Our Treatment Process

Dental Implants are considered as a permanent solution for a patient’s oral rehabilitation journey. They are used to replace missing, failing teeth or replace non-permanent teeth replacement options such as dentures. Such specialised treatment must be done carefully with extreme care. At The Dental Implant Centre, our use of modern digital equipment and materials contribute to the projected outcome and safety of the treatment, in addition to the care undertaken by our team of dedicated dental surgeons and friendly support staff.

Initial Consultation & Treatment Plan

X-rays, 3D Imaging Modelling and detailed examination will be conducted by our surgeons. Discussion on the treatment plan will be provided to on the duration for treatment, the treatment process and post treatment requirements.

Implant Procedure

The implant procedure is performed while the patient is under general anaesthesia. Careful incisions are made in the gums to allow for the gentle insertion of titanium implants into the jawbone. Temporary crown will be fabricated to be placed for aesthetic and functional purpose.

Placement of Your New Crowns

Surgeons will be working with skilled craftsmen at our laboratory to create new, bespoke implant prosthesis while the patients heal after their initial surgery. Once the prosthesis is fitted, a review with our surgeon is arranged to ensure that the outcome is exactly as desired by the patient.
