How Much Do Dental Implants Cost in Maitland?
A single dental implant at our Lorn practice starts from $5,500. Here is what makes up the price, the options for replacing more than one tooth, and the ways you can pay.
A single dental implant in Maitland starts from $5,500 at our Lorn practice. What you pay depends on how many teeth you are replacing, whether the tooth needs removing first, and whether the jaw needs building up before the implant goes in. This 2026 guide breaks down what makes up the cost, the options for replacing more than one tooth, and the ways you can pay. The figure here is a starting guide. Your dentist gives you a written quote after an exam and a scan.
Key takeaways
- A single dental implant in Maitland starts from $5,500 at our Lorn practice.
- Replacing several teeth with an implant bridge or an implant-supported denture usually costs less per tooth than one implant for every gap.
- Extra steps add to the cost. Removing a tooth first, or building up the jaw with a bone graft, is quoted upfront, never as a surprise.
- Health funds with major dental cover pay a rebate on implants, and we claim it on the spot with HICAPS so you pay only the gap.
- The figure here is a starting point. The number that matters is the written quote you get after an exam and a scan.
How much does a dental implant cost in Maitland?
A single dental implant starts from $5,500. An implant replaces one missing tooth in three parts: a small titanium post that sits in the jaw like a root, an abutment that connects to it, and a crown on top that looks and works like a natural tooth. That price covers all three, including the crown, not just the post in the jaw.
The exact price depends on your jaw, the tooth being replaced, and any work the site needs first. We confirm it after a consultation and a 3D scan, which maps your jaw so the implant is placed accurately. You can read more about the treatment on our dental implants page.

Single implant, bridge or denture: the options compared
If you are missing more than one tooth, you do not always need one implant per gap. A few implants can hold a bridge or a full denture, which brings the cost per tooth down. Here is how the options line up.
| Single implant | Implant bridge | Implant denture | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Replaces | One missing tooth | Several teeth in a row | A full arch of teeth |
| Implants used | 1 | 2 to 3 | 4 or more |
| From | $5,500 | From $12,500 | From $18,000 |
| Fixed or removable | Fixed | Fixed | Fixed or removable |
| Best for | One gap | A few missing teeth together | Most or all teeth missing |
The more teeth you replace on the same set of implants, the lower the cost works out per tooth.
Replacing several missing teeth
Replacing a whole row of teeth does not mean paying for a separate implant for each one. Four or more implants can support a fixed bridge that restores an entire arch, so the cost per tooth is far lower than doing them one at a time.
Because the price turns on how many implants you need and the restoration on top, the cost varies by option. A removable denture held by a few implants starts from $18,000. A fixed full arch on four or more implants, where the new teeth stay in permanently, starts from $28,000. An implant bridge for a few teeth in a row starts from $12,500, depending on how many implants and teeth are involved. Bring a rough idea of which teeth you want to replace and we will map out the options and the cost for each.
Before and after: replacing missing teeth
Replacing missing and damaged teeth can rebuild a full, natural-looking smile. This is a real before-and-after from our Maitland practice. Every case is planned around your own teeth and goals, and individual results vary.

What changes the price of a dental implant?
Two people can get different quotes for the same missing tooth. The main things that move the price are:
- How many teeth you are replacing. One implant, or a few implants holding a bridge or denture.
- Whether the tooth needs removing first. If a broken tooth is still in place, taking it out is a separate step we quote upfront.
- Whether the jaw needs building up. If there is not enough bone to hold the implant, a bone graft or a sinus lift prepares the site first.
- The crown on top. The material and shade of the final tooth.
- Planning and scans. A 3D scan maps your jaw so the implant goes in the right place.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. You get a written quote before any treatment starts, and it lists every step. Where a case needs extra work, we name it and price it upfront rather than adding it later:
- Removing a tooth before the implant goes in, from $500, if a damaged tooth is still there.
- A bone graft, from $850, or a sinus lift, from $2,500, if the jaw needs more bone to hold the implant.
- A temporary tooth to wear while the implant heals, so you are not left with a gap.

Ways to pay for dental implants in Maitland
Implant treatment happens in stages over several months, which gives you a few ways to manage the cost:
- Private health funds. Major dental cover pays a rebate on implants. We give you the item numbers so you can check the amount with your fund.
- HICAPS on the spot. Claim your rebate at the desk and pay only the gap.
- Two years of cover. Because treatment runs over several months, timing the steps across two calendar years can let you use two years of your health fund limit.
- Afterpay and Zip. Spread the cost over instalments instead of paying it all at once.

Are dental implants worth it?
An implant costs more upfront than a bridge or a denture. It is also the only option that replaces the root of the tooth, which keeps the jawbone working and does not rely on grinding down the teeth on either side. With good daily care and regular checkups, an implant can last many years.
The clearest way to compare your options is a consultation. Your dentist looks at your jaw, talks through what you want to replace, and gives you a written plan with the cost for each choice.

How much is a single dental implant in Maitland?
A single dental implant at our Lorn practice starts from $5,500. The final price depends on your jaw and whether the tooth needs removing first, so we confirm it after a consultation and scan.
Do health funds or Medicare cover dental implants?
Medicare does not generally cover implants for adults. Most private health funds with major dental cover pay a rebate, and the amount depends on your level of cover. We claim your rebate on the spot with HICAPS.
Why do implants cost more than a bridge or denture?
An implant is a small surgical procedure plus a custom-made crown, using a titanium post and 3D planning. You are paying for a tooth replacement built to last many years, not a short-term fix.
How long do dental implants last?
With good daily care and regular checkups, dental implants can last many years. How long depends on your oral health, the bone around the implant, and how well it is looked after.
Can I pay for dental implants in instalments?
Yes. You can use Afterpay or Zip to spread the cost, claim on the spot with HICAPS, and stage the treatment over several months. See our payment and finance options.
Is it cheaper to replace several teeth at once?
Often, yes. A few implants can support a bridge or a full denture, which usually costs less per tooth than placing a separate implant for every gap.
