Ysc3 Twincharged August 13, 2011 Share August 13, 2011 useless one, can only claim annual limit $1.5k... yearly premium $435.60... so many restrictions, might as well dun buy. major surgey only claim up to 80% or up to annual limit of $1.5k which ever is lower. pui! ... anyway, i am into my 3rd premium ...so abt $70 ...if i can claim 80%, i still save quite alot. but the doc was telling me that the policy has lots of red tape ... so will only find the the pros and cons when i file the actual claim. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alghojo Neutral Newbie August 13, 2011 Share August 13, 2011 (edited) so what was your timeline for the whole process from start to end ? i wud be doing an extraction first. All started in late Nov 2010, 1 of my front tooth had turned bad, had it extracted and put the insert at 1 go. All this takes ard 30 mins. 3 or 4 days later remove stitches. After that, sometime in Mar 11 do the dental mould. 4 to 5 days after that, i got a new smile. Edited August 13, 2011 by Alghojo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyt 4th Gear August 13, 2011 Share August 13, 2011 is dental implant reversible? what if one day we grow old and decided to wear full denture, do we need to spend money to remove existing implant or just wear a denture to complement the old implants?

Yup, extract and insert at the same time. The 3 to 4 mths wait is for the insert to gel or settle with the bones. The stitches, using ur gum to cover the insert. http://www.dentalimplant.com/topic4.htm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddy2421 Neutral Newbie August 14, 2011 Share August 14, 2011 Hi guys, one of my kaki works in the dental industry. Got a few friends have done implants recently, The below are some info being passed on to me. Implants loading time are depends largely on the patient's condition, habits and the implants being used. The dental implants are held to bones thru the screw thread for the first couple of weeks after which integration and bone growth into the implants take over the job. That is why most of the dentist install the crown after 4-5months. Better dental implants that promotes better bone growth and reproduction can shorten the treatment time. Therefore there are different pricing in the market. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyt 4th Gear August 15, 2011 Share August 15, 2011 (edited) if i have an existing denture with me, does that mean i can still wear my denture till the crown is ready? it looks weird if they stuck a white stopper on ur tooth and ppl can see it oviously its not a tooth!

Zanter 3rd Gear August 16, 2011 Share August 16, 2011 My sister goes to KL or JB for dental work. I cant tell you where though but much cheaper there. Follow up etc more troublesome but if 10 teeth save a lot! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
