Neodent Implant Cost Singapore: 2026 Price Guide
What Does a Neodent Implant Cost in Singapore?
If you've been quoted wildly different numbers at different clinics — or no number at all — you're not alone. Dental implant pricing in Singapore is notoriously opaque. So here it is plainly: at Smile Central Clinic, a Neodent implant package costs $1,950, GST included. That price covers the implant fixture itself and a PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crown, so you're getting the full tooth replacement, not just a component of it.
That figure won't change at the checkout counter. No GST added on top, no surprise line items for the crown. What you're quoted is what you pay.
What the $1,950 Package Includes
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth in three parts: the titanium screw that goes into your jawbone (the implant), the connector piece (the abutment), and the visible tooth on top (the crown). Some clinics price these separately, which can make the total harder to compare.
The Neodent package at Smile Central Clinic bundles all of this into one figure:
- Neodent implant fixture — the titanium post placed into the jawbone
- Abutment — the connector between the implant and crown
- PFM crown — the porcelain-fused-to-metal tooth that sits on top
- GST already included — no additional tax to add
Neodent is a Swiss-Brazilian implant system with a long clinical track record, used widely by dentists internationally. It sits in a practical middle range — more established than budget implant brands, and priced below the premium European-only systems.
Can I Use Medisave to Pay for a Neodent Implant?
Yes — and this is the part worth reading carefully, because a lot of information online gets this wrong.
For eligible cases, the entire $1,950 Neodent package is fully payable using Medisave. That means no cash outlay at all if your Medisave account has sufficient funds and your case qualifies.
Medisave eligibility for implants depends on clinical factors — specifically whether the implant is being placed in a situation that meets CPF Board criteria. Your dentist will assess this at your consultation and tell you upfront whether your case qualifies.
Smile Central Clinic handles the Medisave claim paperwork on your behalf. You don't need to navigate CPF Board forms yourself.
How Does Neodent Compare to Other Implant Options?
Smile Central Clinic offers three implant systems. Here's how they sit side by side:
| Implant System | Price (incl. PFM crown) | GST | Medisave |
|---|---|---|---|
| Neodent | $1,950 | Already included | Fully payable (eligible cases) |
| Osstem | $2,200 | Excluded (add prevailing GST) | Up to $1,950 payable via Medisave |
| Straumann | $2,900 | Excluded (add prevailing GST) | Up to $1,950 payable via Medisave |
A few things to note:
- For Osstem and Straumann, the $1,950 Medisave-payable portion still applies, but the balance above that would need to be paid in cash.
- The Neodent package's GST-inclusive pricing and full Medisave coverage makes it particularly practical for patients who want to minimise out-of-pocket spending.
- Which system is clinically appropriate for you depends on your bone condition, the implant site, and your dentist's assessment — not just the price.
If you're unsure which system suits your situation, the dentist will explain the options at your consultation. The clinic doesn't push one brand over another; the recommendation is based on what works for your jaw.
What About CHAS, Pioneer Generation and Merdeka Generation?
CHAS subsidies apply to a defined list of dental procedures, and implants are not currently on that list. So for implants specifically, Medisave is the main subsidy pathway rather than CHAS.
If you hold a Pioneer Generation or Merdeka Generation card, it's worth asking at your consultation what subsidies apply to your overall treatment plan — especially if you need extractions or other preparatory work alongside the implant. Those associated treatments may carry their own subsidy entitlements.
Smile Central Clinic accepts CHAS, Pioneer Generation and Merdeka Generation cards across its clinics, and the team will work through what applies to your situation.
What to Expect at the Consultation
A consultation at Smile Central Clinic costs $21 to $98 depending on whether X-rays or other assessments are needed. The dentist will:
- Examine the implant site and review your dental and medical history
- Assess bone density and check whether bone grafting might be required before implant placement (this is a separate procedure and would be quoted separately if needed)
- Confirm whether your case qualifies for full Medisave coverage
- Explain the treatment timeline — implant placements typically involve multiple appointments spread over several months as the implant integrates with the bone
There's no obligation to proceed at the consultation. The point is to get clear information before you decide.
Will It Hurt?
Local anaesthesia is used during implant placement, so you should feel pressure during the procedure but not sharp pain. Some soreness and swelling in the days after is normal and expected — over-the-counter pain relief is usually sufficient, and your dentist will advise you on what to take. Healing timelines vary depending on the individual and the complexity of the case.
If you're anxious about the procedure, mention it at your consultation. The team is used to patients who've been putting this off for a while.
Do I Need to Take Leave?
The actual implant placement appointment takes a couple of hours typically. Many patients do take at least a day off, particularly because of post-procedure swelling. Evening and weekend appointments are available at most Smile Central Clinic branches — check the branch page for the specific clinic nearest to you.
Smile Central Clinic has eight locations: Aljunied, Ang Mo Kio, Hougang Mall, Marine Terrace, Tanjong Pagar, Toa Payoh, Upper Serangoon and Yishun. One of them is likely not far from where you live or work.
