A Dental Implant is an option to restore a missing tooth or multiple teeth in the jaw. It is one of the most successful treatments to replace missing teeth (95-98% success rate based on studies), and is also the least invasive option concerning adjacent teeth.

It does not involve cutting down healthy adjacent teeth such as seen in dental bridge, and is a fixed option that is less likely to trap food and bacteria such as a removable denture.

It will feel SIMILAR to natural tooth, since that it is attached to the jaw bone unlike that of a dental bridge or denture. However it will not feel exactly the same as a natural tooth due to the difference of how natural tooth root is attached to the jaw bone comparing to the dental implant. Which is why we still regard dental implants Sydney as an option only if no other options are available to restore a broken/fractured/decayed tooth. For best options to restore a heavily broken down tooth please refer to Dental Crowns.

We offer a competitive rate for our Basic Dental Implant* and restoration (Website special price of $5199). We keep our costs down by performing the procedure EFFICIENTLY and PRECISELY, as well as utilising state of the art dental equipment such as low radiation Cone Beam CT scan, CADCAM** generated ceramic crown, and precision milled dental implant system made in USA.

Unlike some surgeries, our quote will usually cover most of the procedure including the Cone Beam CT scan, implant surgery and implant crown. A 5 year warranty applies to patients who have attended for regular six month gap-free check-up and clean at any of our surgery locations (for those without health funds this is capped at $219 per visit).

*Does not include bone augmentation/grafting treatment, or soft tissue surgery which may be necessary to improve the function or aesthetic of the implant restoration. Simple bone grafting can be performed at the time of surgery at $300 additional fee. For procedure that requires specialist care, a referral will be made to one of our trusted specialists, or one preferred by you.

** Cerec chairside crown made to fit the implant abutment is the standard treatment provided with this promotion. If you prefer an implant crown made by a dental lab, the dentist will advise you of the lab fee that may incur on top of the promotional price.

The tooth implant process consists of placing a high-grade titanium alloy implant root analogue (artificial dental root) into the jaw bone that has been prepared to receive the implant. Once the implant root is placed, the bone is allowed to heal between 3-9 months.

This is the most crucial step in implant procedure as failure tends to occur during this phase due to infection during healing or body’s own foreign body reaction. Smokers and patients who are immunocompromised (such as diabetics, patients going through chemotherapy, etc) are more prone to implant failures due to reduced resistance to bacterial infection and poorer healing capabilities.

Upon integration of the implant to the jaw bone (Osseointegration), the dentist will then place an abutment to the implant (similar to a tooth prepared to receive a dental crown or bridge), followed by the final restoration (crown or bridge). Newer technology have allowed the abutment and crown to be fused as one piece design to improve strength and stability, but is not always possible. Your dentist will discuss with you the best option suited to you.
