Dental Implant Treatments take two stages:
- The Dental Implant is surgically placed in the Jaw
- The Porcelain Crown is created and placed onto the Dental Implant
There is a delay of between two and six months between these two stages to wait for bone growth and integration, similar the a broken bone healing.
The Dental Implant is surgically placed in the Jaw
The first, upfront, cost is to put the brisbane dental implant into your jaw. The cost of brisbane dental implants depends on the number of implants you require and this generally ranges in Brisbane from two thousand dollars to three thousand dollars.
Indicative Price: $2,200
The Porcelain Crown is created and placed onto the Dental Implant
The second cost, which is delayed until after healing is the price for the top of the tooth or teeth to go onto the dental implant/s. This cost will include the Porcelain Crown, and hardware used to hold the crown to the implant. At Smile Artistry this will include the cost of a temporary crown which is used to assist with shaping of the gums.
Indicative Price: $2,985
The indicative cost of a single Dental Implant, Abutment and the Porcelain Crown(all stages): $ 5,185
If a temporary tooth is required, this cost is in addition to above, where a temporary crown or denture may be used for the period of healing between stage one and stage two.
When multiple teeth are missing, it is best to discuss the cost directly with a Smile Artistry Treatment Co-ordinator so that you understand the numerous options available. When considering the cost and price of dental implants, it is important to understand that the long-term benefits of dental implants far outweigh the financial cost, as it is well proven that missing teeth and dentures cause reduced ability to chew and are associated with poor nutrition in the elderly.
These dental implants costs are current from July 2011 until June 2012.
