WHAT ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental Implant is a prosthesis that replaces a missing tooth or multiple teeth. The procedure replicates the tooth and its root with a stable titanium structure and then topped with a tooth-like crown.
In Dentists Co, your Dental Implants are placed through a precise guided implant surgery by our friendly dentists!

WHAT IS A GUIDED IMPLANT SURGERY?
We utilise many forms of technology to bring about an almost painless procedure of placing Dental Implants. Guided Implant Surgery involves a reverse workflow whereby we establish the ideal position of the tooth followed by virtual planning of the ideal position of the dental implant. Thereafter, the surgical guides are 3D printed to aid our doctors in placing the implants accurately.
With Guided Implant Surgery, we are able to place the Implant in without raising any gingival flaps. With just a tiny puncture needed to fit the dental implant, you will face much lesser post-surgery discomfort.

PROCESS OF GETTING DENTAL IMPLANTS
The dental implant procedure spans across multiple visits that are usually several months apart.
-
First Appointment
A detailed consultation will be done with our doctors where it may take up to an hour depending on your condition. Full records consisting of a 3D teeth scanning and Cone Beam Cytography (CBCT) radiograph will be taken to formulate the best treatment plan for you.
-
Second Appointment
The finalized treatment plan will be presented to you with detailed discussion regarding the entire treatment. Once the proposed plan has been approved, a 3D Surgical Guide will be printed to use during the procedure.
-
Third Appointment
The Surgical Guide used will greatly reduce the surgical time and this will benefit both doctor and patient. Post-surgery care instructions will be given and most of our patients undergoing this procedure will experience minimal discomfort and at most taking a dosage of Paracetamol.

After Implant Placement
After 3-4 months, we'll have you back at the clinic to take a series of X-rays to ensure there is good bone formation around the Implant before confirming the final placement of the crowns. In Dentists Co, we only provide the best screw-retained Zirconia crowns which are proven to give the best aesthetic results as well as long-term survivability.
USING TECHNOLOGY FOR YOUR DENTAL IMPLANTS
3D Teeth Scanning with iTERO
With our iTero Element Scanner, we can digitally capture a detailed 3D model of your teeth, gums and biting positions. It gives us the immediate ability to assess whether or not we've adequately prepared your tooth for restoration. This technology is ideal for fabricating restorations such as new crowns, veneers and fillings for teeth — often possible in one office visit.
Cone Beam Cytography (CBCT) Radiograph
Cone Beam Cytography (CBCT) radiograph will be taken for diagnostic purpose. We only recommend doing specialized CBCT X-ray to visualize the bone thickness with every slice of image as thin as 1mm. This highly accurate CBCT ensures safety in placement of Implant without interfering with nearby facial structures.
