Do you think that losing a tooth is no big deal? Think again. Once a tooth is extracted, the supporting bone starts "melting" away like ice. Unless there is some form of tooth replacement that gives the bone some work to do, it's going to wither off and leave you with sunken lips/cheeks. Read more about it here.
Warning! Implant Risk Factors
The dental implant industry is full of hype. What can you realistically expect from dental implants. Look here.
Sleeping Implants
Implants are expensive, but you can use your Medisave to offset part of the costs. If you have just lost a tooth and are anxious to halt bone loss but can't afford complete treatment at the moment, we can place a sleeping implant to preserve the bone for you. You can then take your time to restore it. More about sleeping implants here.
Immediate Implant Placement
When is implant treatment non-surgical? When the implant is placed directly into the extraction socket after the tooth has been taken out. Are you a candidate for immediate "non-surgical" implant treatment? Check it out here.
