Why do implant prices vary so much?
Prices vary because treatment may include extraction, grafting, temporary teeth, different implant components, custom crowns, full arch prosthetics, sedation and maintenance. Anatomy and health risk also affect planning.
Is the crown included in the implant price?
It depends on the quote. Some fees only describe surgical placement, while others include the final crown. Always ask for an itemised written estimate. The itemised item-code catalogue further down this page lists the individual ADA dental item numbers and typical fees for our single implant bundle.
Does health insurance cover dental implants?
Some extras policies contribute to selected item numbers, but rebates vary. Give your fund the itemised plan before treatment so you can estimate out-of-pocket costs.
Can I stage treatment over time?
Often yes, because implant treatment naturally has stages. However, delaying some steps can affect temporary teeth, bite stability or bone changes, so timing should be planned clinically.
What is the cost difference between one implant and full arch implants?
Full arch treatment is substantially different because it may involve removing teeth, placing multiple implants, fitting temporary teeth and making a final prosthesis. See the full mouth implants guide.
How Much Does Dental Implants Cost In Brisbane?
At Brisbane Dental Implants, a single implant bundle for suitable site-ready cases
starts from $3,995. This covers the entire process from consultation to the final crown.
What are the disadvantages of dental implants?
The main considerations are the initial cost and the time required for healing
(usually 3–6 months). However, they are often considered the most stable and long-lasting tooth
replacement option.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, the titanium implant screw can last a lifetime. The prosthetic crown
or bridge typically lasts 10-15 years before it may need replacement due to normal wear and tear.
Is the dental implant consultation free?
Yes, our initial assessment is free of charge and includes a 3D CBCT scan (valued at
$300 RRP). This allows us to provide you with an accurate, fixed-price quote.
Are there different brands of dental implants?
Yes, we use several systems. MIS is our high-quality standard brand, while Astra Tech
and Straumann are premium systems preferred for specific clinical situations.
What is included in the $3,995 single implant bundle?
The bundle includes the initial consultation, 3D CBCT scan, surgical placement of the
implant, all healing reviews, and the final zirconia or ceramic crown.
Do you offer payment plans for dental implants?
Yes, we offer flexible payment options to help spread the cost. Since treatment takes
place over several months, the costs are naturally split across your appointments. You can learn more about interest-free and early super release options on our dental implant payment plans page.
Can I use my superannuation for dental implants?
Yes, many patients access their superannuation early for essential dental treatment.
We can provide the necessary documentation and guide you through the process.
Who is a good candidate for dental implants?
Good candidates have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone to support the implant. We
assess your medical history and bone volume during your free consultation.
What happens if I don't have enough bone for implants?
If bone volume is low, we can often perform a bone graft or sinus lift to create a
stable foundation for the implant. This is all planned and performed in-house.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel pain during
surgery. Most patients report only minor discomfort during the first few days of healing.
How many visits are required for a dental implant?
A standard case involves about 7-9 short visits over 4-6 months, including
consultation, surgery, healing reviews, and final crown appointments.
What is the difference between standard and premium implants?
Premium brands like Astra Tech have decades of clinical research and may offer better
long-term bone maintenance in specific scenarios.
