Dental Implant Cost · Sydney
Itemised dental implant fees at Dr Pierre Dentistry, Edgecliff — $5,000 for a single-tooth implant and crown — and what changes the price.
Transparent Fees
A single-tooth dental implant at Dr Pierre Dentistry, Edgecliff, is $5,000: $2,500 for the implant fixture (surgical placement) and $2,500 for the implant crown. This is the fee for a straightforward single-tooth replacement with adequate bone; it includes the surgical guide, the abutment and the final crown.
The planning CBCT (3D) scan is provided at no additional cost when clinically required. Bone grafting, sinus lift procedures and full-arch (All-on-4) treatment are quoted individually after assessment, because the extent of treatment varies between patients.

Why fees vary
Number of implants and teeth replaced. A bridge on two implants can replace three or four teeth, so the cost per tooth falls as the number of teeth rises.
Bone volume. Where bone has shrunk after tooth loss, grafting may be needed before or during implant placement. This adds a separate fee and extends the treatment time.
Site and complexity. Front teeth demand more work on the gum shape and crown aesthetics; implants near the sinus or nerve need more planning.
Health fund cover. Extras cover varies widely. Items 688 and 671 are commonly rebatable under major dental cover; the rebate depends on your fund and level. Item numbers are provided on your quote so you can check with your fund before deciding.
Implant placement is a surgical procedure with risks including infection, bleeding, nerve effects, implant failure, and anaesthesia complications.
Implant failure occurs in a minority of cases and is more likely in smokers, patients with uncontrolled diabetes, or those with poor oral hygiene.
Implants need ongoing maintenance. Gum disease around an implant (peri-implantitis) can lead to implant loss if untreated.
Individual results vary. Alternatives (a bridge, a partial denture, or no treatment) and their costs are discussed at consultation. Full details: treatment information.
