Dental implant closely restores the function and shape of a missing tooth. It provides a fixed, non-removable solution for tooth replacement.
A dental implant is a medical grade post that is surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw to anchor the custom-made crown that replaces your missing tooth.
It is done by our experienced dentists who have keen interest in dental implants. We utilise the latest in 3D dental technology for precision and careful placement of dental implants and work with master technicians to fabricate custom-made implant crowns.
Why Dental Implant?
- An alternative to replacing missing teeth
- Fixed and non-removable when chewing
- Can be cleaned the same way as your natural teeth
- Does not develop cavities
- Does not anchor on natural teeth for support

The contents of this post do not substitute professional advice. All dental procedures carry certain risks and need to be discussed with the dentist before undertaking any treatments:
Case 1: Dental implant to replace upper missing right tooth, thereby restoring function and aesthetics. Photos were taken at baseline and immediately after insertion of implant porcelain crown.
Case 3: Dental implant bridge to replace unsalvageable upper front teeth due to resorption. The porcelain bridge is anchored onto two dental implants, providing a fixed replacement option. Photos were taken at baseline and immediately after insertion of implant porcelain bridge.
Case 2: Dental implant to replace upper missing left tooth, thereby restoring function and aesthetics. Photos were taken at baseline and immediately after insertion of implant porcelain crown.
Case 4: This patient has been wearing a removable denture to replace her congenitally missing upper right canine. We placed a dental implant and an implant crown as a fixed replacement option, thereby restoring function and aesthetics. Photos were taken at baseline and immediately after insertion of implant porcelain crown.
