Costs, Eligibility, Payment Options and Risks — Updated August 2026

Your free consultation

Your consultation is free and worth up to $500:

• Up to 60 minutes with a dentist — $200
• X-rays and a 3D scan, where clinically needed — $250
• Oral health check and written treatment plan — $50

We only take scans if there's a clinical reason to. We don't take them just because they're on the list.

You get all of this whether or not you go ahead. There's no obligation, and we don't recover the cost by charging you more for treatment later. Treatment prices are the same for everyone.

Nothing in our advertising means another dentist has got it wrong, or that we're better than anyone else.

Your $500 treatment credit

This is separate from the free consultation. It isn't a condition of it, and you don't have to take it.

• It applies if your implant treatment comes to more than $10,000
• It applies if implants are clinically right for you
• It takes $500 off your total
• It can't be taken as cash or combined with other offers
• It doesn't expire

The credit has no effect on what your dentist recommends. That's decided on clinical grounds only.

What treatment costs

You get a written quote at your consultation. What you see in an ad isn't a quote.

Prices vary depending on how many implants you need, whether you need bone grafting or a sinus lift, what anaesthetic is used, and what type of tooth goes on top.

Payment plans

We work with third-party finance providers to offer payment plans. The providers we work with can change, so we'll confirm your options and give you their details at your consultation. We're not a credit provider ourselves — we don't check your credit, we don't give credit advice, we don't decide whether you're approved, and we don't receive commission from any provider.

"$0 upfront" means we will always offer you at least one payment plan that needs no deposit to start treatment. If you're not approved for it, or you'd rather use a different provider, we'll look at the alternatives with you — some of those may require a deposit. We'll tell you clearly before you commit to anything.

"If eligible" means the lender decides, based on your credit history. Not us, and not at your appointment.

How "from $65 a week" is worked out

This is an example for one implant. It's not a quote and it's not what you'll be charged.

• Treatment: $5,000
• Set-up fee: $395
• Monthly account fee: $14.50
• Paid over: 24 months
• Total you'd repay: $6,750
• Works out at: about $65 a week

This example uses one provider's published fees and includes interest, the set-up fee and monthly account fees. It may not be the provider you're offered. Your rate and fees depend on your credit history and the provider you go with and only they can tell you your actual figure — your total could be higher or lower than this. The provider will give you their comparison rate and full terms in writing before you sign anything.

This example is for a single implant, which is the lowest-cost implant treatment we offer. Patients may need more than one, and the weekly amount rises accordingly. More extensive treatment costs more, and the weekly amount goes up.

Your written quote at your consultation is the only accurate figure.

Using your super

We don't give financial advice. We don't approve, encourage or help with super applications.

You can only access super early for dental treatment through the ATO's Compassionate Release program, and only if you meet strict medical and financial rules. The ATO decides each case on its own. Approval is restricted, it isn't guaranteed, and how long it takes is out of our hands.

If you have savings, finance or health cover available, look at those first. Speak to a licensed financial adviser before you apply.

Who implants suit

To come in for a consultation you need to be 18 or over, living in Australia, and able to attend in person.

Whether implants are right for you is worked out at your appointment. It depends on:

• How much jawbone you have and how dense it is
• Whether your gums are healthy and free of gum disease
• Your general health — diabetes and some conditions and medications affect it
• Whether you smoke
• How your teeth bite together

Implants don't suit everyone. If they're not right for you, your dentist will say so and talk through other options.

Risks

Implant treatment is surgery, and it carries real risks:

• Pain, swelling and bruising
• Infection, including infection around the implant
• Bleeding
• Nerve injury, which can leave your lip, chin or tongue numb — sometimes permanently
• Damage to nearby teeth or blood vessels
• Sinus problems with upper implants
• The implant not bonding to the bone, early on or later
• The implant or tooth loosening, cracking or wearing
• Bone loss around the implant
• Needing more procedures, including bone grafting or having the implant removed

Implants aren't permanent. They may need repair or replacing over time. Treatment runs over several months and you'll need to look after them properly.

Your dentist will go through the risks that apply to you before anything starts.

Booking and your card

When you book, we check your card through Stripe to confirm it's active. Nothing is charged and no money is held. You'll see a $0 entry from us on your statement.

Your card is then stored securely by Stripe so a missed-appointment fee can be charged if one applies. We never see or hold your card number.

If you need to cancel or move your appointment, give us at least 48 hours' notice. If you cancel late or don't turn up, there's a $75 fee — that covers clinical time held for you that can't be filled at short notice.

If something outside your control prevented you from attending, email [email protected] within 7 days with supporting information. We review these case by case. Waivers aren't automatic.

By booking, you're agreeing to your card being stored and to that fee if it applies. You can ask us to remove your card any time.

Your records

Your x-rays, scans, notes and treatment plan belong to the dental practice, and we hold them.

You have the right to a copy of your records at any time. Email [email protected] and we'll arrange it. We'll need your request in writing and proof of who you are, and you'll have it within 30 days. Digital copies are free. If you want it printed, we'll tell you the cost first.

Images

Where an image shows a real patient, we say so and name the procedure and the clinician.

Every other image, including people shown on this page, is illustrative. They aren't patients and don't show treatment results.

If we show you a digital smile preview, it's a simulation. It shows a possible direction, not your final result.

We don't publish patient testimonials, stories or reviews.

About our claims

We say implants can help you feel more confident. That comes from published research, not just our own view.

Studies that ask patients how they're doing before and after treatment keep finding the same pattern: people who replace missing teeth with implants report chewing more comfortably, speaking more clearly, and feeling more at ease around other people than those wearing conventional dentures. One review pooled nine separate trials covering 769 patients and found a clear improvement.

Most of this research follows people replacing several teeth or moving on from dentures, so that's where the findings are strongest. Researchers also note that while the improvement shows up consistently, how large it is varies between studies.

Everyone's different, and no research predicts what will happen for you. Your dentist will talk you through what's realistic in your case.

Staying in touch

When you fill in a form or book with us, you're agreeing that we, and Dental Empire Limited who handle our bookings, can contact you about your enquiry by phone, text, WhatsApp or email.

You can stop this any time. Reply STOP to any message, or email [email protected].

We handle your information under our Privacy Policy and we don't sell it. Some of the companies we use, and some of our own operations, are outside Australia — there's more in our Privacy Policy.

Who we are

This practice is owned and run by AHPRA-registered practitioners. All clinical decisions are made by your treating dentist, based on examining you.

No dentist at this practice calls themselves a specialist unless they're registered with AHPRA as one.

Our bookings, enquiries and advertising are handled on our behalf by Dental Empire Limited. We remain responsible for our advertising, and we'll correct anything that isn't right. If you have a concern about any of our ads, email [email protected].

A few other things

We're not responsible for decisions made on advertising alone, or for what a finance company or the ATO decides. Nothing here takes away rights you have under Australian Consumer Law, or anything your dentist owes you under the law that regulates them.

We update this page from time to time. Whatever's on it when you accept your treatment plan is what applies to you.
