How much will my dental implants cost?
Most people compare implant prices after a consultation, not before it. That is the hard way to do it. This page sets out our three full-arch packages and what each one includes, so you can compare before you book. Our Specialist Prosthodontist and Clinical Director oversee treatment planning, and your fee comes in writing before you commit to anything.

Comparing full-arch dental implants
A full arch is a fixed bridge on four or six implants, upper or lower, that replaces a full row of missing teeth. We offer three packages, from $20,000 an arch, and every package lists every inclusion so you can compare them line by line. All three include the same clinical elements: the consultation and scans, the surgery, the extractions and the final restoration. They differ in the material of the restoration, the number of implants, how far the teeth and gum are individualised to you, and the warranty. Prices are per arch and are from-figures. Your personalised treatment plan explains your options.

Acrylic or ceramic: understanding the difference
One of the most common decisions when planning full-arch dental implant treatment is choosing between an acrylic or ceramic final restoration. While both options are fixed to dental implants, they differ in their materials, manufacturing process, aesthetics, durability and cost.
Acrylic restoration
Acrylic restorations are typically made from a dental-grade acrylic resin (PMMA) and secured to a titanium framework. They are generally more cost-effective to manufacture and can often be repaired more easily if damage occurs. Acrylic restorations provide a fixed solution for eating, speaking and smiling, and may be suitable for patients seeking a lower-cost full-arch treatment option.
Ceramic restoration
Ceramic restorations are manufactured using advanced dental ceramics and involve a more complex laboratory process. Depending on the treatment option selected, the restoration may be milled from ceramic materials and hand-finished by experienced dental technicians. Ceramic restorations are often chosen by patients seeking enhanced aesthetics and increased wear resistance.
Why is there a difference in cost?
The difference in cost primarily reflects the materials used and the laboratory expertise required to design and manufacture the final restoration. The dental implants supporting the restoration may be the same; however, the process and materials used to create the final teeth can vary considerably.
Which option is right for you?
There is no single best solution for every patient. The most appropriate restoration will depend on factors such as your oral health, aesthetic goals, functional requirements, lifestyle and budget. Following a comprehensive assessment, your clinician can explain the advantages and considerations of each option and help you make an informed decision.

What can change your fee
Your final cost depends on five factors we’ll assess during your consultation and explain in your personalised treatment plan. Additional tests may be needed to confirm the plan and price.
- How many implants. A standard arch is built on four. Where the bone or the bite needs six, the treatment plan says so and prices it, which is why Signature Ceramic sits on six as standard.
- How much bone there is. We include routine bone grafting and socket preservation where they are needed. Sinus grafting is planned and quoted separately. For some patients zygomatic implants, which are longer implants anchored in the cheekbone, may be considered as an alternative to extensive grafting.
- The final restoration you choose. Acrylic on a titanium framework, single-piece ceramic, or hand-layered ceramic on six implants: that choice is the main difference between the three packages.
- Sedation. Oral sedation is $200. IV sedation, general anaesthetic and hospital-based treatment are quoted on application. None is hidden in the package price. See our sedation options.
- Upper, lower, or both. Every package is priced per arch, so two arches are two packages.
How your treatment plan sets out your fee
Two quotes rarely include the same things, so a from-price on its own will not tell you which one costs more. We put your whole fee in writing in your treatment plan, before you book anything.
We plan the final restoration first, the teeth you will end up with, then work back to the implants that will hold it. Your plan itemises the fee and what it includes. It also names what could change it: the number of implants, any sinus grafting, sedation, and any further diagnostics your clinician asks for.
- A 3D (CBCT) scan at your free consultation, so the bone is measured before anything is planned
- An itemised fee in your treatment plan before you book, with the inclusions listed
- Your final restoration made in the building by the on-site laboratory, so fit and shade are adjusted with you in the chair
- A warranty on both the implants and the prosthesis, with its conditions set out in writing
Comparing quotes
What to compare when you are reviewing quotes
Treatment costs vary between providers, and the number alone will not tell you what is included. If you are holding more than one quote, check that each one states the same things. A full-arch quote should tell you:
- The consultation and imaging. Whether the first consultation, the OPG and the 3D CBCT scan are included or charged.
- Extractions and surgical guides. Whether every extraction for the arch and the guides used in surgery are in the fee.
- Immediate implant placement. Whether implants placed on the day of extraction cost more.
- Routine bone grafting and socket preservation. Whether routine grafting is included where it is needed, and what counts as routine.
- Temporary teeth. Whether temporary teeth are fitted, how many sets through treatment, and at what cost.
- The final restoration. The material (acrylic, monolithic ceramic or hand-layered ceramic), how many implants support it, and where it is made.
- Post-operative reviews. Whether reviews during treatment are included.
- Sedation and anaesthetic. What oral sedation, IV sedation, general anaesthetic or hospital treatment would add.
- The warranty. What it covers, on the implants and on the restoration, for how long, and on what conditions.
- What is quoted separately. Anything the from-price does not cover, in writing, before you decide.
Every Aria treatment plan sets these out, so you can hold it against any other quote line by line.
How it Works
What full-arch treatment usually involves
1
A conversation, then your scans
Your free consultation starts with a conversation with our team about what you want from treatment: how your teeth look, how you eat and speak, and how you want to feel about them. Then the team takes a panoramic x-ray (OPG) and a 3D scan (CBCT) of your jaw. At our Perth CBD clinic that first conversation takes place in a consultation room rather than the dental chair.
2
Your treatment plan, with the fee
Your clinician plans the final restoration and the implants that will support it, overseen by Specialist Prosthodontist Dr Michael Zaninovich and Clinical Director Dr Thuc-An Le Tat. You receive the treatment plan in writing: the package, the inclusions, the fee and anything that could change it. You decide in your own time.
3
Surgery day
Your surgeon carries out the extractions and places the implants, with sedation if you have chosen it. Your treatment plan tells you beforehand whether temporary teeth are fitted on the day.
4
Your final restoration, made in the building
The on-site laboratory makes your final restoration, so shade and fit are adjusted with you in the chair. The prosthesis warranty starts when the final restoration is fitted; the implant warranty runs from placement.

