DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are one of the most reliable ways to replace missing teeth. They look, feel, and function like
natural teeth, restoring confidence and long-term oral health. At our Melbourne clinic, Dr Helen and her team
provide a full range of implant treatments – from single tooth replacement to advanced full-mouth solutions.
Our Dental Implant Treatments
Every patient’s needs are different, which is why we provide a full range of treatment options
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Unlike removable dentures or bridges, implants integrate directly with your jawbone. This provides a strong foundation for chewing, speaking, and smiling with confidence. With proper care, implants can last for decades, making them a stable and predictable treatment option.
The benefits of dental implants include:
- Natural look and feel
- Strong and stable bite function
- Long-term durability
- Support for jawbone health by preventing bone loss
- Improved confidence and quality of life
Are You a Candidate for Implants?
The benefits of dental implants include:
- Jawbone density and health
- Presence of gum disease
- Medical history and healing capacity
- Lifestyle habits such as smoking
- Advanced imaging and consultation will confirm the best treatment plan for your situation.

How successful are dental implants?
Implants have a very high chance of success in a healthy patient who looks after their general and dental health. However, there are factors that can compromise the successful placement of an implant. These include medical conditions, excessive smoking or alcohol consumption, and poor diet or oral hygiene.
How long do dental implants last?
With good care, there is a very high chance that an implant will last a long time, if not a lifetime.
Does age affect suitability for dental implants?
Health is the main determining factor, not age. Implants are often needed later in life after teeth have been lost.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
This depends on your individual circumstances and the extent of treatment required. There are usually multiple stages and follow up visits over a period of several months.
What is the success rate of All-on-4®dental implants?
All-on-4® implants are often said to have a success rate of 90-95% over ten years. However, success can be defined in different ways. It may refer to how well the implants integrate with the bone, whether they remain in place over time, or how well the teeth function and look.
In practice, success depends on many factors, including treatment planning, surgical skill, the health of the patient, oral hygiene, and ongoing maintenance. While implants are generally reliable, they are not successful in every case.
Natural teeth still have the highest success rate. Implants are an effective solution when teeth cannot be saved, but they are not a perfect replacement.
What is the cost of full mouth dental implants in Australia?
Full mouth dental implants cost between $25,000 – $35,000 in Australia.
Lower cost options may involve compromises in materials, planning, or aftercare, which can lead to more complex problems in the future.
Is there a warranty on All-on-4®dental implants?
All-on-4® implants are not guaranteed in the same way as a product. No medical procedure can be guaranteed.
We can guarantee careful planning, precise treatment, and support throughout the process. However, long term success depends on the patient’s health, maintenance, and regular reviews.
A limited warranty applies on componentry, if care instructions are followed and review appointments are attended. Overall success depends on treatment planning, clinical skill, patient care, and an element of chance.
