A dental implant replaces a missing tooth from the root up: a titanium post is placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, then a custom crown is fitted on top once it has fused with the bone. Unlike a bridge or denture, an implant doesn't rely on your neighbouring teeth and actively preserves the jawbone at the missing-tooth site, which is why it's the most durable, natural-feeling option we offer.
Suitability depends mainly on your bone density, gum health, and how well any existing conditions are controlled — not your age. Common questions we hear at consultation:
A bone graft can often build up the implant site first. This is exactly what your consultation and CBCT scan are for — we'll tell you clearly if grafting is needed before quoting your treatment.
Often yes, but healing and success rates are more sensitive to these factors. Well-controlled diabetes is generally fine; heavy smoking and poorly controlled chronic conditions raise implant-failure risk and are assessed case by case at consultation.
No upper age limit — once your jawbone has fully developed (generally adulthood) and your gums and general health support surgery and healing, age alone doesn't rule you out.
From consultation to your finished crown, here's what to expect.
Assessment of bone density and gum health, with 3D imaging where needed to plan the exact implant position.
Damaged teeth are removed and the site built up with a bone graft first, only when your case requires it.
The titanium implant post is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia — usually a single visit.
Roughly 3–6 months for the implant to fuse with your jawbone. A temporary tooth can often be worn meanwhile.
Once healed, a custom crown is attached to complete your new tooth.
Real prices, not "from RM" teasers — your exact quote is confirmed at your consultation and CBCT scan.
Per tooth — depends on bone condition, implant material, and brand used.
Per missing site — faster and lower upfront cost, but relies on the neighbouring teeth and doesn't preserve jawbone.
Zero-deposit instalment plans available, no credit card required for approval — the same flexible payment options as our other treatments.
A single dental implant at Dr MeiLuk by L&M Dental Clinic typically costs RM6,000–12,000, depending on the bone condition at the site, the implant material, and the brand used — confirmed at your consultation and CBCT scan. A dental bridge, by comparison, runs RM3,000–5,400 per missing site.
A detailed assessment of your bone density and gum health, plus imaging (X-ray, or a 3D CBCT scan where needed) to plan implant placement precisely — followed by a written, itemised quote before any treatment begins.
Placing the implant itself is usually a single visit under local anaesthesia. The full process includes a healing (osseointegration) period of roughly 3–6 months before the permanent crown is fitted — your exact timeline depends on bone quality and whether extraction or grafting is needed first.
Most patients report less discomfort than expected — typically comparable to or milder than a tooth extraction, since the area is fully numbed during surgery. Mild swelling and soreness for a few days afterward is normal and manageable with prescribed pain relief.
With proper oral hygiene and regular check-ups, a dental implant can last 15–20+ years or a lifetime — the most durable tooth-replacement option we offer, which is part of why the upfront cost is higher than a bridge or denture.
Dental implants have a success rate of around 95% or higher. Failure, when it happens, is usually linked to low bone density, gum disease, smoking, poorly controlled diabetes, or infection during healing — factors we screen for before recommending implant treatment.
An implant (RM6,000–12,000) replaces the tooth root itself, preserves jawbone, and doesn't rely on neighbouring teeth. A bridge (RM3,000–5,400) is faster and cheaper but requires shaving down the adjacent teeth. A denture is the lowest-cost option but is removable and least stable. We'll walk through what fits your case, budget, and timeline at consultation.
If a damaged tooth can't be saved, extraction is done first. Depending on the bone condition, the implant can sometimes be placed the same day or after a short healing period — this is assessed and explained clearly at your consultation, not decided on the spot.
Yes — the same flexible options available across all our treatments: zero-deposit instalment plans, Atome, ShopeePay, and CuraGuru, so the cost can be spread out rather than paid upfront.
Coverage varies by insurer and policy — implants are sometimes partially covered under major medical or dental riders. We can provide an itemised receipt and treatment code for your claim; we recommend checking your policy's dental/oral surgery coverage beforehand.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeon with a Master's in OMFS specialising in wisdom tooth surgery and dental implants; Fellowship (FFDRCSI) conferred December 2014.
Mild swelling or bruising for 2–3 days after surgery is normal — ice packs and the pain relief we prescribe manage it well. Stick to soft foods for the first week and keep the surgical site clean exactly as instructed to avoid infection. Attend your follow-up visits so we can confirm the implant has fused with the bone before fitting your crown. Once your crown is fitted, care for it like a natural tooth — regular brushing, flossing, and check-ups.
