In this post I want to cover that all important question on every dental patients mind - How much do dental implants cost in Australia?
I have been a practicing implant dentist since 1993, also I am the clinical mentor and principal for 8 Dental Practices in Queensland... While I won't claim to know everything, I do know a good average cost of dental implants in Australia.
What to consider before treatment
When considering dental implants pricing, the first question to consider is you're location in Australia. Prices can vary based on the locations of the dental implant clinics and reputation and experience of the Dental Implant Surgeons. Cost can also vary depending on where you live, for example the cost of dental implant Melbourne, Vic could be significantly higher than that of the Gold Coast, Qld.
Cost of dental implants "can" go up based on two factors:
- Location of the Implant Clinic - i.e. Melbourne v.s. Gold Coast
- Reputation of the dental implant surgeons
In most cases (ask your dentist) the price of dental implants in Australia will include the placement of a Implant (or "dental fixture") is around $2000.
Note: This is for the implant surgical treatment only.
Usually a 3-6 month healing period follows, depending on amount of implants... After a full healing process - an abutment and a crown is placed and attached to the fixture by your implant dentist. This process which involves several visits, will usually cost around $500, taking the total to $2500.
Note #2: Dental Implant prices will vary according to the need for bone grafting and provisionalisation.
