Full-arch implant options in Annerley
For suitable patients with missing or failing teeth, implants can support a fixed upper or lower arch of replacement teeth. Start with a free 30-minute consultation including CBCT and a discussion of your options.
Around $25,000 per arch for suitable cases. Your treatment plan, inclusions and final estimate are confirmed after assessment.
Compare the options
Fixed teeth are one option for a full arch
All-on-X describes a full arch supported by a planned number of implants. Assessment determines the number and position of implants, and whether this approach is appropriate. Teeth that can be maintained should be considered in the alternatives.
Removable alternatives
Conventional or implant-retained dentures have different costs, cleaning and support requirements. Compare these before choosing a fixed restoration.
If only some teeth need replacement, explore other implant options or a coordinated restorative plan.
Your first appointment
Free 30-minute consultation with CBCT
The consultation includes a CBCT scan, oral health check and personalised planning. We review your concerns and discuss suitability, costs and the proposed next steps.
Bring details of your medicines and health conditions. Your gums, available bone, remaining teeth and ability to maintain the restoration all affect the recommendation.
A consultation does not commit you to treatment. Ask which teeth could be retained and why each option is being recommended.
Treatment stages
Know what happens between planning and final teeth
Agree on the plan
Discuss the proposed implants, any extractions or preparatory care, temporary teeth, final restoration and alternatives. Clarify the expected appointments and recovery needs.
Placement and comfort
Implants are placed according to the agreed plan. IV sedation is available in clinic for suitable patients after assessment.
Healing and temporary teeth
Healing and implant stability affect when a bridge can be fitted or used for chewing. Do not assume same-day fixed teeth are suitable for every case; ask what you will wear during your healing period.
Final restoration and reviews
Your dentist assesses healing before the planned final restoration. Follow-up checks assess the bite, gums, implants and cleaning access.
Costs and inclusions
Around $25,000 per arch for suitable cases
The final estimate follows assessment and the agreed treatment pathway. Ask for written inclusions covering temporary and final teeth, any extractions, sedation, reviews and maintenance.
Extra costs may apply if the plan changes or restorations are damaged outside the agreed terms. Review the treatment terms and care instructions before proceeding.
Read about payment options or compassionate release of superannuation. Eligibility and approval for release are assessed by the relevant authority, not the clinic.
Risks and ongoing care
A fixed bridge still needs daily care
Surgery and recovery
Possible risks include infection, nerve or sinus complications, damage to nearby structures and failure of an implant to integrate. Swelling, bruising, discomfort or bleeding can occur after surgery.
Your dentist will explain your individual risks, diet and aftercare instructions, and when to seek help. Read general risks and recovery information.
Maintenance and repairs
Clean around the implants and beneath the bridge using the methods demonstrated by your dental team. Attend reviews even when the bridge feels comfortable.
Implants and restorations can develop problems or need repairs. Report swelling, bleeding, discomfort or a loose component rather than waiting for the next routine visit.
Useful questions
Before you decide
- Why is a full-arch approach recommended instead of retaining more teeth?
- What will I wear while healing, and what can I eat?
- How will I clean underneath the bridge?
- What is included in the quote and ongoing maintenance?
