Cost of Dental Implants

A Short Guide to the Cost of Dental Implants in Australia

What Do Dental Implants Cost on the Gold Coast?

Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, and the cost varies from person to person. Most of our patients want a clear, simple guide before they decide if dental implants are the right option for them. At ArtSmiles, we understand because we have families and commitments to juggle, too. Our dentists walk you through each step so you can plan your treatment with confidence, knowing exactly what to expect.

We understand. We’ve got families to provide for as well, and we know how difficult it can be to juggle all of your needs. However, dental implants might just be more affordable than you think. The good news is that there are financing options available to get dental implant surgery with little or no money down.

In fact, when it comes to dental implant costs, many patients are surprised by how flexible our payment options can be. You can always contact us to discuss your goals or schedule your consultation online to get started.

What affects the cost of dental implants?

The cost of your dental implants will depend on what you are having done. Every smile is different, and each dental implant plan is tailored to your unique circumstances. 

Here’s what influences dental implants cost:

  • The number of implants needed
  • The position of the missing tooth or teeth
  • The health of your gums and jawbone
  • The type of implant and crown materials used (i.e titanium) 
  • Any need for bone grafting or tooth extractions
  • The complexity of your individual case and the time involved to correct it

We offer two complimentary ways to evaluate your smile and discuss potential treatment approaches: 

    • Virtual consultations allow our dentists to assess your smile, discuss your treatment plan, give you a clear, upfront quote and discuss flexible payment options. 
    • In-person consultations offer a complete assessment with all necessary exams, a detailed treatment plan and a personalised payment plan. 

How much does a single dental implant cost in Australia?

The average range for the entire dental implant procedure at our Gold Coast clinic usually falls between $3000 and $6200. 

This fee may include: 

  • The titanium implant
  • The abutment
  • A custom crown
  • Scans or X-rays, planning and review visits

Your oral health, bone density and treatment goals will guide the final cost.

Are dental implants worth the cost long term?

Learning more about dental implants really helps you make an informed decision about your treatment options. Ultimately, results, recovery and longevity vary between individuals. 

For many of our patients, dental implants are a great solution because they:

  • Feel stable and secure
  • Look natural
  • Help to protect the jawbone from deterioration

Dentures and bridges can wear down over time and usually need to be repaired or replaced every 5-10 years. 

With proper care, dental implants could last decades. For most patients, it is seen as a long-term investment in comfort, health, and function. A consultation is the best space to discuss your specific situation, assess suitability and explain all the risks and benefits.

No, Medicare does not usually cover the cost of dental implants in Australia.

In rare cases, Medicare may help when a treatment relates to a medical condition or a hospital stay. 

Be sure to speak to your dentist and to Medicare directly if your circumstances fall into that category. 

Otherwise, most of our patients rely on their private health fund or payment plan options instead.
