Perth's Trusted Dental Implant Provider

Dental implants are generally suitable for patients with healthy gums, teeth and sufficient bone density where the implant will be placed. However, if you have a dental issue such as gum disease, it should need to be managed first before proceeding with the treatment.

Our dental team at DaVinci Smiles can help you determine your candidacy through an initial examination and possibly additional testing such as X-rays and 3D mouth scans. Getting dental implants can make a big difference to your oral health, so let us assist you with your decision. Schedule your complimentary consultation today.

Dental implants are an advanced treatment option that can restore your smile and provide a wide range of benefits. These include:

• Prevents further bone loss
  When you lose one or more of your natural teeth, the surrounding bones begin to recede. This happens because those bones no longer receive stimulation from the missing teeth, so the body begins to reabsorb them back into itself. However, when you opt for dental implants instead of traditional bridges and dentures, the stimulation level is restored, preventing further bone loss and preserving facial structure.
  
  
• Matches your natural teeth
  Dental implants are designed to replicate your natural teeth as closely as possible. They’re custom-made to match the shape and shade of your existing pearly whites, giving them an incredibly natural appearance. In fact, most people won’t even be able to tell that you have an implant!
  
  
• Restores bite force
  Traditional bridges and dentures don’t always sit flush against the gums, making it difficult to eat certain foods without slipping them out of place. Thankfully, with dental implants in place, that issue is managed; they act like natural teeth by providing optimal bite force that allows you to enjoy all your favorite foods easily.
  
  
• Promotes a youthful appearance
  When someone loses their natural teeth, it can cause their face to appear sunken in due to lack of support from their jawbone and gums, which leads to an aged appearance. However, having dental implants helps support these areas and promotes a more youthful look which helps boost people’s confidence levels!
  
  
• Enables natural speech
  If you’ve ever worn traditional dentures before, you know how difficult it can be to speak clearly while wearing them. That’s another issue that’s addressed by dental implants; since they feel just like regular teeth do when speaking naturally, there’s no worry about slurring words or mumbling anymore!
  
  
• A long-term teeth replacement option
  Dental implants are designed for long-term use; with proper maintenance and care, they can last up to 20 to 30 years! This makes a cost-effective option available when replacing missing teeth and maintaining oral health over time.

Dental implants offer many features for replacing missing teeth, but they also come with potential risks. The most common issues reported for dental implants include the following:

• Infection at the implant site.
• Injury or damage to the surrounding teeth, blood vessels, or jaw due to poor placement of the implant.
• Rejection of the implant due to an allergic reaction or poor fit.
• Sinus problems if the upper jaw is not properly prepared when receiving an implant.

While these concerns are serious and should certainly be discussed with your dentist before proceeding to any procedure involving implants, they’re all relatively rare, don’t usually happen to patients, and can be managed with our qualified team of professionals.

There are several factors that can affect the cost of dental implants, including the number of implants needed, the type of implant used, the location of the implant in the mouth, the complexity of the case, and the experience and training of the implant surgeon. These costs are before health insurance rebates and payment plans available.

Here is a breakdown of the average cost of different types of dental implants:

Single tooth implant: The cost of a single tooth implant typically ranges from $5,000 to $7,000. This price includes the implant itself, the abutment (the connector that holds the crown in place), and the crown (the artificial tooth).

Implant-supported bridge: The cost of an implant-supported bridge (which replaces two or more missing teeth) ranges from $8,500 to $15,000. This price includes the implant itself, the abutment, and the bridge.

All-on-4 dental implants: The cost of All-on-4 dental implants (which use four implants to support a full arch of teeth) ranges from $25,000 to $35,000. This price includes the implants, the abutments, and the full arch of teeth.

Full mouth reconstruction: The cost of a full mouth reconstruction (which may involve a combination of implants, bridges, and crowns) starts from $35,000 or more, depending on the specific needs of the patient.

It’s important to note that these prices are just estimates, and the actual cost of dental implants may vary based on your specific circumstances. It’s always a good idea to book your complimentary consultation with our DaVinci smiles consultant to get a more accurate quote.

Many factors can affect implant prices, depending on:

Location: The cost of dental procedures varies from city to city. For example, implants are more expensive in Sydney due to the overall costs of living and wages. Dentists in Sydney have to charge more for the dental implant process as opposed to those in Perth or Melbourne. Generally, it is cheaper for people living in regional areas of Australia to access dental treatments compared to big cities.

Type Of Implants:
Prices and lifespans of dental implants vary depending on the quality of the brand. Top-tier brands can make investments in research that make their product more expensive but with higher quality outcomes. In contrast, other brands rely solely on market competition for pricing, leading to lower quality products. 

Experience Of The Dentist: Over time, dentists must constantly keep up with the latest techniques and trends in their field. They dedicate a lot of their time to developing new skills, attending training programs, and furthering their education – all for the sake of improving themselves. As they invest more into themselves, you’ll see an increase in fees.

Complexity: The price of dental care varies depending on how complex the issue is. More complicated dental problems might take longer to treat, and they are typically more expensive than straight tooth implant placement. Thus, the cost may increase substantially if you need additional surgical procedures such as bone graft and sinus lift for a successful surgery.

Yes, it is common for patients to be given sedation or anaesthesia during the placement of dental implants. This is done to ensure that the patient is comfortable and does not feel any pain during the procedure. The type of sedation or anaesthesia used will depend on the individual patient’s needs and preferences, as well as the specific procedure being performed. 

Here at DaVinci Smiles, We have an in-house anaesthetist who is trained to administer sedation and anaesthesia to patients. It is important to discuss your options with your dentist or oral surgeon in order to determine the best approach for your specific situation.
