Planning treatment for a missing tooth?
Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and bone before discussing an implant, dental bridge or removable denture. For several missing teeth, see our All-on-4 guide and implant-retained overdentures.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a way to safely and reliably replace your missing tooth. Dental Implant Singapore supports artificial teeth, such as dentures, crowns, or bridges.
How does a dental implant work?
A titanium fixture is surgically inserted by an expert into the jawbone beneath the gums, providing a firm foundation to hold the tooth implant in place.
Are they removable?
They can either be permanent or removable. You can choose between suitable options to replace your missing teeth. Consult with us to learn more!
Dental Implants vs. Dentures
Unlike dentures, dental implants won’t slip, click, or cause embarrassing moments for you in public.
Benefits of Dental Implant
Dental Implant Procedure Singapore
1. Consultation
We will assess your oral health, examine your teeth and gums, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for dental implants. We may also take X-rays or perform other imaging tests to evaluate your jawbone structure.
2. Treatment Planning
If you’re deemed eligible for dental implants, we will start developing a personalised treatment plan. Our dentist will discuss the options available to you, including the type of dental implant Bukit Timah, the number of implants needed, and the materials to be used. They will also consider factors such as your overall oral health.
3. Implant Placement
The procedure involves two main stages.
In the first stage, our dentist will surgically place the implant fixture into your jawbone. This is done under local anaesthesia, ensuring you’re comfortable during the procedure.
After making an incision in your gum tissue, a small hole is drilled into the jawbone, and the implant is carefully positioned.
The gum tissue is then stitched back in place, leaving the implant fixture securely in your jawbone.
4. Osseointegration
After implant placement, a crucial healing process called osseointegration takes place. This involves the natural fusion of the implant with the surrounding jawbone.
Over a period of several weeks to months, the bone tissue grows and integrates with the implant, providing a stable foundation for your replacement tooth or teeth.
5. Abutment Placement
Once osseointegration is complete, you’ll return to our clinic for the second stage of the procedure. Our dentist will make a small incision in your gum tissue to expose the implant and attach an abutment. The abutment serves as a connector between the implant fixture and your replacement tooth or crown.
6. Dental Restoration
After the abutment is placed, our dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create a custom-made dental restoration (e.g., a crown, bridge, or denture). This restoration is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth in terms of shape, size, and color.
7. Final Placement
Once the dental restoration is ready, you’ll visit our clinic for the final placement. The restoration is securely attached to the abutment, providing a functional and aesthetically pleasing replacement tooth or teeth.
8. Post-Procedure Care
After the completion of the dental implant procedure, our dentist will provide you with instructions for post-operative care. This may include guidelines on oral hygiene, diet modifications, and follow-up appointments. It’s essential to maintain good oral hygiene, regularly visit your dentist for check-ups, and report any concerns or issues that may arise.
Different Types of Dental Implant Treatments
Implant Surgery Process at Garden Dental Clinic Singapore
At Garden Dental, we utilise an advanced technique called guided implant surgery. It involves using computer technology and 3D imaging to create a customised plan for placing dental implants. With this technique, our dentists can determine the exact position and angle of each implant before the actual surgery. This helps ensure a more accurate and predictable outcome.
If you’re considering dental implants, guided implant surgery is an advanced approach that can improve the accuracy, safety, and aesthetics of your treatment.
How Do I Know If I Am Suitable For Guided Implant Surgery?

Browse Our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Several factors determine it, including overall oral health, jawbone density, gum health, and medical history. Our dentist will assess your individual condition to see if you are a good candidate.
What affects healing and long-term implant care?
Gum health, bone support, medical history, smoking and oral hygiene can affect healing and maintenance needs. Your dentist will explain the risks, suitable treatment options and follow-up care for your own situation. Outcomes vary between patients.
Is the dental implant surgery painful?
The surgery is usually conducted under local anaesthesia, which keeps you numb and comfortable throughout the procedure. Mild soreness and swelling may occur following surgery, but they are normally manageable with over-the-counter pain medicines and cold packs.
How long does a dental implant procedure take?
Same-day implants available at Garden Dental. The duration of the dental implant process can vary depending on specific factors such as the number of implants, the requirement for further surgeries (such as bone grafting), and the patient’s healing ability. On average, the entire process, from implant placement to final restoration, can take several months.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants can last many years, even a lifetime, with proper care and maintenance. The success and durability of implants depend on factors like oral hygiene practices, regular dental checkups, and overall health.
Are dental implants noticeable, or do they look natural?
Dental implants are designed to mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth. The crown or restoration placed on the implant is custom-made to match the color, size, and shape of your existing teeth, ensuring a natural-looking result.
What are the possible risks or consequences of dental implants?
While dental implant operations are generally safe, some dangers include infection, implant failure, nerve damage, or sinus difficulties in some circumstances. Our dental professional will discuss the risks and crucial precautions to reduce risk in your case.
How should I look after my dental implants in Singapore?
Dental implants should be cared for in the same way as natural teeth are. This involves brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups. Our dentist will provide you with particular oral hygiene recommendations and may prescribe specialist instruments or mouth rinses.
How much does a dental implant cost in Singapore?
Our implant package is 1,950 before GST, and that covers the implant surgery and a PFM crown together. Upgrading to a Swiss implant or azirconia crown adds 500 each. Consultation, X-rays, medication and any additional treatment such as an extraction or bone graft are separate, and we quote those before anything is booked.
Can I use Medisave for dental implants in Singapore?
Yes — Garden Dental is MediSave-accredited and we process the claim for you. MediSave may cover up to $1,950 per implant for eligible treatment. How much you can claim depends on your own MediSave balance and withdrawal limits, so we check your specific case at the consultation.
