Missing a tooth changes more than your smile. It changes how you eat, how you talk, and how you feel about yourself. There is a permanent fix.
Missing teeth affect your confidence. You hold back in conversations and photos because of a gap you can’t ignore.
You can’t bite into an apple or enjoy a steak the way you used to. Missing teeth change what you eat every day.
The unknown is keeping you stuck. You want to know what’s involved and what it will actually cost before committing.
A small titanium post placed into your jawbone. Think of it as a new tooth root. Over a few months it fuses with your bone. Then a custom crown goes on top.
Looks, feels, and works like a real tooth. Titanium is the same material used in hip and knee replacements — your body accepts it naturally.
The process
We examine your mouth, take 3D scans, and give you a clear treatment plan with costs.
We map exactly where to place the implant for the strongest hold.
The titanium post goes into your jawbone under local anaesthetic. Most patients say it’s easier than expected.
Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with your bone. You may wear a temporary tooth.
A custom crown is made to match your teeth and attached to the implant. Done.
Maximise your rebate on consultations, scans, and crowns. We process claims on the spot with HICAPS.

The cost of dental implants varies depending on your situation. Factors include how many teeth need replacing, whether you need bone grafting, and the type of crown used. We give you a clear treatment plan with all costs listed before any work begins. As a Platinum health fund provider, we also maximise your rebate on consultations and related treatments. Call us on (03) 9725 8040 or book a consultation to get a personalised cost breakdown.
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during the procedure. Most patients say it is more comfortable than they expected. Some soreness and swelling is normal for a few days afterwards and can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief as advised by your dentist.
With good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups, the titanium implant post can last for many years. The crown on top may need replacing after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear, similar to other dental restorations. Your dentist will monitor your implant at your regular visits.
Many health funds offer rebates on parts of the implant process, such as the consultation, X-rays, CT scans, and the crown. Coverage depends on your level of extras cover. As a Platinum provider, Divine Dental Care helps you get the highest available rebate. We process claims on the spot with HICAPS so you only pay the gap.
Most implant treatments involve three to five visits over a period of three to six months. The first visit is a consultation and planning appointment. The second is the implant placement. Then there is a healing period of several months before the final crown is fitted. If bone grafting is needed, an extra visit may be required. Your dentist will outline the full timeline at your first appointment.
