Using Medisave for Dental Implants in Singapore

You can claim up to $1,250 for the implant fixture placement surgery. If bone grafting is also required, an additional $500 is claimable. If a sinus lift is needed, a further $500 may be claimed. The total claimable can reach $1,950 or more, subject to your clinical treatment plan and Medisave balance. At Vera Dental, the full implant package (including bone graft where needed) is priced at $1,949, leaving your out-of-pocket cost from $499.

The MOH-set Medisave claim limit for a single dental implant (surgical placement) is $1,250. Bone grafting adds a claimable limit of $500 per procedure. Sinus lift adds another $500. These limits apply per procedure, per session. If you have multiple implants placed in the same surgery, each implant placement is claimable individually up to $1,250, subject to MOH guidelines.

No. The dental crown — the visible tooth that sits on top of the implant — is a restorative component and is not Medisave-claimable. At Vera Dental, the crown is included in our implant package price of $1,949, so there are no hidden costs. Only the surgical procedure (implant placement) is claimable from Medisave.

Yes. If both procedures are clinically required and performed in the same surgical session, both can be claimed from Medisave in the same visit. The implant placement claims up to $1,250 and the bone graft claims up to $500 — a combined total of up to $1,750 from a single session. At Vera Dental, bone grafting is included in the implant package where clinically needed.

Yes. Under CPF rules, you can use Medisave from an immediate family member's account — spouse, children, parents, or siblings — with their authorisation. The same claim limits apply. This is particularly useful if your own Medisave balance is insufficient to cover the full claimable amount. Our clinic team will guide you through the brief authorisation process.

No. Vera Dental submits the Medisave claim on your behalf electronically on the day of your procedure. You only need to sign a CPF Medisave withdrawal authorisation form before surgery — a standard one-page document. We handle everything else. You simply pay the net out-of-pocket amount after the Medisave deduction on the day.

Yes. There is no age restriction on Medisave claims for dental implant surgery. Seniors are fully eligible to claim from their own Medisave account, or with authorisation, from an immediate family member's account. We regularly assist elderly patients and their families through the process.

CHAS subsidies do not currently cover dental implant procedures — implants are classified as a surgical/specialist treatment outside the CHAS dental subsidy schedule. However, CHAS subsidies may apply to other dental treatments at Vera Dental. For implants specifically, Medisave remains the primary claimable funding mechanism. Our team will clarify all subsidy options applicable to your full treatment plan at consultation.

If your Medisave balance is lower than the maximum claimable amount, we will claim whatever your balance allows and you pay the remaining difference out-of-pocket. You can also supplement with a family member's Medisave account, subject to their authorisation. We will always confirm your exact out-of-pocket amount before proceeding with treatment — there are no surprise costs.

The full dental implant package at Vera Dental (implant fixture, bone graft where required, and crown) is priced at $1,949. After a Medisave claim of up to $1,450 (implant surgery + bone graft), your out-of-pocket cost is from $499. The exact amount depends on which procedures are clinically needed and your Medisave balance. We confirm this precisely before you commit to treatment.
