Dental Implant Cost in Serangoon — What to Budget

Dental Implant Procedure — What to Expect Step by Step
- 1
Consultation & Imaging (CT Scan)
1 hourYour dentist takes a 3D CT scan to measure jawbone density, nerve position, and sinus proximity. They discuss your medical history, medication, and smoking status (which affects healing). This appointment identifies whether bone grafting is needed and confirms you are a suitable candidate.
- 2
Bone Grafting (if required)
45 minutes to 1 hour; 3-4 month healing before next stepIf jawbone is insufficient, synthetic or donor bone is grafted to rebuild volume. This is done under local anaesthesia or sedation. You'll wait 3–4 months for the bone to fuse before the implant can be placed. Without this step, the implant may fail to integrate.
- 3
Implant Placement Surgery
30–60 minutes per implantUnder local anaesthesia (or twilight sedation for nervous patients), the surgeon makes a small incision in the gum and drills a precise hole in the jawbone. The titanium implant post is screwed in place, then the gum is sutured over it. Patients commonly describe minimal pain during the procedure—sharp drills cause vibration but not cutting sensation.
- 4
Osseointegration (Bone Fusion)
3–6 monthsOver 3–6 months, the titanium implant fuses with living bone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, you'll wear a temporary tooth or go without to allow undisturbed healing. Regular check-ups monitor progress; avoid hard foods and smoking, which slow fusion.
- 5
Crown Placement & Final Restoration
2–3 weeks from abutment placement to crown deliveryOnce the implant is fully integrated, an abutment (connector piece) is attached. Your dentist takes impressions for a custom ceramic or zirconia crown, which is cemented or screwed onto the abutment. You now have a fully functional, natural-looking tooth that looks and feels like the real thing.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants? Real Talk About Your Options
Good candidates
- Adults 40–65 with one or more missing teeth, good overall health, and sufficient jawbone density to support an implant
- Patients with missing teeth who are committed to excellent oral hygiene, regular brushing, flossing, and annual dental check-ups
- People currently wearing ill-fitting dentures or bridges who want a permanent, low-maintenance solution they can forget about
- Smokers or former smokers willing to quit or reduce smoking (smoking delays bone healing but doesn't disqualify you)
May need extra assessment
- Uncontrolled diabetes or gum disease — requires treatment first; implants work well once your mouth is healthy
- Insufficient jawbone — bone grafting ($800–$2,000 extra) can build up bone, but adds 3–4 months to treatment timeline
- Bisphosphonate medications (for osteoporosis) — dentist may request imaging to assess bone quality; implants are usually still possible with careful timing
