Dental Implants

Titanium implant-supported tooth replacement for single missing teeth through to full-arch restorations. Assessed and placed by Dr Kevin Ong with over 35 years of clinical experience across Singapore and London.

The Dentist @ Orchard offers dental implants as a permanent tooth replacement solution that preserves adjacent teeth and maintains jawbone integrity — advantages not available with bridges or conventional dentures. The implant procedure begins with a clinical assessment covering gum health and jawbone volume; patients with insufficient bone may require a bone graft prior to implant placement to ensure a stable foundation. Dr Kevin Ong, who graduated from NUS in 1985 and has extensive private practice experience including time in London's West End, performs all implant surgeries at the Orchard Gateway clinic. A single implant (titanium post, abutment, and ceramic crown) is priced at SGD 4,000 — a competitive rate for the central Orchard location. Treatment timelines typically span several months to allow for osseointegration (the fusing of the implant with the jawbone) before the final crown is fitted. Implant-supported options are available for single tooth loss, multiple teeth (with implant-retained bridges), and full arch rehabilitation. The clinic's conservative philosophy means patients receive an honest assessment of candidacy rather than an aggressive sales approach. Post-placement care and periodic review are integrated into the treatment plan. For patients with good oral hygiene, implants can last 20 or more years, making them the most cost-effective long-term tooth replacement option available.
