I feel you... I broke 2 molars and went to NDC... but each cost 8K... I no monies....

Long term issue is Bo gay...

Many years ago, I spent more than 10k plus on 2 implants and both fell off after a while.
You need to check with your dentist if you have enough bone to support the implants otherwise go for dentures.

Ya... they use premium implant... and it's 8K each...

i went with titanium ( most functional ), since molar ( at the back - no one see except ur wife or small 3 )

What's the normal timeline? Did you all have any issues with eating while waiting for the section to heal?

Below is mine that was delayed a bit due to covid restrictions then.



I don't remember having any issues eating while waiting.

What is the damage?

I have done 3 implants last year. A couple with bone graft. 1 of it is molar. Not sure if I can post the dental clinic here but the rates are reasonable and medisave claimable.
PM if need more info.

can fall off if didn't fit / assess properly.

I know of someone's fell off coz not properly fitted, then she went to another dental specialist to re-fit and then OK.

There shouldn't be any pain, other than the ant-bite discomfort of the anesthesia injection, if the dental specialist is a good one.

*with modern dental advancement, most if not all dental treatments should be relatively painless. If a dentist causes pain = one is likely in the wrong hands.

**I was so fearful of deep gum cleaning (infection due to receding gum) before I went for it. Was super surprised that the process was relatively painless.

I understand what you mean especially with current advancement in medical tech but the idea stills kinda spook me

May i know your age range with the need of bone graft (that I assume more for people above 60 years old)?

Anyone done a tooth implant before? For molar.

I have a broken molar and the dentist is suggesting this.

What was your personal experience like and what was the final overall cost?

Any long term issues?

Recommend it.

But likely to do in Malaysia.
The end to end cost here can be a bit steep about 4-5k per implant and iirc cannot claim medisave.

In Msia also 5K but MYR.


CC instalment also siong, cannot earn points.

When need to do, have to 硬着头皮上。

The pain that I 'imagined' in my head for deep gum cleaning, not even 1% of my imagination came true during the actual procedure.

Imagination is always powderful.

Deep clean your gum first.

If your crown oredi cracked, I would suggest just do implant else the infection will just keep recurring.

*crown will be more lasting if one can take good care of it, meaning avoid eating crispy, hard food to minimise gradually chipping the crown that eventually will chip/crack. So those who have more discipline maybe more suitable for root canal / crown route.

i also got one molar tooth in upper left that broke since i was 18 years old,

broke half, did not have money to go dental to fix it, let it rot n continue to broke b chip off as years pass by, almost 10 years later, the gum start to inflammed, the tooth chip off until no more left, only left the leg in the root, so surgical removal n take out.

now is empty there, dentist also suggest tooth implant, but when i hear the price 3k after medisave , i siam far far away

Yes

The main issue is expensive

Once you know the price, most likely will not do

Mine got metal crowning done and no crack on the molar.
But the side of the gum just swell up with a bum, like last time before I did this RC. I am thinking is it worth to redo the RC and crowning with full cost? Or should I just do implant? These are some options provided by the dentist. Just want this problem to be solved once and for all.

Yes

they say never do, the tooth from the left n right will one day also crooked , cause the middle no support.

then end up all will spoil as i grow older, duno got so serious anot, maybe just a threat to make u spend that 3k

Go to a dentist to get it checked

Most likely the base also rot, then not possible to do RCT again, since the base no longer strong

Late 50s

if you can, drink a glass of high calcium milk / soya milk daily bah. This age will continue to lose bone mass that will affect teeth and bones.
