may need replacement after 15–20 years due to wear. Implants don't decay, but the bone and gums around them can fail if neglected. Treat it like a natural tooth: brush, floss, and see your dentist twice a year.

Dental Implant Procedure: Step-by-Step Timeline

1
Consultation & Imaging (Week 1)
1 hour
3D CT scan and X-ray to assess jawbone density, implant positioning, and need for bone grafting. Dentist discusses your medical history and expectations. This visit reveals whether bone graft is necessary—don't skip it.
2
Tooth Extraction & Bone Graft (if needed) (Week 2–3)
30–60 minutes
If you have a failing tooth, it's extracted first. Bone graft material is placed immediately if jawbone is thin. You'll be numb throughout. Most people experience mild discomfort for 3–5 days, manageable with ice and over-the-counter pain relief.
3
Implant Placement Surgery (Week 12–16, if graft needed)
45–90 minutes
Titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. Local anaesthesia + twilight sedation is common. You'll feel pressure but no pain. Stitches are removed after 10–14 days. Expect mild swelling for 2–3 days.
4
Osseointegration (3–6 months)
12–24 weeks depending on bone quality
The implant fuses with your bone—this is invisible but critical. You'll wear a temporary tooth during this time. Regular check-ups ensure healing is on track. Don't smoke or skip dental care; both compromise integration.
5
Crown Placement & Bite Adjustment (Month 4–6)
2–3 appointments, 1–2 weeks total
Once implant is stable, the crown (artificial tooth) is attached. Your dentist adjusts the bite and ensures it looks natural. Final impressions ensure your crown fits perfectly and your bite is balanced.

Total timeline: 4–6 months for single implant; longer if bone grafting is required or multiple implants are placed

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants? Find Out Now

Good candidates

Adults with one or more missing teeth and good general health (not uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smokers)
People with adequate jawbone density; if low, bone graft can rebuild it—don't assume you're ineligible
Those committed to daily oral hygiene and regular dental visits (implants need the same care as natural teeth)
Patients who want a permanent, natural-looking solution and can afford the upfront cost or spread payments

May need extra assessment

Smokers or recent quitters: smoking slows healing and raises implant failure risk. Dentist may recommend quitting 2–4 weeks before and after surgery.
Patients with thin jawbone: bone grafting takes extra time and cost, but 90%+ of grafts are successful—absolutely not a deal-breaker.
People with gum disease: must be treated first, but you can still get implants once gums are healthy. Untreated disease causes implant failure.
