Missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and feel about your smile. Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking solution that replaces both the root and the visible part of a missing tooth. A small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over time to create a stable foundation for a custom-made crown.
We believe in transparent pricing so you can make informed decisions about your care. The cost of dental implants varies depending on the complexity of your case and the number of teeth being replaced.
| Treatment | Cost |
|---|---|
| Single implant (fixture + abutment + crown) | $3,000 – $6,500 |
| All-on-4 full arch | $23,000 – $35,000 |
| Implant-supported bridge (3 teeth) | $9,000 – $15,000 |
The implant journey begins with a detailed consultation, including digital imaging and 3D scans to assess your bone density and plan the precise placement of your implant. The titanium post is then placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia — a procedure that most patients find far more comfortable than they expected.
After placement, a healing period of three to six months allows the implant to undergo osseointegration — the process by which the titanium post fuses with your natural bone. This creates an incredibly strong and stable foundation. Once healing is complete, a custom-made porcelain crown is attached to the implant, giving you a tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural one.
Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone are good candidates for dental implants. Factors such as smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and certain medications can affect healing, so a thorough assessment is essential. During your consultation, we'll discuss your medical history, evaluate your bone structure, and recommend the best approach for your individual situation.
For a single-tooth implant (fixture + abutment + crown) most clinics quote AU $3,000 - $6,500. The nationwide mean reported in 2025 surveys is about AU $3,700.
Prices vary with bone-grafting needs, brand, and location: Standard single implant AU $3,000-$6,500; 'All-on-4' full arch AU $23,000-$35,000; Implant-supported bridge (3 teeth) AU $9,000-$15,000.
Generally no — Medicare does not fund adult implant dentistry. Limited help exists only for eligible children (Child Dental Benefits Schedule) and some Veteran Gold/White Card holders.
High upfront cost compared with bridges or dentures. Minor surgery with risks of infection, nerve or sinus injury. Several months' healing before the final crown.
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, modern titanium implants show 90-95% survival at 10-15 years, and many last decades.
Ideal if you have one or more missing teeth, healthy gums, and no major medical issues; adequate jaw-bone density is essential.
The process includes assessment and 3-D scan, surgical placement (30-60 min), osseointegration (3-6 months), and custom abutment and crown placement.
Local anaesthetic makes the procedure painless; most patients report only mild post-op soreness managed with over-the-counter pain relief for 1-3 days.
Brush twice daily, floss or use interdental brushes, avoid smoking, and attend six-monthly professional cleans.
Yes — techniques such as 'All-on-4' use four to six implants to support a fixed bridge, restoring a full upper or lower jaw in one day.
