Questions about dental implants

[motherhoood_love]

I’m planning to get a dental implant soon and would love to hear from people who have already had the procedure. How long did the whole process take, and were there any challenges during healing?

Before my implant treatment, I had a lot of pain while chewing, and an exam confirmed the damaged tooth was beyond saving. My search for the best dental clinic in selangor led me to SEPA Dental. The whole process took a few months from extraction to final crown, but the healing went really smoothly because I strictly followed the aftercare advice.

I’m considering getting a dental implant because I’ve had a missing tooth for quite some time. How long does the whole process usually take, from the first appointment until the implant is fully completed?

A note from the KiasuParents team

Hi! I'm from the KiasuParents team. I noticed that some members have posted a number of health enquiries lately, within a short span of time. It's best that you visit your go-to medical practitioners for advice.

This is to help everyone who is curious about dental implants.

I have one dental implant, done years back at GPA. I can't remember the exact cost (perhaps 5k), but it came with a lifetime guarantee, so even when my dentist left GPA to set up his own private clinic, this guarantee still held, and anytime I go to him regarding the implant, I'm not charged.

I think the entire process took months. I'm a bit hazy on how many separate appointments it took, but there's the extraction, installing the implant to hold the new tooth, and then fixing it on.

A good question to ask your dentist

How easy will it be to remove/reinstall the tooth if it starts to get dislodged over time?

In my case, I have to always wait till it's pretty loose or pops out on its own, because there isn't an easier access path.

@ilovemychildrens89 I had a missing tooth and was having trouble chewing properly on one side, so I started checking different clinics for dental implants. I actually visited other clinics before choosing SEPA Dental, and I felt more comfortable with their explanation of the treatment stages and healing period. Based on my experience, I would say SEPA Dental offers the best dental implants in Malaysia that I have tried. The whole process was not something I expected to finish in one visit, as there were different stages involved.
