Tooth implants

[Ironside]

They have to wear retainer for lifetime. If not teeth would be crooked again.


Notice sinkies kids have crooked teeth ..and their teeth always stained with plaque.I feel the kids have bad habits & poor oral hygiene


I don allow my kids to have pacifier...restrain kid from bitting nails , putting things in mouth to bite (bitting utensils after eating) , pushing their teeth when there r both adult n baby teeth, don let them eat hard candy, using fingers to touch their baby n adult teeth ... ...so far my teenage son teeth is straight.

I have seen two current ministers' photo, their teeth also full of plague built up.

I already had 3 implants (2 molar 1 incisor), my 4th implants (incisor) in Dec, my 4th anchor already drilled in around Aug2025, waiting 4mth for the bone growth around it for strong grip.

Painless mostly, the only pain I got was from the 3 anesthetic needle poking before the implants to make my jaw numb.

My second dentures for incisor, without dentures I can't bite noodles and veggies, or cut meat into slices.

Most pain came from heart, after receiving the bills..

Sent from my friend's mobile phone.

Wow. Actually I'm planning to do a few implants. Younger that time got abscess on one of my molars but no money to do root canal so extract. Now want to replace the tooth also

It’s ridiculous how expensive dental care is in SG.

First world country cannot even provide decent affordable dental care for its citizens.

Rm8k....

Teeth may look 'healthy' and 'ok' but the interior can be hollow = can chip if force of biting on a harder food is applied at the weakest spot.

yeah kenna once when bite on stone fruits
now i will avoid nuts, stone fruits & anything hard

Extracted how long liao? Now still can do? The surrounding teeth got become crooked?

we also know it is good to have it filled. everyone knows that

but the 3-4k bill is not ok, if i have the extra 3-4k to do my tooth, i would rather spend it on home and family first.

just really need gov to let us use more medisave and offset the tooth implant bill, $1250 max is just not enough

It's expensive. But it's also quite sad that most people will spend a few k on holidays, but resist spending the amount on healthcare.

Wasting money on holidays is the most kumgong.

I have same experience.

Ended up, pulled out the whole RCT-ed tooth, then finally able to see the source of the infection was the decay/rot in the base of the tooth. That's why the bacteria kept coming up to the surface of the gum to infect the gum. The decay/rot part might be small, not visible on X-ray.

Once the root of the tooth rots, no way to save it anymore. Pulling it out is cheap and it solves your recurring gum infection problem.

Root canal not properly done to clear the internal infection?

 

[Starabby]

what material u use ah

the Dentist said is Korea Titanium

 

[Medicated Oil]

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?

Saw your thread about your tooth issue.
Did you manage to perform any dental implant ?

 

[Medicated Oil]

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

Long term issue is Bo gay...

Just to check with you.
Did you go to NDC straight to book your appointment ?
Or you have to get referral from polyclinic ?
And did you manage to resolve your tooth issues ?

Implant not painful
Is the bills that is

 

[Laneige]

i heard the elderly said if the bone no gd the tooth might not be able to hold also
so best to seek few opinions
i find our dentists not a lot r gd
some r more interested in earninig $$$
or they r somehow trained in this old sch method
if tooth can rescue better rescue.
if not at their mercy for even long time. pui

 

[CanberraRamenFloor]

If implant in jb 13k rm is same as national dental center 4k sgd liao.

Sian my upper front tooth general dentist all not confident to do, refer periodontist who quote 6.1k

 

[born2fly]

Wah, molar implant not cheap leh. My one at Q&M cost me around $3.5k after Medisave. The process okay lah, a bit uncomfortable but not too painful. Now like real tooth, no issues for past 2 years. Just go to a reputable one, don't anyhow find cheap dentist.

Which branch? Any dentist in particular?

 

[CanberraRamenFloor]

Greenlife 4k

i just did a upper left molar tooth implant like 3 months ago, started in november with the drilling and stuff. then with the metal screw on for about 3 months, feb this year went back and then took the cover out and then did the crown measurement and i opt in for screw retain, so next time if the tooth got problem, can easily take out for maintenance, add SGD100 , and then the crowning PFM $250, total i spend $350 cash

the remaining ops and all use medisave to deduct at $1950.

honestly speaking , the 1st visit process took 15 mins only to inject, break gum drill hole , then 2nd visit longer cause crown and screw measurement, then 3rd visit fastest, just unscrew put crown n screw back,

now the implant with me for last 3-4 months, at first not comfortable, cause feels the crown is tilting whenever i bite on food, but after like 2 weeks, it kind of adapt and stay where it is liao then now feel like natural tooth.

i wanted to do my lower righ molar tooth which was extracted earlier this year also, cause my root canal failed, the tooth broke before i could put on crown, so had to extract it, now empty liao , then did xray, end up found out that not enough bone on that area, need to do bone grafting, 2.8k , meidisave canonly use 1k so so, the rest all cash, alamak, since not affecting my biting, i on hold first,

for my case NDC's RCT failed then I go private to 'settle' with implant

Then, your dental bill should be damn impressive if you are not covered by insurance.
