Dental Implant Cost at Casa Dental

All prices are before 9% GST. Every package includes the implant fixture, abutment, and crown. You receive a full written quote at your consultation before any treatment begins.

If your case needs additional treatment, typical starting prices are bone grafting or sinus lift from $950 + GST, and surgical tooth extraction from $450 + GST. Your dentist confirms which of these apply to you, and the exact cost, at your consultation.

Traditional Implant - From $2,800 + GST

Dental implant costs from $2,800 + GST. The most widely used and clinically proven long-term solution for replacing a single missing tooth. Suitable for most patients with adequate bone density.

What’s included:

  • Titanium implant fixture (anchored into jawbone)
  • Abutment connector
  • Porcelain crown (colour-matched to natural teeth)
  • Medications (antibiotics & painkillers)
  • Post-operative review appointments
  • Pre and post-surgery X-rays

Ceramic (Zirconia) Implant - From $3,200 + GST

Ceramic implants cost from $3,200 + GST at Casa Dental, a 100% metal-free implant made from zirconia ceramic. Ideal for patients with metal sensitivities, those who prefer a holistic approach, or anyone seeking a fully biocompatible solution.

Ceramic implants cost slightly more than titanium, but the tooth-coloured material ensures a more natural appearance if gum recession occurs over time.

What’s included:

  • Zirconia (metal-free) implant fixture
  • Ceramic abutment
  • Ceramic crown
  • Medications & post-op review
  • Pre and post-surgery X-rays

All-on-4 implants replace a full arch of missing teeth using four to six implants instead of one per tooth, starting from $20,000 + GST per arch.

For the full price breakdown, what’s included, and how MediSave applies per implant placed, see All-on-4 Dental Implant Cost in Singapore.

Short Implant - From $2,800 + GST

Short implants start from $2,800 + GST. The same starting price as a traditional implant, but designed for patients with limited bone height in the jaw. Patients who have been researching mini dental implant costs should note that short implants and mini implants are clinically different options. Our dentist will assess which is appropriate for your case at consultation.

What’s included:

  • Short-body titanium implant fixture
  • Abutment connector
  • Porcelain crown (colour-matched to natural teeth)
  • Medications (antibiotics & painkillers)
  • Post-operative review appointments
  • Pre and post-surgery X-rays

Implant-Supported Denture Cost in Singapore

If you’re missing most or all teeth in an arch but want more stability than a removable denture gives you, two to six implants can anchor a denture in place. This sits between a full denture and All-on-4 in both cost and stability, and your dentist tells you at consultation whether your bone density supports it. Patients replacing multiple missing teeth at once should compare this against All-on-4 before deciding. For full denture and implant-supported denture pricing, see Dentures Cost Singapore. If you’re still deciding between the two routes, implants vs dentures and implant vs bridge cover the trade-offs in plain terms.

Every type above is MediSave claimable on the surgical portion. None of them are CHAS claimable for the implant procedure itself, only for general treatment you need before it, such as extractions.

Meet Your Dentist

Every Casa Dental branch is led by a full-time, permanent dentist who is also a partner in the clinic. Dr. Chan oversees implant cases and attends continuing education sessions at more than double the requirement set by the Singapore Dental Council. You’ll meet your treating dentist at consultation, not a rotating roster of associates.

Dental Implant Medisave Singapore: How Much Can You Claim

For eligible Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents, MediSave may be used for the surgical portion of implant treatment. The implant insertion component is claimable up to $1,120 per implant. Where the procedure qualifies as a day surgery, day-surgery-related charges may also be claimable, up to the applicable CPF withdrawal limit. Eligibility depends on CPF Board approval, procedure coding, bill size, and individual patient circumstances.

It doesn’t cover the crown or abutment, and CHAS doesn’t cover the implant procedure itself, only general treatment you need before it, such as extractions or fillings. Pioneer Generation and Merdeka Generation cardholders get additional subsidies on qualifying treatment. Casa Dental submits the CPF Board paperwork for you, so you only pay the balance once your claim is approved.

Combining your CHAS subsidy on eligible pre-treatment with your MediSave claim on the surgical portion typically lowers your out-of-pocket cost compared to paying the full quote upfront. Casa Dental works out both figures together at your consultation, before you commit to treatment.

If you’re comparing tooth implant cost in Singapore alongside what MediSave actually covers, Dental Implant MediSave Singapore breaks down eligibility, limits and the claim process step by step. For the wider subsidy picture beyond implants, medisave for dental treatment and the new CHAS dental subsidies cover what else is claimable.

Instalment Plans

Casa Dental offers 0% interest instalment plans over 3, 6 or 12 months through major bank credit cards. There’s no extra fee for spreading payment this way. Ask the front desk to check which banks are currently supported when you book your consultation, since participating banks change from time to time.

Combining an instalment plan with your MediSave claim is the most common way patients manage a $20,000 All-on-4 case without paying the full balance in one visit.

What Happens at Your Consultation

Your first visit is an assessment, not a treatment commitment. Your dentist examines your teeth and gums, takes X-rays or a 3D scan if needed, and checks your suitability for implants. You leave with a full written cost breakdown, including your estimated MediSave claim. Nothing proceeds until you’ve reviewed and signed off on the plan.

The consultation fee starts from $20.

