Replacing Missing Teeth
Restore Function & Confidence
Dental Bridge
When a tooth is missing, a dental bridge can restore your smile and help you chew and speak properly. Bridges are a reliable solution that “bridges” the gap using artificial teeth anchored to your natural teeth or implants.
What Happens During the Bridge Process?
Preparing the Teeth
Your dentist will shape the teeth next to the gap to act as anchors for the bridge. Local anesthesia ensures this step is comfortable and pain-free.Making an Impression
An impression of your teeth is taken to create a custom bridge that fits well and matches the colour of your natural teeth.Temporary
While your permanent bridge is being made in our lab, a temporary protective crown is placed on your teeth.Placing the Permanent Bridge
At your next visit, the temporary crowns are removed, and your custom bridge is cemented into place. Your dentist will check the fit, bite, and appearance to ensure it feels natural.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term, natural-looking option for replacing missing teeth. They use small titanium posts placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth.
Cost: $3,300 onwards
(partially medisave claimable)
What to Expect
Placing the Implant
Your dentist will numb the area with local anesthesia and carefully insert the implant into your jawbone. A healing period of 2–3 months allows the implant to fuse with the bone.Shaping the Gums
Once fused, a small healing cap is attached to the implant to shape the gums and prepare for the final crown.Making Your Custom Crown (Tooth)
At your next visit, the healing cap is removed and an impression is taken to create a custom crown that matches your natural teeth.Placing the Final Crown
The permanent crown is secured to the implant. X-rays are taken to confirm a precise fit.
Dental implants are also partially claimable under your Medisave.
