Rediscover Your Smile: No Bone Grafts, Just Confidence
Achieve a perfect smile with less discomfort and downtime. Newlife Dental Practice uses ultra-short dental implants that provides effective results without the need for bone grafts.
Small but Packing a Punch–The Ultra Short Solution
The Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world, stands tall and resilient on seemingly short foundations.
Just like the impressive engineering behind this architectural marvel, ultra short dental implants provide strength and stability despite their small size.
Ultrashort dental implants, designed for patients with limited bone height, offer a solution minimising the need for bone grafting. They ensure a minimally invasive procedure that reduces recovery time and discomfort, without compromising on durability or functionality.
Choose ultrashort dental implants for a solution that is small in size but monumental in impact, much like the awe-inspiring Burj Khalifa standing tall against the skyline.
Benefits of ultra short implants
-
Less bone augmentation needed
Short implants are beneficial when there is limited vertical bone height, which reduces the need for bone grafting or sinus lift procedures. -
Less invasive
The placement of short implants is often less invasive than traditional implants, and can result in reduced surgical time and short recovery for patients. -
Lower cost
Since additional procedures like bone grafting are often unnecessary, the overall cost of treatment with short implants is lower. -
High success rates
Recent studies have shown that short implants have comparable success rates to conventional implants.
Don't let limited bone height or concerns about invasiveness hold you back from achieving the smile you've always wanted.
Our three-stage dental implant process
At Newlife Dental Practice, we prioritise holistic care. Each stage of our implant procedure is designed with your long-term dental health in mind.
Stage 1
Comprehensive consultation and assessment
Your journey to a restored smile begins with an in-depth consultation with our team. During this visit, we will thoroughly assess your oral health, understand your goals, and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you.
We will take a CBCT (3D x-ray) to accurately measure the dimensions and volume of your jawbone and to locate critical structures such as the maxillary sinus and mandibular nerve. This advanced imaging allows us to plan your treatment with precision and ensure a safe and effective implant placement.
Stage 2
Precision implant placement
The next step is the surgical placement of the dental implant or implants into your jawbone. These implants act as the new ‘roots’ for your future dental restorations. Through a natural process called osseointegration, your bone and tissue will gradually bond with the biocompatible implant.
This bonding process is crucial as it provides a stable and durable foundation for your new teeth. Once the implants have fully integrated with your oral tissues, you will return to our clinic for the final stage of your treatment.
Stage 3
Customised restorative solutions
In the final stage, our dentists will create a personalised restorative solution tailored to your needs. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or an entire arch, we will design the perfect restoration to complete your smile. The style and size of your new teeth will be meticulously crafted to match your natural teeth and enhance your overall appearance.

FAQ
Does Newlife Dental Practice offer Full Arch/ All-on-4 dental implants?
Yes, this solution provides a permanent, stable, and natural-looking replacement for multiple missing teeth, using only four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of prosthetic teeth. Contact us today to learn more and schedule your consultation.
What is the cost range for dental implants and All-on-4 dental implants?
The cost for dental implants is $4,500 per implant.
Full Arch/all-on-4 dental implants typically cost $20k to $35k per arch. This includes the cost of the implants, the surgical procedure, and the prosthetic teeth.
How long does the entire process take?
The typical dental implant process typically spans 6-9 months, involving multiple stages, particularly when bone grafting or a sinus lift procedure is required.
At Newlife Dental Practice, we have improved this process with our utilisation of ‘short’ dental implants crafted by Bredent Medical in Germany. These implants boast a diminutive dimensional height of just 5.2mm, contrasting with traditional implants that stand at 8mm or taller. By leveraging these implants, our dentists adeptly restore missing teeth in patients with deficient or resorbed jaw bone structures, often eliminating the necessity for complex and costly bone grafting procedures. Notably, this approach minimises surgical risks and complications, streamlining the entire process to a remarkable 3 months duration.
How much can be claimed from Medisave/ Insurance for dental implants?
Patients can claim up to $1,250 per implant placement surgery from their Medisave account. The exact amount claimable depends on the specifics of the procedure and individual Medisave account balances.
Dental implants are often insurance claimable. Coverage depends on your specific insurance plan and provider. It’s best to check with your insurance company to understand the details and extent of your coverage. Newlife Dental can also assist you with the necessary documentation for your claim.

Does Newlife Dental Practice offer instalment payment options?