Choosing on Price Alone

A lower quote isn’t automatically a better deal. Implants placed without adequate planning, imaging or a suitable brand can fail earlier, and a failed implant costs more to redo than getting it right the first time. Ask what’s included in any quote you compare: the fixture, the crown, the X-rays and the follow-up reviews should all be itemised, not bundled into a vague lump sum. If you’re still weighing implants against other options, alternatives to dental implants covers bridges and dentures side by side.

Short Dental Implant Cost in Singapore

Short implants start from $2,800 + GST, the same starting price as a traditional implant, but designed for patients with limited bone height. In many cases, short implants remove the need for bone grafting or a sinus lift entirely. If your case would otherwise require a bone graft, short implants can remove that cost completely, saving $950 or more before GST.

Casa Dental places short implants from Neodent, Neobiotech, and Straumann, with lengths from 4mm. Medisave is claimable on the surgical component, the same as a standard implant.

Short implants are a different treatment from mini implants. Mini implants are mainly used for denture stabilisation and are not Medisave-claimable. If you have been told you lack sufficient bone for a standard implant, ask your dentist at consultation whether short implants are suitable for your case.

Ceramic Dental Implant Cost in Singapore

Ceramic (zirconia) implants at Casa Dental start from $3,200 + GST. They are 100% metal-free, which makes them an option for patients with metal sensitivities or those who prefer a fully biocompatible alternative to titanium.

Ceramic implants are most commonly placed in the aesthetic zone (front teeth), where their tooth-coloured material provides the greatest visual benefit. Placement on back teeth depends on the implant system used, your bite forces, bone condition, and dentist assessment. Your dentist confirms at consultation whether your case is suitable.

Ceramic implants carry the same Medisave claimability on the surgical component as titanium implants, at the same claim amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a dental implant cost in Singapore?

Traditional and short implants start from $2,800 + GST. Ceramic implants start from $3,200 + GST. Every price includes the fixture, abutment and crown. For All-on-4 full-arch pricing, see All-on-4 Dental Implant Cost in Singapore.

How much MediSave can I use for a dental implant?

The implant insertion component is claimable up to $1,120 per implant. Where your procedure qualifies as a day surgery, day-surgery-related charges may also be claimable up to the applicable CPF limit. The crown and abutment are not claimable. Casa Dental estimates your exact claimable amount at consultation and handles the CPF submission for you

Are ceramic implants available for back teeth?

Ceramic implants are most often placed in the front teeth, where aesthetics matter most. Suitability for back teeth depends on the implant system, your bite forces, and bone condition. Your dentist assesses this at consultation and recommends the right option for your case.

What's the difference between short implants and mini implants?

Short implants are a full-size implant with a shorter body, used for limited bone height, and they’re MediSave claimable like any other implant. Mini implants are a different, narrower implant mainly used to stabilise dentures, and they aren’t MediSave claimable. Read dental implants for the full comparison.

Can I combine MediSave with an instalment plan?

Yes. Most patients use MediSave to cover the surgical portion, then split the remaining balance over 3, 6 or 12 months through a bank instalment plan.

How long does a dental implant last?

Dental implants are a long-term solution designed to function for decades. The crown may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear. With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, the implant fixture itself can last a lifetime.

How do I lower the out-of-pocket cost of a dental implant?

Claim your MediSave entitlement first, then ask about a 0% instalment plan for the balance. If you hold a CHAS card, use it on any general treatment you need before the implant, such as extractions.

Why doesn't insurance cover dental implants in Singapore?

It depends on your policy. Some comprehensive dental or hospitalisation insurance plans do provide partial coverage for dental implants, as the procedure is classified as a surgical treatment rather than a cosmetic one. Basic dental plans, however, commonly exclude implants. We recommend checking your policy documents or speaking with your insurer before your consultation. Regardless of insurance coverage, MediSave may be claimable for the surgical portion of your implant procedure, subject to CPF Board approval, procedure coding, bill size, and patient eligibility.

What is the difference between a Traditional and Ceramic Implant?

Traditional implants use a titanium fixture, the most clinically proven and widely used material in implant dentistry. Ceramic (zirconia) implants are 100% metal-free, making them suitable for patients with metal sensitivities or those who prefer a fully biocompatible option. Ceramic implants cost slightly more (from $3,200 vs $2,800) but are equally eligible for MediSave claims on the surgical portion.

What is an All-on-X implant?

All-on-X (called Pro-Arch at Casa Dental) uses 4 to 6 implants to support a full arch of replacement teeth. It is designed for patients who are missing most or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. In eligible cases, temporary teeth can be placed on the same day as surgery. Pricing starts from $20,000 + GST per arch, and multiple MediSave claims apply, one per implant placed.

How many days MC for dental implant in Singapore?

Most patients receive 5 to 7 days of medical leave following dental implant surgery. If bone grafting or additional procedures are involved, your dentist may recommend up to one week. The exact duration depends on your individual recovery and the complexity of your procedure. Casa Dental provides all necessary medical certificate documentation for your employer upon request.

How long does the whole process take?

From consultation to final crown, treatment usually takes 3 to 6 months. If you need a bone graft first, the timeline extends to 6 to 12 months. Your dentist sets your personalised timeline at consultation.
