Bid goodbye to lower dentures
When was the last time you bite into a crunchy apple? Do you cover your mouth when you speak or laugh because of missing teeth? Are you looking for an alternative to traditional dentures for your teeth on the lower jaw?
We have good news! With modern dental treatment, you can live life to the fullest by enjoying your favourite foods, speak with confidence and laugh freely. You can choose to replace your fully edentulous mandible (lower jaw) using the Trefoil™ dental implant system – a modern, practical and cost efficient solution.
Trefoil™ is a permanently fixed prosthesis that replaces the entire lower jaw with three dental implants. Consult with our team of dental specialists to see if you are eligible for this treatment option.
Why Trefoil™?
Other solutions to replacing missing teeth on an entire lower jaw includes traditional dentures and All-on-4 dental implants. With Trefoil™, you replace missing teeth with a fixed prosthesis in a more cost efficient manner as less dental implants are used. Using three dental implants to support all your new lower teeth, this solution is:
- fast – you can get your final new set of teeth in less than a week; and
- provides an improved quality of life – you can now smile, eat and speak freely. These restorations are designed to look, feel and function like your natural teeth.
Benefits of a fixed solution
Trefoil™ dental implant system is a fixed prosthesis and here are the benefits:
- Stronger bite to help you chew
- More stability and less movement
- Fewer problems associated with traditional dentures such as wear and tear issues or discomfort on the gums

What is involved in getting Trefoil™ Implant?

What are the benefits of Trefoil™ Implant?
With its advanced technology, you can experience a new, life-changing teeth in just one day or a few days after implant placement. Besides, Trefoil™ implant ensures strong and long-lasting fixation of artificial teeth on implants without any discomfort.
There is no down time for healing between surgery and tooth replacement, as in the case with conventional dental implants where you will be able to use your new teeth on the day itself after treatment. The new teeth are created to look, feel and function like natural teeth where you can proceed with your daily routine immediately after surgery.
What are the risks of Trefoil™ Implant?
As placement of dental implants is a surgical procedure, it comes with general risks including infection of the bone, numbness caused by damage to nerve tissue which may be temporary or long term, and excessive bleeding in the midst of or post surgery.
Dental implant may potentially fail to integrate with the bone after placement and a secondary procedure will be required in the event if it occurs. Some factors that may interfere with the healing process of either bone or soft tissue include:
- cigarette smoking
- infections in the neighboring bone
- uncontrolled diabetes
- oro-facial radiotherapy
- steroid therapy
How long does Trefoil™ Implant last?
Dental implant treatments are meant to last as long as you do. With consistent good oral hygiene in addition to proper treatment, your implant can last your entire lifetime. Having said that, do take note that heavy alcohol consumption, smoking, diabetes, or other clinical conditions may interfere with an implant’s integration process and its ultimate long-term success. People who grind their teeth during their sleep must also highlight with their dentist during consultation process.
