Tooth Implant Done!

Yeah! Finally done with my first tooth implant for the decayed tooth on the 4th tooth on top right! 

Extraction was done in Oct 12, I went for Phase 1 of the implant to fix the screw into my gum in Jan 13. Supposed to go back for Phase 2 to fix another screw in May 13 but only get it one last week. Today, Phase 3 of the implant - Crowning is finally done! The entire process took me about 9 months! 

Before the crowning - still missing the 4th tooth on top right


After crowning.

In case you can't see the difference, here's a comparison 

Closer look of the tooth implant! 

Seriously, I didn't check how much is being deducted from my Medisave (roughly about $3k according to the dentist), but I paid $300 for the crown

Now that the missing tooth on the right is fixed, its time to plan for the 2 broken teeth on the left. Dentist suggested doing root canal on the 4th top left tooth & implant for the 5th top left tooth. Entire process for 2 teeth is gonna cost about $300 cash (crowning) + $1k (root canal) + about $3k from Medicave (for implant)
