Experience Unparalleled Excellence at Sydney Dental Implants: Your Destination for Single Tooth Perfection. Our elite team of dental artisans are dedicated to crafting your most radiant and confident smile, meticulously focusing on each individual tooth restoration.
A single-tooth implant, an intricate dental solution, replaces a missing tooth with a titanium post implanted into the jawbone, mimicking the original root. This technique enhances your smile’s aesthetics and ensures jawbone integrity, providing a robust and natural-feeling tooth replacement.
The outcome of a single-tooth implant is a stable, authentic-looking solution for a missing tooth, bypassing the necessity for removable prosthetics. Tailored for aesthetic harmony and practical utility, this implant offers individuals a durable, seamless option that adeptly replicates the sensation and look of a real tooth.
In Sydney, the cost for a single tooth implant starts from around $6,490, which covers the implant itself. These figures represent out-of-pocket expenses, not accounting for any private health insurance coverage you might have. This total includes consultation fees, but the final cost could vary based on individual needs, treatment types, and the number of implants required.
The overall price encompasses consultation, the implant, the metal abutment, crown creation, surgical fees, and any necessary bone grafts or additional procedures, like CT scans or tooth extractions, depending on specific oral health conditions. The complexity of each case, such as the need to address gum disease or other complications, makes it challenging to estimate the exact cost without a detailed consultation.

This first step is your introduction to our personalised implant journey. During this Initial session, we discuss your dental history, current needs, and desired outcomes. It’s an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to understand your specific case, ensuring that a single tooth implant is the right solution for you.
Utilising cutting-edge technology, we conduct a thorough assessment of your oral structure. Our digital 3D dental mapping provides a detailed view of your jawbone, surrounding teeth, and gums. This precision imaging is crucial for planning the implant procedure, ensuring the best possible fit and alignment with your natural teeth.
Caring for your new tooth mirrors the upkeep of natural ones, given their permanent nature. It’s advised to brush diligently twice daily. In the initial post-procedure months, favouring a softer diet—like noodles, eggs, or poultry—will aid the osseointegration of the implant with the jawbone.
Routine dental visits ensure your smooth transition and minimise rick for optimal dental health.
A few months post-implant, Sydney Dental Implants will evaluate the implant’s integration and, if required, make minor tweaks. Once implants are firmly anchored, you can enjoy all food varieties.
For the long run, stick to basic dental care routines and schedule periodic professional cleanings, similar to natural tooth care!

Your tooth implant procedure will involve local anesthesia to numb the area being worked on. However, if you’re particularly anxious or if the procedure is complex, we are able to provide sleep sedation options. These can range from oral sedatives to IV sedation, depending on your needs. It’s important to discuss your concerns and preferences with our team before the procedure.
You shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure due to the anesthesia. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort or mild pain as the anesthesia wears off. This is typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our team will provide specific aftercare instructions to minimise any discomfort.
We do not advise going overseas for dental implants as it creates extra risks due to potential differences in regulatory standards, training, and materials used. For example, getting the surgery overseas complicates post-operation follow-up care. Such complications include difficulty in monitoring the healing process, addressing potential complications, making necessary adjustments, and receiving guidance on oral hygiene specific to dental implants. These challenges are exacerbated by potential communication barriers, inconsistency in treatment standards, and the additional costs and inconvenience of travel for follow-up visits.
Therefore, it’s generally safer and more practical to have dental implants placed and cared for by a local dental professional who can provide consistent, accessible follow-up care.
Active gum disease can be a barrier to getting a dental implant, as it can affect the health of the gums and the bone needed to support the implant. Before proceeding with an implant, treating any gum disease is essential. By booking a consultation with one of our dentists or oral health therapists who will be able to evaluate your oral health and determine whether you’re a candidate for implants.
Dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care and good oral hygiene. The crown attached to the implant, however, typically lasts about 10 to 15 years before it may need replacement due to wear and tear.
The actual implant surgery usually takes 1-2 hours per implant. However, the entire process, from initial evaluation to final placement of the crown, can take several months. This includes time for healing and for the implant to integrate with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.
