Dental Implant

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


Cost: $3,300–$3,800*

*Depends on implant system used. Partial Medisave claims available for eligible surgical components.

Why do it?

  • Restores your smile and confidence

  • Lets you eat and speak comfortably

  • Prevents jawbone shrinkage after tooth loss

With proper care, implants can last many years and feel almost like your own teeth.

Bone grafting

In some cases, the jawbone may not be strong enough to support an implant.

A bone graft helps strengthen the area by adding bone material, allowing your body to build a more solid foundation over time.

This is only needed in certain cases. If required, it helps ensure your implant is stable and long-lasting.

Cost: $400 to $850 (if required)
