Dental Implants East Brisbane: Types, Costs, Procedure & Recovery

Missing teeth can affect confidence, bite and oral health. Dental implants replace the root with a biocompatible post and top it with a natural-looking crown — fixed in place so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence.

Types of Dental Implants

Single Tooth Implants

Replace one missing tooth with a titanium post and an individual ceramic crown.

Implant-Supported Bridges

Two or more implants support a row of crowns to replace multiple teeth without relying on adjacent teeth.

Full-Arch (e.g., All-on-4/6)

Four to six implants can support a complete arch when many or all teeth are missing.

Implant Materials

  • Titanium: the most common, strong and highly biocompatible (supports osseointegration).
  • Zirconia: metal-free ceramic with excellent aesthetics — an option for specific cases.

Dental Implant Procedure: Step by Step

  1. Consultation & Planning: comprehensive exam, digital 3D scans/X-rays and a personalised plan.
  2. Surgical Phase: implant placed under local anaesthesia; grafting discussed if required.
  3. Healing (Osseointegration): bone fuses to the implant over ~3–6 months; temp tooth may be used.
  4. Abutment & Crown: connector attached; custom crown/bridge/denture fitted for the final smile.

Typical total timeline: ~3–8 months depending on case complexity and healing.

Costs & Payment Options (East Brisbane)

Fees vary with the number of implants, restoration type and any preparatory procedures (e.g., grafts). You’ll receive a written, itemised plan.

  • Single implant: typically A$4,000–A$7,000 per tooth
  • Full-arch (e.g., All-on-4): from ~A$20,000–A$30,000 per arch

We accept major health funds and offer instalment options.

Cost Factors

  • Number of implants required
  • Material (titanium vs zirconia)
  • Restoration (crown, bridge, full arch)
  • Grafting/sinus lift needs
  • Anaesthesia or sedation requirements

Aftercare & Recovery

  • First 48–72 hrs: expect minor swelling; use cold compress; take prescribed meds; avoid smoking/strenuous activity.
  • Diet: soft foods initially; avoid chewing on the implant site.
  • Hygiene: brush gently around the area; salt-water or antimicrobial rinses as directed.
  • Reviews: attend follow-ups to monitor healing and remove sutures if required.
  • Long-term: floss daily and maintain routine cleans; use a nightguard if you grind.

Benefits vs. Bridges & Dentures

  • Natural appearance — custom shades and shapes

Frequently Asked Questions

Does getting a dental implant hurt?

Implants are placed under local anaesthesia. Mild soreness for a few days is common and usually managed with pain relief and ice packs.

How long do implants last?

With good hygiene and regular check-ups, implants can last many years. Crowns may need replacement after 10–15 years due to normal wear.

Can anyone get dental implants?

Most healthy adults are candidates. Adequate bone and gum health are important. Smokers or complex medical histories may need extra planning.

What if I need multiple implants?

Options include implant-supported bridges or full-arch solutions (e.g., All-on-4/6). We’ll recommend the most efficient plan for your situation.

Will my health fund cover it?

Coverage varies. Many funds contribute to the crown component; surgical items may be partially covered under major dental. We’ll provide an itemised quote to check benefits.
