Dental implants consist of a titanium post, which acts as the root of the tooth, and a crown (AKA an artificial tooth). Dental implants are a popular choice for people who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease. In fact, they’re one of the most natural-looking ways to replace missing teeth. Dental implants look, feel and function just like the real thing!
The benefits of dental implants as a long-term tooth replacement option include:
Dental implants are a great way to restore your smile to its former glory, as they look just like natural teeth. This can help you reclaim your self-esteem. Just imagine, no more hiding your smile behind your hand. No more cringing when you hear someone shout ‘smile for the camera’.
Missing teeth can affect your ability to eat, speak and smile with confidence. Dental implants help you to feel like yourself again and get back to doing the things you love.
Missing teeth can cause adjacent teeth to shift and move. This can lead to bite misalignment and problems chewing — not to mention crooked teeth.
Gaps make a great hiding place for bacteria. Getting dental implants makes it easier to brush, floss and maintain good oral health.
Missing teeth can cause the jaw bone to deteriorate, leading to facial sagging. Dental implants not only replace missing teeth, but they also stimulate the jawbone to stop bone loss and maintain your facial structure.
Dental implants are incredibly durable, providing you take good care of them. In general, they can last 15-20 years.
The cost of dental implants in Australia can range from $4,000 to $8,000 for a single dental implant. The key factors that determine the price include:
In general, the more complex your case, the more you can expect to pay for your dental implant procedure. This is because complex cases may require a detailed treatment plan, longer treatment time, and more follow-up appointments.
There’s also a chance that other treatment or surgical procedures may be needed. For example, teeth extraction, bone graft or a sinus lift.
Are we talking single dental implant or multiple implants, as this will impact the overall cost of your dental implants procedure.
It’s worth noting, if three or more teeth in a row are missing, you don’t need three individual implants. This is where an implant-supported bridge comes in handy.
In this case, up to six teeth can be replaced with just two dental implants—one at each end. At Hello Dental, the cost of a dental bridge starts from $4,000.
If all or most of your teeth need replacing, you may benefit from All-on-4. This is a fixed full-mouth teeth replacement solution. All on 4 dental implants cost varies, but you can expect to pay from $18,000 upwards.
As we mentioned earlier, there are two main parts to a dental implant: the implant itself and the crown. The quality and materials used in these components will affect the cost of dental implants treatment.
A titanium implant from a less reputable supplier may come at a lower price tag. Be aware though, cheaper titanium implants may not undergo the same level of rigorous testing as quality implants. This may increase the risk of implant failure.
Likewise, a hand-crafted, premium dental crown made by an experienced ceramist will be more expensive. However, it will last longer and give you a more natural appearance.
Dental implants require careful planning to ensure the best outcome. The skills and experience of your dentist can make a big difference to the success and longevity of your dental implants. Not surprisingly, they can also affect dental implant cost.
However, we think it’s better to know you’re in great hands and that your dentist has performed countless successful implant procedures. Even if it does mean a higher cost of dental implants.
Some people choose to have their dental implant surgery under sedation. This is certainly an option to help you feel more comfortable during the procedure. However, it does come at an additional fee, which will increase the overall cost of dental implants treatment.
We know dental implants are a big decision, but we’re here to help. Let’s chat about all your options. We can even talk about financing options and payment plans to help make the cost more manageable.
