• Implant retained dentures: (used to help stabilise loose dentures) starting from (per jaw) $17,500.

Consultations

To begin calculating how much full mouth dental implants will cost, you have to start with the initial consultation. Many dental clinics will cover the cost for your first consultation, while others charge a fee, usually ranging up to $300.

Radiant Smiles Dental Care in Perth offers no-obligation free consultations for implants to replace a full set of teeth. We’ll examine your mouth and teeth, take X-rays, and 3D images if necessary. We’ll also discuss everything to expect from a full mouth dental implant surgery and the various implant options we offer before developing your personalised treatment plan.

Full mouth dental implant costs will also include pre- and post-surgery care, such as follow-up consultations, adjustments, and other maintenance.

Surgical Costs

The surgical costs of a full mouth dental implant procedure make up a major part of your overall expenses. This also depends on how many implants you decide to get. Most patients are candidates for All-on-4 and All-on-6 implants (to replace an entire arch), but some patients choose to have each individual tooth replaced with their full mouth dental implant treatment.

Restorative Costs

Once the surgeon installs implants into your jawbone, they will still need to attach crowns or dentures. These costs can vary, depending on the material of the crown or denture and whether you need a full arch of teeth or not.

Multiple factors affect the final cost of full mouth dental implants, including the number of implants needed, material used, technology implemented, dentist expertise, and geographical location.

Number and Position of Dental Implants

The first thing to note that will affect the price of teeth replacements is the number of implants required. For example, implant-supported dentures tend to be cheaper than individual crowns if multiple teeth need to be replaced.

Another factor that can affect the final cost is whether you need to replace your upper or lower teeth. Additional treatments can also influence the cost of full mouth implants, such as bone grafting and sinus lifts.

Type of Implant Material

The type of material used for implants in the upper jaw and lower jaw can play a significant role in the cost. Titanium dental implants are the most common material. However, if you choose zirconia implants, you can expect a much higher bill, often at least $2,000 to $5,000 more than titanium for full mouth implants.

Technology Used

Full-mouth dental implants require surgeries that may include advanced dental technologies, which can lead to higher costs. For example, 3D imaging, CBCT scans, and guided surgery. However, for your full mouth dental implants treatment, these technologies can enhance the precision and outcome of your surgery.

Geographic Variations

Getting dental implants to replace missing teeth can have different financial implications, depending on where in Australia you are. Costs for full mouth dental implants tend to be higher in urban areas due to the higher cost of living.

Dental clinics offer a range of financing options, including flexible payment plans. Even though getting dental implants is a transformative experience, you may be worried about the financial stress of this investment. There are many ways to cut your costs:

Payment Plans

If you cannot afford the upfront cost of implants, you can always sign up for a payment plan! At Radiant Smiles Dental Care, we offer SuperCare, Fund My Dental, and Total Lifestyle Credit options to help you spread your payments out efficiently.

Dental Insurance

While many insurance companies in Perth don’t cover dental implants, in some extreme cases, a private insurance company can cover the cost if it’s a medical necessity. This is particularly the case in terms of reconstructive surgery, rather than cosmetic surgery. For example, HBF’s Top 70 Extras Plan which also offers a high annual limit for claiming back.

Government Assistance

If you are eligible, you may be able to receive financial aid for your dental implants. For example, Veterans may be eligible for free implants if the dental issues are related to their service. Some Veterans can receive this financial aid from the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA).

Additionally, low-income individuals and pensioners may be able to receive financial assistance for dental implants. Check the Australian Government’s Department of Health and Aged Care to find out if you’re eligible.

After your procedure, the biggest risk is implant failure. So, it’s important to watch out for any symptoms of implant failure, such as implant movement, pain during chewing, redness, bleeding, swelling, or pus. Additionally, potential risks also include infection and insufficient osseointegration, both of which are likely to result in implant failure.

Notably, dental implants in Australia have a success rate of approximately 90–98%, so complications and implant failure are rare.

Why is Choosing a Qualified Dentist Important?

A qualified dental surgeon can be the difference between successful, lifelong implants and failed surgeries. The majority of successful implant surgeries are a result of experienced dental surgeons. That’s why it’s important to choose your dentist incredibly carefully! This will minimise risks and ensure a successful procedure.

Additionally, it’s essential to regularly schedule check-ups with your dentist after your implant procedure, usually every 3 to 6 months. There may be a problem with your implants that you are unaware of, and it’s best to have these adjustments made immediately rather than contributing to the wear and tear of your implants over time. To make things easier, look after your dental health!
