Complimentary consultation

Considering dental implants?

Dr Sam Gidaro explains how implants work and what decides the cost. Then find out where you stand, at no charge.

  • Consultation with an implant‑experienced dentist
  • OPG or CBCT imaging where clinically indicated
  • A written plan and an itemised quote
  • Payment plan and superannuation guidance

Does any of this sound familiar?

Most people who come to us about implants have been putting it off for years. These are the three situations we see most often.

If you recognise yourself in any of these, a consultation will tell you whether implants are an option for you, and what it would involve.

Why patients choose The Dental Practice

On Burwood Road for over 50 years

Not a clinic chain. The same practice, in the same place, with the team that will still be here for your reviews.

Single implants through to full arch

One tooth, several, or a complete jaw. Because we do all three, the advice follows your mouth, not the one option on offer.

The cost in writing, before you commit

An itemised quote at the consultation, with payment plan and super options explained. No number is left until later.

A team who speak your language

Between them our team speak several of the languages spoken around Burwood. Tell us who you would prefer when you call.

Paying for it in a way that works

HICAPS on site, weekly payment plans through external providers, and guidance on early release of super if eligible.

Long‑established implant brands

Predominantly Nobel Biocare, made in Sweden. Components stay available for years, which matters if anything needs servicing.

The three ways implants are used

Which one suits you depends on how many teeth are involved and the condition of the bone underneath. Your dentist will explain which applies after examining you.

Swipe to see all three

How the process runs

  1. Your consultation

    Examination, imaging where indicated, and a straight answer on whether implants suit your situation.

  2. Your plan and quote

    Written, itemised, and talked through in plain language, including payment plan and superannuation options.

  3. Placement

    Implants are placed under local anaesthetic. Where suitable, temporary teeth mean you are not left without a smile.

  4. Final teeth and reviews

    Your final teeth are made to match your face and bite, then we keep an eye on them at regular reviews.

What implants cost, honestly

No two mouths need the same work, so there is no single price. You will leave your consultation with the real number for your case, in writing.

From about $6,000

for a straightforward single implant, including the tooth on top. More complex cases cost more. Itemised quote at your consultation, before anything is booked.

Paying over time

Weekly options from around $154 through external providers, subject to their approval and terms.

Superannuation

We can guide you through applying for early release on compassionate grounds. Eligibility is decided by the ATO.

Claim on the spot

We have HICAPS, so if you have extras cover your rebate is processed here at the practice and you only pay the difference. Bring your card and we will check what your policy covers before you sit down.

We claim with all major Australian health funds. Your rebate depends on your level of cover and your individual policy.

Individual results vary from person to person. These photographs show the outcome for those particular patients and are not a prediction of your own result. Suitability for implant treatment, and the result that can be achieved, are determined by the treating dentist following a clinical examination. All treatment carries risk; your dentist will discuss the risks that apply to you before you decide anything.

A Burwood practice, not a clinic chain

The Dental Practice has been on Burwood Road for over 50 years. Implant work here is planned and carried out by our own dentists, in our own rooms, with the same team looking after you from the consultation through to your reviews.

Questions we get asked

Am I too old, or is my bone too thin?

Age on its own is rarely the deciding factor; general health and the bone available matter more. If you have been told previously that you do not have enough bone, techniques such as grafting sometimes change that. The only way to know is an examination with imaging, which is what the complimentary consultation is for.

Does having an implant placed hurt?

The placement is done under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain at the time. Most patients describe the days afterwards as comparable to having a tooth out, and manage with standard pain relief. Most are comfortable within two to three days.

Will I be without teeth while I heal?

In most cases no. Where it is clinically suitable, temporary teeth are fitted so you are not left with a gap while the implants integrate with the bone. Your dentist will tell you what applies to your case before you commit to anything.

How long does the whole thing take?

It varies with the case. A single implant is commonly three to six months from placement to the final crown, because the implant needs time to integrate with the bone. Full‑arch treatment can move faster in the early stages. You will get a timeline for your own treatment in writing.

How long do implants last?

Implants are intended as a long‑term replacement and many last a great many years. Longevity depends on your oral hygiene, keeping up regular reviews, whether you smoke, and your general health. Like natural teeth, they need looking after.

Which implants do you use?

Predominantly Nobel Biocare, manufactured in Sweden. We prefer long‑established brands because the components stay available for years, which matters if anything ever needs servicing well down the track.

What does the consultation actually commit me to?

Nothing. You leave with an examination, imaging where it is indicated, an explanation of your options and a written quote. What you do with it is up to you.
