Haha, level of physical pain during the treatment. If the treatment is not so painful, I'll feel so relieved that I won't feel the heart pain.
you mean the level of heart pain on the amount of $$ spent? :evil:
If you remember, I just extracted my molar, went for a review and the dentist said to prevent the neighbouring teeth from moving, there are 3 options. Use dentures, do a bridge or do implant. He said implant is a better choice than bridge.
You mentioned that the gum must be strong for implants , rite? Is it only for the front tooth, in your case, or applies to back tooth as well? -

not sure about the level of physical pain, but thinking about the long term benefits, i think should be worth it.

before doing implant, i believe the dentist may need you to do an imaging of your teeth/gum. from there, he can see if you have enough 'bone mass' to carry out implant. if don't have, i was told that need to do some 'treatment' to the gums/bone(??) prior to the implant (for back tooth as well). better for you to talk to your dentist. and do note that not all dentists are qualified to carry out implant surgery. -
Can someone recommend a good dentist around bishan/novena area?

Just googled and found out that dentists can carry out implants if they have completed some courses. The dentist who attended to me quoted a low price for implant. I think he only has a basic degree in dentistry, that’s why the price difference.
Wonder whether I should go to him for implant, but if he has done a lot, then he should be very experienced. Still thinking about it… -
No one knows good dentist ha…sigh…

ya, if he has done a lot, should be experience ba.
just some info that i got from other website about implant
\"Pre-Treatment Evaluation And Treatment Planning
Your Dentist will carry out a detailed assessment with the aid of study models and radiographs to determine if it is feasible for dental implants to be placed. There must be adequate bone to surround an implant. Should there be a deficiency due to previous bone loss, the Dentist will discuss with you the different methods of bone augmentation.\"

hi jedamum, thanks again for this link. I think I’ve a better idea what to expect, and what qns to ask the dentist. Seems like it’s better to do implant asap after extraction.