Paying for treatment
How patients pay for dental implants
Payment plans
Buy-now-pay-later providers (Afterpay, Zip and Humm) cover amounts up to about $30,000, and Australian medical lenders cover $5,000 to $80,000 over one to seven years. Some plans carry account fees or interest, so read the terms. Repayment examples for each package are available at your consultation. The options are set out on Payment plans and health funds.
Superannuation
In some circumstances the Australian Taxation Office allows early release of super on compassionate grounds for dental treatment. The ATO sets the conditions and makes the decision; we do not give financial advice and cannot guarantee approval. If you are considering it, our two guides describe the process, Early release superannuation for major dental and Navigating compassionate grounds super, and independent financial advice is worth taking first.
Health funds
Rebates depend on your level of cover. The item numbers on your treatment plan let your fund tell you the exact rebate before you decide, not after.
Medicare
Medicare does not fund dental implants for adults. Its dental funding is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule for eligible children (Department of Health). We have written about why Medicare does not cover dental in Australia.
Questions patients ask before they book
How much do dental implants cost in Perth?
At Aria Dental a fixed full arch costs from $20,000 per arch on four implants in acrylic (Essential Acrylic), from $25,000 in ceramic (Standard Ceramic), and from $35,000 for the Signature Ceramic arch on six implants.
Every figure is a from-price for one arch. After your assessment, your treatment options and costs are detailed in your tailored plan, before anything is booked. Single tooth implants and multiple teeth replacement are priced on their own pages.
What is the difference between acrylic and ceramic teeth on a full arch?
Acrylic restorations are made from a dental-grade acrylic resin on a titanium framework: they are generally more cost-effective to make and can often be repaired more easily.
Ceramic restorations involve a more complex laboratory process and are often chosen for their appearance and wear resistance. The implants supporting them may be the same; the difference in cost reflects the materials and the laboratory work. Following an assessment, your clinician can explain which option suits your situation.
Are dental implants covered by Medicare?
No.
Medicare does not fund dental implant treatment for adults. Its dental funding is the Child Dental Benefits Schedule for eligible children (the Department of Health’s dental health page). Implants are paid privately, through a health fund rebate where your cover allows, or through a payment plan. We have written about why Medicare does not cover dental in Australia.
Can I use my superannuation to pay for dental implants?
In some circumstances.
The Australian Taxation Office allows early release of super on compassionate grounds for medical treatment where its conditions are met, and dental treatment can qualify. The ATO sets the conditions and makes the decision; we do not give financial advice and cannot guarantee approval. Our two guides describe the process: Early release superannuation for major dental and Navigating compassionate grounds super.
Why are dental implants so expensive in Australia?
Because you are paying for three things at once: surgery, a restoration made to measure for your mouth, and years of follow-up.
All of it is done by registered practitioners in Australia with components from a small number of manufacturers, and none of that is cheap. Our fee also covers specialist-led planning, teeth made in the building by the on-site laboratory, and a written warranty on both the implants and the prosthesis.
What is cheaper than a tooth implant?
A removable partial denture or a tooth-supported bridge costs less to begin with.
A bridge relies on the neighbouring teeth and a denture rests on the gum, so over ten to fifteen years an implant can work out to be the more economical option. Your clinician can talk you through which suits your situation.
What is the best age to get dental implants?
Once the jaw has finished growing, from about the early twenties, there is no upper age limit.
Bone quality and general health matter more than age, and both are assessed at your consultation.
