Dental Implants
in Perth — a permanent
replacement for missing teeth
Implants are titanium posts placed in the jawbone with a natural-looking crown on top. One tooth, several teeth, or a full arch — designed to last decades. Consultations at our Perth CBD and Belmont clinics.
The closest thing
to a real tooth
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone where a tooth used to be. Once it integrates with the bone, we attach a custom-made crown on top that looks and functions like a natural tooth. Implants don't rely on the teeth next to them for support, don't come out, and don't require special cleaning — just brushing and flossing like any other tooth.
For most people with a missing tooth, an implant is the longest-lasting and most natural option. We'll examine your jawbone, take x-rays, and explain exactly what's involved for your situation before any work begins.
You might be a good candidate if…
- You have a single missing tooth and want a permanent replacement
- You're missing several teeth and want to avoid a removable bridge or denture
- You have a full or partial denture that's uncomfortable or unstable
- You've had a tooth knocked out and want it replaced rather than left gapped
- You have a tooth that can't be saved and need a plan for after it's extracted
- You want a long-term, low-maintenance solution rather than something you remove at night
Not sure if implants suit you? Book a consultation — we'll examine, x-ray, and walk you through your real options including bridges, dentures, and (where appropriate) doing nothing for now.
The implant process, step by step
Consultation & planning
We examine your mouth, take x-rays, and review your medical history. We'll explain options, costs and the expected timeline before any treatment begins.
Implant placement
Under local anaesthetic, the titanium post is placed in the jawbone where the tooth used to be. The site then heals over 3-6 months as bone integrates with the implant.
The crown
Once the implant is fully integrated, we attach a custom-made crown matched to your natural teeth in colour and shape. It looks, feels and functions like a real tooth.

Dental implants, answered
How long do dental implants last?
With good oral hygiene and regular check-ups, dental implants can last decades — often a lifetime. The crown that sits on top may need replacing eventually, but the implant post itself is designed to be permanent.
How much do dental implants cost in Perth?
Cost depends on the number of implants, whether bone grafting is needed, and the final restoration (single crown, bridge or full arch). We'll examine your case, take x-rays and give you a detailed quote before any work begins.
Is the implant procedure painful?
The procedure itself is done under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn't feel pain during it. Some discomfort and swelling for a few days afterwards is normal — we'll give you a clear aftercare plan.
Am I a candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with healthy gums and enough jawbone are candidates. If your jawbone has shrunk after tooth loss, bone grafting can sometimes prepare the site. We'll assess this at your consult.
How long does the whole process take?
From consultation to final crown, expect 3-6 months for most cases. The implant needs time to integrate with the jawbone before the crown can be attached.
Are implants covered by health funds?
Many major funds cover part of implant treatment under their major-dental cover. We're a preferred provider for the main funds and can process claims on the spot.

Implants vs other tooth-replacement options
A missing tooth can be replaced with a dental implant, a bridge, or a denture. Implants are the longest-lasting and feel most like a real tooth — they don't rely on the teeth next to them for support and they don't come out. Bridges are faster and less invasive but eventually need replacing and require shaping the neighbouring teeth. Dentures are removable and the most competitively-priced but can feel less stable. We'll explain which suits your situation at your consult.
Cost and timeline for dental implants in Perth
The cost of dental implants in Perth depends on the number of teeth being replaced, whether bone grafting is needed, and the final restoration (single crown, bridge or full arch). We provide a detailed quote after examination and x-rays — no surprises. The full process typically takes 3 to 6 months from initial consultation to final crown, because the implant needs time to integrate with the jawbone.
Recovery and aftercare
The procedure itself is done under local anaesthetic; most patients experience mild discomfort and some swelling for a few days afterwards. We give you a clear aftercare plan and a follow-up appointment. Once the implant has integrated and the crown is fitted, you brush and floss it like a normal tooth.
Long-term success and care
Dental implants have a very high long-term success rate when looked after. Brush and floss as you would your other teeth, and come in for regular check-ups. With good oral hygiene, implants commonly last decades — often a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacing eventually, but the implant post itself is designed to be permanent.
Health fund coverage for implants
Many major Australian health funds cover part of dental implant treatment under their major-dental cover. The exact amount depends on your level of cover. We're a preferred provider for the main funds and can process claims on the spot, so you only pay the gap.
