      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…

          implants are like 'minor surgery' i guess, so not all dentist are qualified to do so.
          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.

                    I am also looking for a good dentist for my kids. I may want to get my 8 year old braces. Any recommendations?

                      My kids and I go to a dentist near our house that is not too bad but for serious work

                      that needs more 'specialist' help, we go to Smile clinique at Novena.

                      Another dentist that is highly recommended by a friend is Smile Focus
                      at Camden Medical Centre.

                      Both are Smiles something..maybe there is something about that name 🤷

                        I'm not too sure if 8yo is too early for braces. Not all the permanent teeth is out yet and the child's mouth/jaw is still growing and developing. May be a little too soon. A better time is usually after 12 yo (or if u can wait, after PSLE).

                        It's also better to do it if the child is slightly older and more able to take pain and discomfort.
