If you're researching how much dental implants cost, you’ve probably noticed one thing: getting a straight answer isn’t easy. Online ranges can swing wildly, and it’s often unclear which numbers are accurate – or which apply to your unique situation.
We’d like to change that.
Many people come to us feeling overwhelmed, already carrying the stress of living with tooth loss. We don’t want confusion about costs to make that harder. So we’re breaking down exactly what the dental implant cost in Australia is, what you can expect to pay at Great Alpine Dental, and why choosing the right approach now can save you thousands (and years of frustration) later.
Dental implants aren’t a small decision – financially or emotionally. They’re a long-term, fixed solution designed to restore your oral function and stability. So the cost reflects far more than a “new tooth.” It represents the quality and longevity of your entire treatment, including:
Many people start their research feeling discouraged by the price alone. But here’s the truth: dental implants are an investment; it’s failed or low-quality work that becomes expensive.
At Great Alpine Dental, we avoid band-aid solutions and quick fixes that don’t last. Implants are designed to serve you for decades, and understanding the dental implant cost upfront helps you make the right decision for your long-term oral health.
Before we dive into costs, it helps to understand what dental implants actually are – and the types we offer here at Great Alpine Dental.
Dental implants are a highly realistic, long-lasting tooth replacement option that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. A small titanium post acts as an artificial tooth root and is surgically inserted into the jawbone for exceptional stability. On top of this, we attach a custom-made crown that’s handcrafted in Australia and colour-matched perfectly to your smile.
Implants are ideal for patients wanting a reliable, fixed solution to replace missing natural teeth – restoring function while supporting long-term oral health. At Great Alpine Dental, we offer many types of dental implants, including single dental implants, implant-supported bridges, and full arch options like All-on-4. More on those in a sec.
Across Australia, the cost of dental implants can vary significantly depending on your needs and the clinic you visit. As a general guide:
These figures vary based on the implant system used, the experience of the clinician, the quality of the crown or bridge, and the type of treatment you require.
Some people look for the cheapest dental implants available, only to discover later that lower-cost clinics often cut corners with:
Dental implant treatment is something you want done once – and done right.
So where does Great Alpine Dental sit within these ranges, and what exactly do you get for your investment? Let’s dive in.
We believe in full transparency. After your initial consultation ($260) and CBCT scan if needed ($375), you’ll receive a detailed treatment plan with a clear fee breakdown and no sneaky add-ons.
Here’s what you can expect for each type of implant treatment at Great Alpine Dental.
For patients replacing one missing tooth (or a few), single dental implants offer the most natural, durable result. Your new tooth will look, feel, and function just like the real thing.
Every crown is handcrafted in Australia to ensure exceptional fit, strength, and longevity.
If you’re missing three or more teeth in a row, a multiple-implant bridge may be your ideal option. Two or more implants act as anchors for a durable, natural-looking bridge.
For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, or are struggling with dentures, All-on-4 offers a stable, full-arch restoration using just four strategically placed implants.
Every All-on-4 treatment at Great Alpine Dental is planned using trusted, long-standing European implant brands paired with precision-crafted Australian-made bridges, ensuring premium quality from start to finish.

Total including Stage 1: $33,400 per jaw
Whether you choose zirconia or reinforced acrylic, your final bridge is meticulously handcrafted in Australia and fitted with precision by Dr Amit for optimal comfort, function, and longevity.
Costs matter, but so does knowing exactly what you're signing up for. Many clinics list an attractive price upfront, only to add fees later for:
At Great Alpine Dental, we do things differently.

We recommend booking a no-obligation consultation with our qualified dental team, where you’ll receive a detailed treatment plan and a clear breakdown of all costs involved.

Short answer: yes! We understand that dental implants are a significant investment – and we never want cost to be the reason someone misses out on restoring their oral health.
To make treatment more accessible, we offer a variety of payment plans. And because treatment is completed in stages, you often have several months between steps, giving you time to prepare financially without pressure.
Some patients may be able to claim a portion of associated costs (such as consultations or sedation), but dental implants themselves are typically not covered by Medicare. You may be able to claim part of the treatment if you have a private health fund, depending on your cover.
In certain situations, you may be eligible to access your superannuation early to help cover treatment costs (provided you meet the eligibility requirements).
We can walk you through all available options, so you’re never left guessing about what’s possible for your situation.
When researching “dental implants cost Australia,” you’ll notice huge variations between clinics – and even between states. Here’s why:
Implant dentistry is highly specialised. A dentist’s qualifications and experience play a major role in both the cost and the long-term success of the treatment.
At Great Alpine Dental, Dr Amit is one of the most highly trained implant clinicians in the country, holding a PG Diploma in Implant Therapy, completing advanced training at the Kois Center in the US, and bringing over 15 years of dental experience to every case.
Cheaper implant brands often lack clinical research, precision engineering, and long-term durability. Great Alpine Dental uses premium implants for their proven success and exceptional biocompatibility.
The materials used for your final teeth affect both cost and longevity.
Some patients require bone grafting, sinus lifts, extractions, or gum disease treatment before implants can be placed. This is essential for long-term success, not an “extra cost.”
Our Myrtleford clinic is equipped with advanced technology (CBCT, microscopes, CAD/CAM, lasers) usually found in major city centres but without the metro price tag.
Implants are not a quick procedure. Successful treatment requires careful planning, follow-up care, and meticulous attention to detail. Any dental clinic providing fast or cheap implant options often cuts corners in these areas.
In a word: yes – when done properly.
Dental implants offer benefits that no other tooth replacement option can match.
Eat comfortably again – apples, crusty bread, steak, you name it.
Your final teeth are crafted to blend beautifully into your smile.
With proper care, implants can last decades – often a lifetime.
Most importantly, high-quality implants placed by an experienced clinician can save you thousands down the track by avoiding repairs, failures, or corrective work.
