Case 2

This gentleman was referred to us for permanent replacement of his denture with implant-retained bridges. The challenge was he had a chronic periodontal problem, and most of his teeth were mobile.

He was then referred to a periodontist, who had suggested multiple extractions of upper teeth due to the severity of his gum problems. However a few teeth has been retained, because they are still firm and the patient wish to keep them.
Multiple units of dental implants were placed and 3 separate screw-retained bridges were constructed.

Case 1

This young lady was referred to us with a history of loss of 4 front teeth 15 years earlier due to motor vehicle accident. She has been wearing dentures ever since, and now looking for a more permanent replacement.

The problem faced was massive bone loss due to resorbtion. Decision was made to place 2 dental implants, with simultaneous bone grafting using a mixture of patient's own bone (taken from her chin) and synthetic bone graft.

After healing period of 6 months, a 4-unit bridge was constructed to replace her denture.

Dental Implants - Part 1

What are dental implants? Dental implant is a titanium implant that is placed into the jaw/gum to replace missing teeth. Why titanium? Titanium is the most inert (accepted by human body) and there is no known case of titanium allergy, and it doesn't corrode compared to metal such as iron etc.

Dental implant is one of the latest innovation in dentistry. Previously, any missing teeth can only be replaced with a denture, which is although removable is troublesome and not accepted by everyone. Although dentures are still available as an easier and cheaper option of treatment, dental implant has become more popular because it is the best replacement for natural teeth.
Dental implant is placed to replace the root of the tooth. Once the healing process is completed (around 3 months) the preparation can be made for construction of tooth. The teeth are normally made of porcelain, the shape and colour is 'custom-made' to complement the rest of the teeth.

Orthodontics

We have a very experience orthodontist (specialist in orthodontics) offering treatment to straighten crowded teeth (braces). The cost varies depending on the type of braces. We are now offering an 'easy payment' scheme, i.e initial deposit of 1/3rd, and the balance to be paid over the course of treatment, usually around 2 years. Please don't hesitate to call the clinic if you want to find out more. We are also offering ceramic orthodontic braces, which is hardly visible and aesthetically pleasing.
