Dental Implants in Canggu, Bali
A dental implant is a titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth, topped with a custom crown. At Saka Dental Studio in Canggu, implants are planned from a CBCT 3D scan and placed using Straumann, Nobel Biocare or Osstem systems, with a written warranty and remote aftercare for international patients.
Who is dental implants for?
Dental implants suit adults who have lost one or more teeth through injury, decay or gum disease and want a fixed replacement rather than a denture or bridge. Suitability depends on bone volume and general health, which is confirmed at assessment using a CBCT 3D scan before any treatment is recommended.
How dental implants work
A dental implant replaces a missing tooth in two parts: a titanium post that integrates with the jawbone over a few months, and a custom crown fitted on top once healing is complete. The result looks and functions like a natural tooth and, unlike a bridge, does not rely on the teeth either side for support.
Treatment begins with a CBCT 3D scan. This shows the bone in three dimensions, so your dentist can decide whether an implant is suitable and plan its exact position before any surgery. Where bone is limited, a graft may be recommended, and your dentist will explain why and how it changes the timeline.
What to expect during treatment
Placement is carried out under local anaesthetic and is usually straightforward. After a healing period of roughly three to six months — during which the implant integrates with the bone — the final crown is fitted. For international patients, this two-stage timeline is planned around your travel, with remote check-ins between visits.
International patients save a meaningful amount compared with treatment at home while receiving care that uses recognised implant systems. We set out the full cost after your assessment, with no hidden fees.
Aftercare and warranty
You leave with written aftercare instructions and a clear point of contact. Implant systems carry manufacturer warranties, and Saka Dental Studio provides its own warranty terms in writing at the time of treatment. If a concern arises after you return home, we can advise via WhatsApp and coordinate with a local dentist where needed.
The procedure, step by step
- 1
Assessment & CBCT 3D scan
Your dentist examines the area and takes a CBCT 3D scan to confirm suitability and plan the exact implant position before any surgery.
- 2
Implant placement
The titanium implant is placed in the jawbone under local anaesthetic during a short surgical visit.
- 3
Healing (osseointegration)
Over roughly 3–6 months the implant integrates with the bone; remote check-ins are arranged for international patients.
- 4
Final crown
A custom crown is fitted on a return visit and matched to your natural teeth.
What to expect
Recovery
Mild swelling or tenderness for a few days, managed with simple pain relief. Most people return to normal activities the next day and follow a softer diet briefly.
Time in Bali
Plan for approximately 7 days in Bali for the surgical phase and initial healing check. A return visit is recommended for the final crown after an osseointegration period of about 3–6 months; remote check-ins are available in between.
Warranty & aftercare
Implant systems carry manufacturer warranties; Saka Dental Studio provides its own warranty terms in writing at the time of treatment, along with a remote aftercare protocol for patients who return home.
We use Straumann and Nobel Biocare systems because our international patients need confidence that their implants carry the same quality assurance they would expect at home. A warranty is only meaningful if the system behind it is reliable.
