FAQ
What is a dental implant, and how does it work?
A dental implant is a titanium post placed into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth. It acts as a root for the new tooth, providing a permanent and durable solution. The procedure is typically done in stages and may take a few months for complete healing and placement of the crown.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last 20 years or longer. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are essential for the longevity of the implants.
What is a root canal treatment, and why would I need one?
A root canal treatment is needed when the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to injury or decay. The procedure involves removing the infected tissue, cleaning the root canal, and sealing it to save the tooth from extraction.
Is a root canal treatment painful?
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the procedure, thanks to modern anesthesia techniques. After the treatment, mild soreness can occur but can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
Can I use Medisave for dental implants and wisdom tooth extraction?
Yes, you can use Medisave for dental implants and wisdom tooth extraction. These procedures are eligible for Medisave claims, which can help cover part of the treatment cost, depending on the specific procedure and your eligibility.
