Dental Implant Costs
Transparent pricing information and itemised treatment estimates for single, multiple and full-arch dental implant procedures.
Dental implant treatment is one of the most personalised procedures in dentistry. No two cases are identical, the cost of your treatment will depend on how many teeth need replacing, the condition of your jawbone, whether additional procedures such as bone grafting are required, and the type of implant restoration that is most appropriate for your situation.
The prices below are guide figures based on our current fee schedule. All costs will be confirmed in your personalised treatment plan following a consultation and, where appropriate, 3D imaging.
Initial Consultation and 3D Imaging
Every implant journey begins with a thorough consultation and diagnostic assessment. This allows Dr. Desmond Ng to assess your bone quality and volume, oral health, gum condition and overall suitability for implant treatment before any treatment is recommended or quoted.
Comprehensive Implant Assessment
Includes clinical examination, oral health review, medical history discussion, treatment goal assessment and discussion of suitable implant options.
Fee applies, confirmed at booking
3D Imaging and Implant Planning
Cone beam CT imaging may be used to assess jawbone volume and anatomy and assist with implant planning and assessment of any preparatory procedures that may be required.
From $259
A single dental implant can be used to replace one missing tooth and is typically completed in two clinical stages. The implant post is placed first and allowed to integrate with the jawbone, followed by the final crown restoration once healing is confirmed.
Single Back Tooth Implant
Starting from $5,800
Typically includes two stages:
- Stage 1, Implant placement surgery: from $2,550
- Stage 2, Final porcelain crown restoration: from $2,400
Back tooth implants may be used to replace missing teeth in the premolar and molar regions.
Single Front Tooth Implant
Starting from $6,300
Typically includes two stages:
- Stage 1, Implant placement surgery: from $2,550
- Stage 2, Final porcelain crown restoration: from $2,900
Front tooth implants may require additional aesthetic planning due to their position in the visible smile zone.
Full Arch Implant Costs
Full arch implant treatment may be used to replace an upper or lower arch of teeth using multiple implants to support a fixed bridge. This may be an option for some patients who have lost most or all of their teeth and are considering an alternative to removable dentures.
Full Arch Implant Solutions
Starting from $25,500 per arch
Depending on individual suitability and treatment requirements, treatment may include implant placement, an interim implant-supported restoration during healing, and a final fixed implant bridge. The exact scope depends on your bone structure, oral health and desired outcome. A personalised treatment plan with itemised costs will be provided following your consultation and 3D imaging.
Temporary Teeth During Healing
In some cases, temporary restorations may be recommended during the healing phase between implant placement and the final restoration. Options include:
Removable Temporary Teeth
A removable interim solution during healing.
From $230
Bonded Temporary Teeth
A fixed interim restoration bonded to adjacent teeth.
From $500
Immediate Temporary on Implant
A temporary crown may be attached to the implant at or around the time of placement where clinically appropriate.
From $600
Bone Grafting and Additional Procedure Costs
Some patients require preparatory procedures before implant placement can occur. The amount and condition of available bone and gum tissue may influence treatment planning and implant outcomes. Where these procedures are required, they will be clearly outlined in your treatment plan.
Soft Tissue (Gum) Grafting
May be used to increase gum tissue volume around the implant site where clinically indicated.
From $400
Hard Tissue Bone Grafting
Bone grafting may be used to increase available bone volume where clinically indicated.
From $400
Sinus Lift Procedure
May be considered where there is insufficient bone height in the upper jaw in the region of the sinus to support implant placement.
From $500, $2,500
3D Imaging and Planning
Cone beam CT imaging may be recommended to assess bone volume and anatomy and assist with implant planning.
From $259
Implant Supported Denture Costs
Implant-supported dentures use dental implants to provide additional support and retention for an existing or new denture.
Single Implant Denture Stabilisation
One implant may be used to provide additional denture retention where clinically appropriate. Includes conversion of an existing denture where clinically appropriate.
From $3,250
Two Implant Denture Stabilisation
Two implants may be used to provide additional stability and retention, including for some lower dentures where clinically appropriate.
From $6,000
Why Do Dental Implant Costs Vary?
Every patient’s implant journey is different. The factors that most commonly influence the overall cost of treatment include:
- Number of teeth being replaced
- Location of the missing tooth or teeth (front vs back)
- Jawbone quality and volume at the implant site
- Whether bone grafting or sinus lifting is required before placement
- Whether gum grafting is needed
- Type of final restoration required (crown, bridge or denture)
- Complexity of the surgical procedure
- Whether temporary teeth are needed during healing
- Number of implants required for full arch solutions

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implant Costs
Why can’t you give me an exact price without a consultation?
Dental implant costs are determined by your individual clinical situation, bone volume, number of teeth, whether grafting is needed, and the type of restoration required. These factors can only be assessed through an examination and, in most cases, 3D imaging. An exact treatment cost cannot be confirmed until your individual treatment requirements have been assessed.
Are the prices listed the total cost of treatment?
The prices listed are starting-from guides for each component of treatment. Your total cost will depend on which stages and procedures are required for your specific case. A complete, itemised treatment plan is provided following your consultation so you have a full picture of all costs before deciding whether to proceed.
Do you offer payment plans for dental implants?
Please contact our team directly to discuss payment options. Our team can discuss any available payment options, including applicable terms and conditions. Payment options will be discussed as part of your treatment planning appointment.
Can I use my health fund for dental implants?
Rebates may be available through your private health extras cover for some components of implant treatment. Entitlements depend on your fund, policy, waiting periods and annual limits. We recommend contacting your fund before your appointment. Our team can provide item numbers from your treatment plan to assist with your enquiry.
Why does a front tooth implant cost more than a back tooth?
Front teeth are located in the visible smile zone and may require additional aesthetic planning. The design and fabrication of a front tooth restoration may involve additional aesthetic considerations, which can affect the treatment cost.
Do I definitely need bone grafting and will it add to the cost?
Not all patients require bone grafting. Whether grafting is needed depends on the volume and quality of bone at the implant site, which is assessed clinically and with appropriate imaging, which may include 3D imaging. If grafting is required, it will be included in your treatment plan with its own itemised cost before any treatment proceeds.
