Hey, it’s Dr. Tony from Smile Lounge in Narre Warren, Melbourne.
Recently, my patient, Michael from Clyde North, popped by during his lunch break to find out about the costs of dental implants. He’d lost a tooth a few months ago but put off treatment as he hadn’t felt any pain from it, just annoyance about the gap between his teeth.
Here’s the thing: a missing tooth isn’t just a gap—it’s a ticking clock.
Think of your teeth like a team. When one player quits, the others pick up the slack. Chewing becomes a grind (literally). Neighbor teeth start leaning into the gap like nosy neighbors. Next thing you know? Crooked smile. Expensive fix. And trust me, you don’t want to wait until it’s a full-blown dental drama.
Now, let’s talk money. Many things go into the fees:
- Firstly clinician expertise – how many implants have they done? What is their track record? Our clinicians have done thousands of implants, so we know a thing or two about them!
- Then there’s the implant components. We only use genuine parts and where possible, we use custom made components created specifically for your tooth, giving us maximum aesthetics and longevity.
A single implant here starts at $6,000. That’s the implant and a custom-made crown. In some cases you’ll need a little extra help—like bone grafting (don’t have enough jaw bone to support a implant) or gum work. We’ll figure that out together.
Look, implants aren’t cheap. But they’re not just a “tooth.” They’re peace of mind. Confidence. A solution that lasts decades. And hey—we get it. $6k isn’t pocket change. That’s why we’ve got your back with payment plans (Humm, TLC), we might even be able to access your Super for the funds.
So if you’re sitting there thinking, “Ugh, but what if…?”—let’s cut the noise. DM us. Call us. Come in for a coffee. We’ll look at your smile, walk you through options, and make a plan that doesn’t wreck your budget.
Because life’s too short to stress over a gap—or a price tag.
