Dental Implant in Singapore

Replace Missing Teeth and Restore Everyday Function

Losing a tooth can affect more than your smile. It can make chewing harder, change how you speak, and over time, the jawbone in the gap can begin to shrink.

A dental implant is a fixed way to replace a missing tooth. A small post is placed in the jaw to hold a natural-looking replacement tooth, helping restore how you eat and speak. For eligible patients, the surgical part of the treatment is MediSave-claimable.

If you are considering a tooth implant in Singapore, our team is here to talk you through your options.

What Is a Dental Implant and 
Why Might You Need One?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once healed, it supports a fixed crown or dental bridge that looks and works like a natural tooth.

You might need a dental implant if you have lost a tooth through injury, decay, or gum disease, or if a bridge or denture is no longer fitting well. Implants can replace a single missing tooth or several, depending on your needs.

A dentist will assess your teeth, gums, and jawbone to check whether an implant is suitable for you, as it depends on having enough healthy bone to support the post.

Types of Dental Implant Treatments dePacific Dental Offers

The right type of dental implant treatment depends on how many teeth are missing and the condition of your jawbone. dePacific offers single tooth implants, multiple tooth implants, and implant-supported bridges or dentures. Dental implant treatment starts from $4,000 before GST, with the final cost depending on your case.

A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth with a post and a crown, without affecting the teeth on either side. It is a common option for a single gap.

When several teeth are missing, multiple implants or an implant-supported bridge can replace them. A bridge uses a small number of implants to support several replacement teeth in a row.

For patients missing most or all of their teeth, an implant-supported denture uses a few implants to hold a full set of replacement teeth more securely than a traditional denture.

Factors Affecting Dental Implant Cost in Singapore

The cost of a dental implant in Singapore depends on several things, so the final price varies from patient to patient. The main factors include:

  • Type of implant: A single tooth implant, an implant-supported bridge, and a full-arch option each involve different amounts of work and materials, so they are priced differently.
  • Implant material: Implants come in different brands and materials, and the crown fitted on top can be made from different materials too. Higher-grade or branded options usually cost more than standard ones.
  • Number of implants: Replacing several teeth needs more implants, which increases the total.
  • Treatment complexity: More complex cases, such as those needing extra preparation or careful planning, usually take more time, which affects the cost.

Your dentist will confirm the likely cost for your case after an assessment, so you know what to expect before treatment begins.

The Dental Implant Procedure:
Things to Expect

  1. 1

    Assessment and imaging.

    Step 1

    Your dentist checks the health of your teeth, gums, and jawbone, and takes diagnostic imaging, such as an X-ray, to plan the treatment. This helps confirm whether you have enough bone to support an implant.

  2. 2

    Implant placement surgery.

    Step 2

    The implant post is placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Local anaesthesia numbs the area during the surgery. Some soreness and swelling afterwards is normal.

  3. 3

    Healing period.

    Step 3

    The implant then needs time to fuse with the bone, a process called osseointegration. This often takes around 2 to 3 months, though it can take longer depending on the person.

  4. 4

    Crown placement and bite adjustment.

    Step 4

    Once the implant has healed, a dental crown is fitted onto it and adjusted so your bite feels comfortable. The crown is matched to blend in with your other teeth.

  5. 5

    Follow-up review.

    Step 5

    A follow-up visit in the weeks after treatment lets your dentist check that the area is healing well. Regular check-ups afterwards help keep the implant in good condition.

Dental Implant Subsidies

Dental implants are not fully subsidised, but you may be able to reduce the cost through government schemes, mainly MediSave.

MediSave: The surgical portion of dental implant placement can be claimed through MediSave, up to $1,950 per implant for eligible Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. This covers the surgical placement of the implant only. The crown and other restorative parts are not MediSave-claimable, as MediSave applies to procedures classified as surgery. The exact amount depends on how your procedure is classified, and your dentist will confirm what you can claim before treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions About dePacific Dental Implant Treatment

What are the benefits of having dental implants?

Dental implants replace missing teeth with a fixed, natural-looking option. They let you chew and speak more comfortably, help preserve the jawbone, and do not rely on the neighbouring teeth for support the way a bridge does. With good care, they are a long-term solution.

What are the risks associated with dental implant surgery?

As with any surgery, dental implant treatment carries some risks. These include infection at the surgical site, injury to nearby structures, and the implant failing to fuse if the bone does not heal well. Your dentist will explain the risks for your case before treatment.

Will my dental implant look like a natural tooth?

Yes. The crown fitted onto the implant is matched to the shape and shade of your other teeth, so it should blend in. Most people find it looks and feels similar to a natural tooth.

Is it possible to place dental implants right after a tooth extraction?

In some cases, yes. When conditions are suitable, a tooth can be removed and an implant placed into the socket at the same visit, known as immediate implant placement. This is not right for everyone, so your dentist will assess whether it suits your situation.

Can I get a dental implant if I have severe bone loss?

Often, yes, though you may need a bone graft first. Where there is not enough bone to support an implant, a graft can build up the area, and it is usually left to heal for several months before the implant is placed. Your dentist will advise if this applies to you.

What is the recovery time after dental implant surgery?

Recovery varies from person to person. Some soreness and swelling is normal for a few days after surgery. The implant then fuses with the bone over the following months before the final crown is fitted. Your dentist will give you aftercare advice for your case.

What can I eat after getting a dental implant?

Stick to soft foods for the first few days and avoid chewing on the treated side while it settles. Steer clear of hard, crunchy, or very hot foods early on. You can usually return to your normal diet as the area heals, guided by your dentist.

How do I care for and maintain my dental implant?

Care for your implant much like a natural tooth. Brush twice a day, floss around it, and keep up with regular dental check-ups so your dentist can monitor it. Good daily cleaning helps the implant and gums stay healthy over the long term.

What are the available payment methods at dePacific Dental?

We accept cash, PayNow, and major credit cards. Payment options and any available instalment arrangements can be discussed at the consultation.
