Dental implants in Melbourne, with a clear plan.

How an implant comes together

Fixture, abutment, crown. Four steps, one new tooth.

01

Free assessment with CBCT 3D imaging

We start with a thorough examination, then chart your bone, nerve pathways and bite using CBCT 3D imaging plus digital scans — millimetre-level planning finished long before surgery begins.

02

Guided placement day

Following that digital plan, the titanium fixture goes into the jaw during a guided procedure. Prefer to be unaware of any of it? Sedation and general anaesthesia are on offer.

03

Osseointegration — the quiet phase

In the weeks that follow, the fixture fuses with your bone and settles into an immovable anchor — this is the biology behind an implant's permanence.

04

The finished restoration

Finally your bridge, crown or full arch is fitted — shade-matched to neighbouring teeth, checked against your bite, and made for everyday eating and speaking.

All-on-4 · Whole-arch treatment

Every tooth in the arch, replaced. On just four to six implants.

When an entire upper or lower arch is missing — or the remaining teeth are failing and can't be saved — All-on-4 anchors one fixed bridge on 4–6 implants set at carefully calculated angles.

A same-day smile. Most cases leave surgery with a fixed provisional bridge already attached that day — so there's no toothless wait.
Bone grafts, rarely. Because the rear implants are angled into bone you already have, many patients avoid grafting altogether.
Anchored for good. These teeth don't come out at night — no adhesive, no soaking glass, no shifting mid-meal.
Asleep if you wish. Sedation or general anaesthesia can cover the entire procedure, start to finish.

Sedation & GA · Sleep dentistry

Dread the dental chair? Be asleep for the whole thing.

For many people it isn't money that delays new teeth — it's nerves. Implant and All-on-4 procedures can therefore be carried out with sedation, or under general anaesthesia: you drift off, the clinical work happens, and the difficult part is already over when you open your eyes.

Sedation, oral or IV — a deeply calm, drowsy state, and most patients remember little or nothing afterwards.
Full general anaesthesia — complete sleep for extended surgery such as All-on-4, with an anaesthetist overseeing you throughout.
Comfort as standard — sedated or not, every appointment is designed to feel unhurried, calm and gentle.

Ways to pay

Serious dentistry, sensibly financed.

Replacing teeth costs real money, and we'd rather that never be the barrier. At either clinic you can stage your payments, claim rebates instantly and — where eligibility allows — draw on your super.

Option 01

Instalments through humm & Zip

Break the cost into steady repayments via humm and Zip. Approved applicants can access 0% interest periods, and no-deposit options are available too.

Option 02

Instant HICAPS rebates

Your private health fund rebate is processed through HICAPS while you're still with us — the gap is all you pay on the day.

Option 03

Treatment in stages

Bigger cases don't have to be paid in one hit — the work can be sequenced so expenses fall gradually across the course of treatment.

Option 04

Superannuation, released early*

Where implants or All-on-4 are medically necessary, eligible patients can apply to access super ahead of time — and we supply the clinical documentation your application needs.

*Accessing superannuation early requires ATO approval and depends on eligibility under compassionate release provisions. Payment plans remain subject to each provider's credit assessment and terms. Before any treatment starts you'll hold a personalised, itemised quote from your consultation — nothing unexpected later.

Complimentary implant assessment

Begin with imaging, decide later.

Your complimentary implant assessment covers a full examination, intraoral scans and advanced 3D imaging that shape your personalised plan — pricing and payment options are laid out clearly before you commit to anything.

What patients ask us

The questions we hear most, answered plainly.

What do dental implants cost in Melbourne?
Expect between $4,500 and $6,500 for a single implant, depending on what your mouth needs; full-arch All-on-4 treatment is priced individually once 3D imaging has been taken. Before anything begins you'll have a fixed, itemised quote from your free consultation — and the cost can be spread through payment plans, HICAPS claiming or, for eligible patients, early release of super*.
Is implant treatment painful?
Far less than most people expect — the site is completely numbed before we begin, and plenty of patients tell us recovery felt gentler than having a tooth out. For anyone who's nervous, or booked for a longer procedure, sedation and general anaesthesia are available so you can be asleep from beginning to end.
Could All-on-4 work for me?
It's designed for people who have lost most or all of the teeth in an arch, or whose remaining teeth are failing and heading that way. The rear implants are angled to make the most of the bone you already have, which is why many patients previously told they'd need bone grafting still qualify. A CBCT 3D scan taken during your complimentary consultation settles the question for certain.
What's the lifespan of a dental implant?
Looked after well — daily hygiene plus routine check-ups — the fixture itself can serve you for decades, because it fuses with the jawbone and works the way a natural tooth root does. The crowns and bridges it carries may eventually need replacing, in the same way natural teeth need ongoing care.
Is paying with superannuation actually possible?
For eligible patients, yes — the ATO permits superannuation to be released early, on compassionate grounds, where dental treatment is medically necessary. We prepare the clinical reports and quotes your application calls for, and our team will explain each step at your consultation.*
Does it matter which clinic I book at?
Not at all — pick whichever suits your life. Grey Street Dentist in St Kilda looks after bayside and inner Melbourne, and Synergy Dental Group in Parkdale takes care of the south-east. Both run the identical digital planning workflow to the identical clinical standards, and your records transfer between them whenever needed.
