Yes. Whether you are having one dental implant and crown placed, a fixed implant bridge or an implant-retained denture, you are able to choose your desired tooth material, shade and shape.

Dental implant costs can vary according to the number of teeth you're replacing, if you require tooth extractions, sedation, bridge materials and other factors.

Fixed implant bridge to replace several missing teeth prices at Perth Dental Implant Centre start from $7,800 for two dental implants, two abutments and a fixed bridge consisting of three teeth.

A full arch fixed implant bridge, also known as full mouth dental implants (All-on-4) starts from $17,250 per arch.

Fixed implant bridges are natural looking and are made using a combination of bridge materials. Perth Dental Implant Centres provides single tooth implants and fixed small implant bridges using  full contour (monolithic) zirconia.

A zirconia bridge attaches to high-grade titanium dental implants.

Fixed implant bridges (also known as All-on-4®, full arch or full mouth dental implants) replace all missing teeth are made of custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) as the first set of teeth placed after surgery.

A zirconia bridge may replace an custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) bridge from three to four months after surgery. An custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) bridge may last between 1 and 2 years before needing to be replaced, while a zirconia bridge may last between 10 to 15 years, or longer with proper care.

Our process for a fixed full mouth dental implant bridge (also known as All-on-4®) involves a free implant consultation with your dentist, 3D scan and clinical photographs of your mouth to plan implant treatment, followed by surgery where implants are placed into the bone.

If bone grafting is needed to support your new bridge, it will be done during surgery.

Within 24 hours, we attached your custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) bridge to your dental implants, which are left to heal over three to four months.

We provide you with care instructions for your new teeth and arrange review appointments at two weeks and four weeks after surgery. You may choose to upgrade to a long-term zirconia bridge after this time or keep your first bridge for a little longer.

Smaller fixed bridges that replace fewer teeth generally follow the same process as single tooth implant treatment.

Most patients with healthy and sufficient jaw bone can be suitable candidates for a fixed implant bridge. However, if you don't have enough healthy jaw bone to support dental implants, you could still be suitable for treatment. During your consultation, Dr Norcross will take a bone scan and discuss bone grafting to help build up enough bone to anchor dental implants in place. A bone graft can be done prior to or during dental implant surgery, depending on your individual needs.

How long a fixed implant bridge lasts depends on the materials they are made from, how well they are cared for and any lifestyle habits (such as grinding or smoking) they may break or stain them.

Custom-milled PMMA (acrylic) bridges are placed 24 hours after All-on-4 or full mouth dental implant surgery, and typically need replacing after 1 to 2 years on average.

Clients can choose to upgrade to a longer-lasting zirconia bridge around three to four months after surgery. Zirconia is highly aesthetic, durable and stain-resistant in nature and is designed to last long-term Zirconia bridges may need replacing after 10 to 15 years, however both bridge material options have been known to last longer.

The price of full mouth dental implants starts from $17,250 per arch.

A dental implant can last 20 years or longer, and in many cases a lifetime, when placed by an experienced clinician and properly maintained. The implant itself (titanium post) is designed to be long-term, while the attached crown or bridge may need replacement over time.

How long do dental implant crowns last?

• Ceramic crown or bridge: typically lasts 5–15 years
• Lifespan depends on the material used, bite forces, and how well you care for your teeth

What affects how long dental implants last?

Dental implants are both biological and mechanical, meaning their longevity can vary based on:

• Oral hygiene: Daily cleaning and regular professional maintenance
• Bone health: Changes in jawbone density over time
• Bite forces: Grinding or clenching can increase wear
• Smoking and health factors: Can impact healing and long-term success
• Clinician experience: Careful planning and precise placement are critical

What is the success rate of dental implants?

Dental implants have been extensively studied and show a high long-term success rate of around 95% to 98% over many years in healthy, non-smoking patients.

Do dental implants need to be replaced?

• Implant (titanium post): Designed to last decades or longer
• Crown or bridge: May need replacement after 5–15 years due to normal wear

Some patients may require earlier replacement depending on individual factors.

How can you make dental implants last longer?

• Maintain good oral hygiene at home
• Attend regular check-ups and professional cleans
• Follow your dentist’s aftercare advice
• Address issues like grinding early

Quick summary

• Dental implants can last 20+ years or longer
• Success rates are high (95%–98%)
• Crowns and bridges typically last 5–15 years
• Long-term success depends on care, health, and maintenance

Success rates for dental implant treatment in Australia is very high at 90-98%, according to the Australian Dental Association (ADA). Dental implant treatment completed overseas doesn’t always follow the same success and we often treat patients with failed implants. Read more about dental implants overseas. Dental implant treatment risks may include:

• Speech problems
• Gum tissue growth
• Infection
• Bone loss
• Loose implant
• Loose tooth
• Tooth problems

General surgical risks and specific risks to implant surgery also apply and are discussed with you prior to treatment. Careful planning and precision surgery by a suitably qualified dentist is essential to minimising any risks of surgery.

A fixed implant bridge is a row of prosthetic teeth (known as a bridge) supported and stabilised by dental implants placed in the jaw bone. Dental implants behave like tooth roots helping to preserve jaw bone and facial structure and supporting surrounding natural teeth. A fixed implant bridge is permanently attached to your implants can only be removed by your dentist.
