Tooth loss doesn’t just impact your smile, it affects your life. Eating your favourite foods, speaking clearly, or smiling without hesitation may no longer come easily — or at all. And the longer you go without replacing missing teeth, the more your jawbone and smile can begin to deteriorate.
It doesn’t have to be this way. With dental implants, you don’t just regain a strong, secure, natural-looking smile that feels just like your own teeth. You also regain the confidence to eat, speak and live fully again.
Take the first step today with a complimentary consultation with Dr Yi Chan to explore your personalised dental implant options and treatment costs.
Dental implants offer a secure, long-term tooth replacement solution designed to restore both the appearance and function of missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically inserted into the jaw, topped with a hand-crafted dental crown or bridge that looks just like natural teeth.
Unlike dentures that are held in place by adhesives or suction, dental implants mimic natural tooth roots and fuse with the jawbone over time. This creates a stable and strong support for the artificial tooth and also helps to prevent jaw bone loss.
One dental implant is used to support one custom-made dental crown.
Two or more dental implants are used to support a dental bridge or implant-supported denture.
Full mouth dental implants, such as All-on-4, where at least 4 dental implants are used to secure a fixed bridge of up to 12 teeth.

At Arc Dental, your new smile starts with a complimentary 60-minute consultation with Dr Yi Chan (usually valued at $407).
Includes:
Meet with Dr Yi, who will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your dental health and gums, take scans and photographs, and explore your treatment options.
Dr Yi will talk you through your detailed treatment plan and what to expect at every step. If you’re opting for IV sedation or general anaesthesia, your anaesthetist will provide clear instructions about how to prepare for your surgery.
On the day of your implant surgery, you’ll be met by Dr Yi and your anaesthetist (if you’ve opted for sedation), who’ll be by your side ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
You’ll be provided with clear aftercare instructions to ensure a stress-free recovery. It will take around 3 to 6 months for your gums and jawbone to fully heal after implant surgery — if you’re replacing a front tooth, a temporary tooth may be provided during this period.
Once healed, your new implant crown (replacement tooth) will be fitted. Enjoy a smile that looks beautiful, feels natural and lasts long-term.

Dental implant treatment typically takes around 3 to 6 months, depending on your individual healing time and whether additional procedures (like bone grafting to restore sufficient jawbone density or tooth extractions) are required. We'll walk you through your estimated timeline for replacing missing teeth during your complimentary consult with Dr Yi.
Most healthy patients missing one or more teeth are suitable candidates for dental implants. However, some factors related to your medical history, oral health and lifestyle, such as insufficient jaw bone density, certain medical conditions and whether you are a smoker, may affect your suitability for this surgical procedure. We will discuss all of this with you during your initial consultation.
Local anaesthetic will be used to numb the mouth during the dental implant surgery, meaning you won’t feel any pain or discomfort. Most patients also choose to have sedation as well, such as IV sedation or general anaesthesia, for total comfort. Dr Yi is an experienced dentist in dental implant placement, using only the gentlest techniques and precision technology to restore your smile comfortably. Afterwards, we’ll provide you with clear aftercare instructions to ensure minimal discomfort during your recovery period.
High quality dental implants are extremely durable and designed to last decades with proper care and maintenance. A good oral hygiene routine, as well as regular professional check-ups and maintenance with your dentist, are key to the longevity of your new smile.
Dental implant cost will vary, depending on your unique case. There are a few factors that affect the cost of dental implants, such as the number of implants you require and whether you need supporting procedures like bone grafting.
If you have private health insurance with dental extras, you may be covered for a portion of your treatment costs. Please check directly with your provider to confirm your policy inclusions, level of coverage and whether any waiting periods or annual limits apply.
