• Full mouth ‘All-on-4’ dental implant procedure: $1,000,000-1,500,000

**Complications such as a weak, thin, or shallow bone structure requiring bone grafting may increase the listed prices. The only way to determine this is by having booking a consultation with our dental team.

At first glance, dental implants may appear expensive, however, this treatment option actually lasts the longest out of all tooth replacement options – making it the most cost-effective and reliable solution.

The dental implant procedure is basically a three-phase process, which can differ for each person. Typically the entire process takes from 5 to 9 months from start to finish.

Sometimes, adults can lose their teeth due to gum disease, cavities, tooth decay, infection, or accidents. Missing a tooth without replacement, overtime, can cause a domino effect of damage and devastating issues to your whole oral environment.

Here are 5 things that happens to you when you don’t replace missing teeth with dental implants:

• Shifted teeth: Just like trees naturally grow toward sunlight, teeth naturally shift towards empty space. When you lose a tooth and have an empty space, the neighbouring tooth, over time, will collapse and drift into the empty space.
• Elongation or over-eruption of the opposing tooth into the space: Normally, our upper and lower teeth come together in a harmonious bite. When you lose a tooth, the opposing tooth (upper/lower) will drift and grow too long into the empty space.
• Crooked teeth and appearance: Because your teeth have shifted or grew longer than they were supposed to, your smile and bite will end up looking misaligned and crooked.
• Biting and chewing functions: A normal bite involves properly aligned teeth coming together harmoniously when you eat or chew. When you have missing teeth, more stress is now loaded onto the other adjacent or neighbouring teeth which becomes exhausting. Your chewing and food-grinding efficiency also decreases because of missing teeth. This will affect your digestion in the long run, as chewing is the first step in our digestive process. You might now find yourself avoiding firm, chewy or crunchy foods because they are difficult to chew.
• Loss of bone structure and loss of face, cheek and lip support: When you pull out a tooth, bone resorption and loss of bone mass occurs. In just the first year of tooth loss, there is 25% decrease in bone width. When the bone mass thins down and gradually collapse, it pulls the attached muscles and tissues with it. This can gradually change your facial structure because your facial muscles are connected to strategic points of your bone structure. Overtime, these changes together will cause your face to look lopsided.

Living with missing teeth can degrade your overall health. The longer you wait to address a missing back tooth, the worse the consequences become and also the more costly they may get.

With proper care recommendations and maintenance, dental implants can last for a lifetime. No other tooth replacement option has the ability to last that long.
(e.g. dentures or a dental bridge which require replacing every 5-7 years.)

Dental implants should be cared for like natural teeth – requiring regular cleanings, dental checkups, and careful home care to prolong their lifespan. Brushing lightly with a soft nylon brush and flossing daily around your dental implants can prevent infections from occurring. Your dentist may recommend using an interdental toothbrush or floss to clean hard-to-reach areas around your teeth, gums, and implants.

Getting professional dental cleanings can help remove bacteria from below the gum line and prevent infection and ensure the long-term stability and function of your implant.
