Dental Implants in Novena, Singapore – Permanent Tooth Replacement at LQ Dental
What Are Dental Implants ?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering a permanent, stable, and natural-looking solution that functions just like a real tooth.
A dental implant consists of:
A titanium post that is surgically placed into your jawbone to act as a tooth root.
An abutment that connects the implant to the crown.
A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture that restores your bite and smile.
At LQ Dental in Novena, Singapore, we use the latest implant technology to deliver safe, long-lasting tooth replacements that restore both aesthetics and function.

A) Initial Consultation & Implant Planning
Objective: Assess your oral health, bone structure, and suitability for implants.
What’s included:
Full clinical examination of your gums, bite, missing teeth, and oral hygiene.
Review of your medical history, medications, and any conditions that may affect healing (e.g., diabetes, smoking, osteoporosis).
Intraoral photos for visual records and smile design.
3D Cone Beam CT Scan (CBCT):
Evaluates jawbone quality and density.
Checks for sinus proximity (upper jaw) or nerve proximity (lower jaw).
Provides precise digital mapping for implant placement.
Digital treatment simulation: We show you where implants will be placed and how the final result will look.
📋 You will receive a custom treatment plan, timeline, cost estimate, and options for sedation or payment.
B) Surgical Placement of Dental Implant (Stage 1)
Objective: Securely place the titanium implant screw into the jawbone.
Procedure overview:
Performed under local anaesthesia, IV sedation, or general anaesthesia, based on your preference and case complexity.
A small incision is made in the gum, and a tiny channel is prepared in the jawbone using precise drills.
The titanium implant post is placed into the bone.
A healing cap or temporary abutment is placed, and the gum is sutured over or around the implant.
🕒 Surgery duration: 30–60 minutes per implant
⏱ Healing time: 3–6 months (for osseointegration, where bone fuses with implant)
📌 During this period, you may wear a temporary crown, bridge, or denture to maintain function and appearance.
C) Bone Grafting & Sinus Lifts (If Required)
When needed:
Bone is too soft, thin, or insufficient for implant stability.
The implant is placed in the upper jaw near the sinus cavity.
Types of grafts:
Socket graft (minor): Immediately after tooth extraction to preserve bone.
Block graft (moderate): For major bone loss or long-term missing teeth.
Sinus lift (upper jaw): Raises the sinus floor and adds bone to allow implant placement.
🔬 We use biocompatible grafting materials and techniques that reduce healing time and increase success rates.
🕒 Healing period: 4–6 months before implant placement
D) Implant Uncovering & Abutment Placement (Stage 2)
Objective: Expose the implant and connect it to the visible crown system.
Once the implant has fused with the bone, a minor procedure is done to expose the implant if it’s beneath the gum.
A healing abutment (a small connector post) is placed to shape the gum and prepare for the final crown.
🕒 Done under local anaesthesia in ~20 minutes
🗓 Healing time: 1–2 weeks for soft tissue to contour properly
E) Final Crown / Bridge / Denture Fitting (Stage 3)
Objective: Restore the implant with a lifelike, functional tooth replacement.
A digital or physical impression is taken to design your custom prosthesis.
Your crown or bridge is matched to your natural tooth shape, size, and colour.
We offer:
Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM)
All-ceramic (zirconia or E-max) crowns for premium aesthetics
The final prosthesis is attached to the abutment.
🦷 You now have a fully functional, natural-looking tooth that blends seamlessly with your smile.
F) Multiple Missing Teeth – Implant Bridges
If you’re missing 2–4 teeth in a row, we place 2 or more implants to support a bridge rather than replacing each tooth with an individual implant.
Benefits:
More cost-effective and less invasive
Excellent bite strength
Preserves adjacent healthy teeth (unlike traditional bridges)
🗓 Total treatment timeline: ~4–9 months depending on bone health
G) Full Arch Implant Systems – All-on-4 / All-on-6
Ideal for: Patients with no teeth or failing dentures
Uses 4–6 strategically placed implants to support a full arch of teeth.
Fixed prosthesis — not removable like dentures.
In some cases, we offer Immediate Loading, where you get a temporary fixed denture on the same day.
🛠 What you get:
Enhanced chewing power
No more slipping or adhesive mess
Natural facial support, especially around lips and cheeks
💬 Ask us about zirconia or acrylic hybrid bridges for All-on systems.
H) Maintenance, Monitoring & Long-Term Success
After implant placement and restoration, we support you with:
Regular reviews every 6–12 months
Digital X-rays to check implant health and bone levels
Professional cleaning and implant scaling

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is suitable for dental implants?
Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone and good gum health are eligible. If you have existing bone loss, we may recommend bone grafting first.
Is the procedure painful?
Implant surgery is performed under anaesthesia and is not painful. Post-op discomfort is mild and usually managed with over-the-counter painkillers.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, implants can last 15–25 years or more. They are one of the most durable solutions in modern dentistry.
What is the recovery time?
Mild swelling and discomfort may last 2–3 days. Full healing (bone integration) takes around 3–6 months before placing the crown or bridge.
What’s the difference between implants and dentures?
Implants are fixed and permanent, while dentures are removable. Implants feel and function more like natural teeth and don’t slip or cause sore spots.
How much do dental implants cost in Singapore?
Cost varies by case complexity, number of implants, and whether additional procedures (like bone grafting) are needed. We provide a transparent quotation during consultation, and selected procedures are Medisave claimable.
