Dental implants are one of several tooth replacement options that may be assessed depending on your clinical circumstances. At Sunbury Dental Group, we discuss all relevant options with patients so you can make an informed decision:

Implant treatment is not appropriate for everyone. Your dentist will assess a range of clinical and health factors before discussing implants as a suitable option, including:

• Adequate bone volume and density — sufficient jawbone is required to support implant placement; bone grafting may be discussed where bone loss has occurred, and where appropriate
• Gum health — active gum disease is generally required to be treated and stabilised prior to implant placement
• General medical health — certain medical conditions and medications may affect healing and implant integration; your full medical history will be reviewed
• Smoking — smoking is a clinically recognised risk factor associated with higher rates of implant complications; your dentist will discuss this with you
• Age and development — implants are generally not placed until jaw growth is complete; your dentist will advise on appropriate timing

A referral to a specialist oral surgeon or periodontist may be recommended depending on the complexity of your case.

Dental implant treatment is one of the more significant investments in restorative dentistry, and costs vary depending on a number of factors. At Sunbury Dental Group, we provide transparent, itemised fee estimates before any treatment begins.

Factors that influence the overall cost of implant treatment include:

• The number of implants and restorations required
• Whether preparatory procedures such as bone grafting or tooth extraction are needed
• The type of final restoration (single crown, bridge, or implant-retained denture)
• Laboratory and materials costs for the custom restoration
• The number of appointments required across the treatment timeline
