Payment Policy

Payment for full mouth dental implants is divided into three instalments:

1. Booking Deposit - A $5,000 deposit to secure your surgery booking. This allows us to begin ordering implant components and planning out your implant placement and provisional tooth design.
2. Surgery Instalment - This instalment covers your first-stage surgical treatment including extractions, implants, abutments and provisional bridge, and is due 3 weeks prior to your surgery date.
3. Definitive Zirconia Bridge Instalment - This instalment covers the manufacture and fitting of your long-term zirconia bridge. Payment must be received before manufacture of the final bridge can begin.

Cancellation Policy

If you need to cancel your surgery, payment is refunded or transferred to a future date. If you cancel within 2 weeks of the surgery date, a $500 admin fee applies to cover planning to date. At treatment/lab costs incurred may also be payable.

Speak with your treatment coordinator for questions about payment and finance options call us on 1300 108 133.

You can apply for early access to your super fund or that of a family member if:

• you are a citizen or permanent resident of Australia or New Zealand
• you meet the criteria for compassionate release of superannuation
• you don’t have any other means of covering the cost, such as savings or ineligibility for a personal loan

Early release of superannuation can help some patients access necessary dental treatment, but it is important to carefully consider all available funding options first. In some cases, a dental loan or payment plan may be a more cost-effective alternative.

We encourage you to speak with a financial advisor who can help you compare the short- and long-term implications of each option, including the impact that accessing your superannuation may have on your future retirement savings.

When it comes to performing dental implant surgery, there are currently no mandated requirements governing the amount of training a general dentist must complete before placing dental implants. In some cases, a dentist may undertake a short 1–2 day course and begin placing implants with limited experience. However, research indicates that clinical experience plays a significant role in treatment outcomes.

Dr David Norcross and Dr David O'Dowling have each undertaken extensive postgraduate education in implant dentistry, completing advanced programs and clinical residencies over many years.

Dr David Norcross graduated from Leeds University with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery. He went on to complete a one-year Master Clinician Program in Implant Dentistry through the Global Institute for Dental Education (gIDE) in collaboration with the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He has also completed clinical residencies at the Malo Clinic in Melbourne and Portugal — the birthplace of the All-on-4® technique — gaining advanced training in full-arch rehabilitation.

Dr David O'Dowling graduated from University College Cork in Ireland and completed a Master of Science in Oral Implantology at Goethe Dental School in Germany. He also holds Diplomate status with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry, a qualification that permits specialist implant registration in the United States.

Early access to superannuation on compassionate grounds is subject to strict eligibility criteria and approval by the ATO. During your consultation, we can discuss whether treatment may meet relevant requirements. To proceed with funding, you can apply directly to the ATO or we can connect you with a third-party provider such as Super Health Ensemble.

We encourage our clients to speak with their financial advisor before committing to third-party funding. Learn more about Accessing Your Super for All-on-4 Dental Implants.

The cost of sedation dentistry services in Perth can vary depending on the amount of dental care required, the length of sedation, the anaesthetist fee and also the type of sedation used.

Sedation is typically billed in 30-minute blocks including pre-sedation, surgery and post-procedure time. Sedation costs start from $1,400 for 60 minutes and subject to Medicare rebates*.

Depending on your private health insurance hospital cover and the anaesthetist scheduled for your treatment, you could end up paying minimal excess for hospital and anaesthetist costs.

For patients without hospital cover, IV sedation at the practice is also an affordable option. For more information on sleep dentistry pricing at our Perth clinic, contact us today on 1300 108 133.

All-on-4® costs vary because of several factors including the skill, training and experience of the dentist placing your implants; and person designing your new teeth; the quality of teeth and dental implants; and treatment plan inclusions.

1. Skill, training and experience of the dentist

General dentists Dr David Norcross and Dr David O'Dowling have restricted their practice to restoring smiles with dental implants and have completed extensive advanced training in implant and restorative dentistry. Both dentists also lead clinical education courses in advanced implant dentistry, helping dentists further develop their skills and expertise in implant treatment.

