How much does a dental implant with a crown cost at a public institution?

Public institutions averaged $4,539 to $6,600 for an implant with a crown in 2024.

Does every dental implant need a bone graft first?

No. Whether a graft is needed is assessed per site through clinical exam and imaging such as CBCT, not by a fixed rule. No reliable published rate exists for how often grafting is required before implant placement — the closest available reviews (Wei et al., 2025; Atieh et al., 2021) describe the mechanism qualitatively rather than a percentage.

How long after a bone graft can an implant be placed?

It depends on the graft's size and material. Socket-preservation grafts are generally given a minimum of three to four months before further treatment (Yankov, 2023), while larger ridge or sinus augmentation grafts are often allowed four to twelve months to consolidate, per the American Academy of Periodontology.

What is the difference between an autograft and a synthetic bone graft?

An autograft uses bone taken from the patient's own body, commonly from the chin, jaw ramus, or hip. A synthetic graft (alloplast) uses a lab-made material such as hydroxyapatite, avoiding a second surgical site but functioning only as a scaffold rather than as living bone.

Is bone grafting covered by MediSave in Singapore?

MOH's Table of Surgical Procedures does not list bone grafting as its own claimable code. MediSave claims in an implant-and-graft case are generally assessed against the implant procedure code itself (SB816M, $1,120 per implant), with grafting typically billed by the clinic as part of that surgical episode.

Can a jawbone recover on its own without a graft?

The alveolar ridge does not regenerate the width and height lost after tooth extraction on its own — resorption is a one-way process in the months after tooth loss (Tan et al., 2012). Grafting is a way of adding material back into the site; it does not reverse resorption that has already occurred elsewhere in the arch.

How many implants does All-on-4 actually use?

Four per arch, as the name states — typically two placed vertically toward the front and two placed at an angle toward the back of the arch, all splinted under one fixed prosthesis.

A dental implant is a titanium screw placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. In Singapore it is a MediSave-claimable surgical procedure: MOH's 2026 table sets a single endosseous implant at $1,120, and each implant placed is claimed separately. Public institutions averaged $4,539 to $6,600 with a crown in 2024.

Bone Grafting for Dental Implants: When Is It Necessary?

Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone volume that has been lost, usually before a dental implant is placed, by packing bone or a bone-like material into the site so the implant has enough width and height to anchor into. It becomes relevant when the alveolar ridge has resorbed too far after tooth loss to hold an implant on its own.

Single Tooth Implants vs All-on-4: Full Arch Replacement Compared

A single tooth implant replaces one missing tooth with an individual titanium post, abutment, and crown. All-on-4 uses four implants placed in specific positions to anchor a fixed full-arch prosthesis replacing an entire row of teeth. Which applies depends on how many teeth are missing and the remaining bone and tooth structure in the arch.

Peri-Implantitis & Signs of Dental Implant Failure

Dental implant failure happens when an implant loses the bone support (osseointegration) that anchors it — either early, before the implant fully integrates, or late, most often due to peri-implantitis, a bacterial-plaque-driven infection of the tissue around an implant that has already integrated. Pooled studies estimate a 22% weighted mean prevalence of peri-implantitis and 96.4% ten-year implant survival.
