Toothday Dental / Dental implant
Dental implant in Seri Kembangan
An implant is one way to replace a missing tooth. At Toothday Dental in Taman Equine, Dr Cheng Mou Hang (BDS, AIMST University), whose areas of interest include implantology, assesses whether it suits you and walks you through each step.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone where a tooth is missing. Once it has settled, it can support a crown, and in some cases a bridge or a denture.
Unlike a bridge, an implant does not rely on the teeth next to the gap for support.
Who might it suit?
Adults missing one or more teeth may be candidates. Suitability depends on things the dentist checks at the assessment:
- gum health and the amount of bone available
- your general health and any medication you take
- habits such as smoking or teeth grinding
The steps, one at a time.
- 01
Assessment
An examination and X-rays or a scan to check bone and gum health, then a discussion of options and fees.
- 02
Placement
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic. The dentist explains aftercare before you leave.
- 03
Healing
The implant settles into the bone over a period of months. A healing cap guides the gum tissue to get ready for the final implant tooth.
- 04
Final tooth
A zirconia crown is made and fitted on the implant, followed by review visits and regular check-ups.
Questions people ask about implants.
How much is a dental implant at Toothday?
The clinic's fee is RM5,800 per implant unit, including a zirconia crown. Your final fee is confirmed after an assessment, because some cases need extra steps such as a bone graft or an extraction first.
How long does treatment take?
It usually runs over a few months, because the implant needs time to settle into the bone before the final tooth is fitted. The dentist gives you a timeline after the assessment.
Will I feel the implant being placed?
Placement is done under local anaesthetic. Some tenderness or swelling in the days after is common. The dentist explains aftercare and what to expect for your case.
What are the alternatives?
A bridge or a removable denture can also replace missing teeth. Each option has trade-offs, and the dentist can talk through which ones suit your situation.