2. Skill, training and experience of the dental technician

All of our full mouth implant bridges are custom-designed by highly experienced dental technicians. Perth Dental Implant Centre uses a local lab and onsite lab to design full mouth bridges that are high in quality, durability and aesthetics that complement your face, age and personality.

3. The type and quality of replacement teeth

Our dental implant packages offer a number of teeth replacement options and materials to suit your aesthetic and financial needs. Replacement teeth materials have different strengths, durability, aesthetic features and longevity.

4. Type and quality of dental implants

Perth Dental Implant Centre can place any implant system you choose. However, for full arch replacement we offer pricing packages using two high quality implant systems: Nobel BioCare and Southern Implants.

5. Treatment plan inclusions

All treatment plans include clinical radiographs and review appointments at two and four weeks after treatment. If you choose to upgrade your teeth after 3 to 4 months of your mouth healing post-surgery, we’ll include this item in your treatment plan.

The amount and quality of jaw bone into which we can place a dental implant differs depending on the location within the mouth.

For example, jaw bone at the front of the mouth is typically much thinner, which adds complexity to treatment in order to achieve a successful result.

Aesthetics is particularly important when it comes to replacing teeth in the front of the mouth, because they’re more visible when you smile, this also factors into treatment complexity and cost.

Teeth at the back of the mouth are hidden and are typically supported by more bone, which can make treatment easier. Following a 3D bone scan we can fully assess your circumstances and determine the most suitable treatment plan for your needs.

Dental implant treatment can take 3-9 months to complete and involve a number of appointments and x-rays of the implant and jawbone at different stages. We do not charge extra for follow-up appointments and clinical radiographs required in the healing period after your surgery.

Your new teeth are designed by a team that includes your dentist and an experienced dental technician. Together, they work to create teeth that are tailored to your facial features, smile, bite and functional requirements.

Depending on the type of treatment you are receiving, we may work with different laboratories that specialise in specific restorations:

• Senesi Laboratory is used for crowns, dental bridges, single dental implants and other small implant-supported restorations.
• Our in-house laboratory is used to design and manufacture full-arch custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) and zirconia bridges for All-on-4 and full-mouth dental implant treatments. This allows us to maintain full control over the quality, fit and aesthetics of your first and long-term bridges.

The design and fabrication of dental restorations is a highly skilled process that combines digital technology, technical expertise and artistic craftsmanship. The experience of the technician designing your teeth can influence factors such as aesthetics, fit, comfort and customisation.

At Perth Dental Implant Centre, we work closely with our laboratory teams throughout the design process to ensure your new teeth are customised to your individual needs and treatment goals.

We use a new and minimally invasive technique to place dental implants , using computer guided 3D printed surgical guides. This allows us to place dental implants using a form of keyhole surgery, making the process much quicker, safer and less invasive. Watch our video on keyhole surgery to see how it works.

Dental implant costs usually start from $4,500 for a single tooth implant. This includes:

• Surgical placement of a titanium implant
• Titanium abutment
• CAD-CAM milled monolithic zirconia crown
• Clinical radiographs (excluding 3D CBCT scan)
• Review appointments

Total treatment costs vary depending on your individual treatment needs, and will factor in:

• How many implants you’re having placed
• Bone or gum grafting
• Dental implant system used
• Replacement tooth materials
• Experience of the dental technician manufacturing your tooth
• Sedation and/or hospital fees
• Any pre-treatment needs (gum treatments)
• Any aftercare and maintenance needs (night splint or jaw muscle therapy for teeth grinding)

At Perth Dental Implant Centre, we customise a dental implant treatment plan to perfectly suit your dental and financial needs for long-term success.

During your initial consultation, we assess your suitability for surgery and long-term maintenance, payment options, payment plan solutions and check applicable private health fund rebates using our HICAPS machine. Book your free consultation today.
