Dental implants are the gold standard in tooth replacement - providing a permanent, natural-looking solution that preserves bone health and restores your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Core Dental Wyndham, we offer dental implants that are built to last.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant consists of three components:
- A titanium implant screw - surgically placed in the jawbone, where it bonds with the bone over three to six months in a process called osseointegration
- An abutment - a connector piece that attaches to the implant
- A dental crown - a custom porcelain crown that matches your natural teeth in shape and colour
The result is a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth.
Single Tooth Implant - From $3,500
A single dental implant at Core Dental Wyndham starts from $3,500. This covers the implant placement and the final crown. The exact cost depends on your specific clinical situation, bone quality, and whether any additional procedures such as bone grafting are required. A written treatment plan with all costs itemised is provided before any work begins.
The Implant Process
Your implant journey at Core Dental Wyndham follows these stages:
- Consultation and assessment - digital X-rays, intraoral scanning, and a full clinical examination
- Treatment planning - your dentist explains all options and provides a written quote
- Implant placement - a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthetic (sedation available)
- Healing period - three to six months for the implant to integrate with your bone
- Crown placement - your custom porcelain crown is fitted and adjusted for perfect bite and aesthetics
Core Dental Wyndham is the only Core Dental location with an on-site Specialist Periodontist - Dr Nupur Kataria. Dr Kataria holds a Doctorate in Clinical Dentistry in Periodontics from the University of Adelaide, is a Fellow of the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, and is a member of the ITI (International Team for Implantology). Dr Kataria performs the surgical placement of dental implants at Wyndham, providing specialist expertise in the bone and gum management that underpins long-term implant success. Lead dentist Dr Darren Manoharan also has a strong special interest in implants, crown and bridge.
Why Implants Rather Than a Bridge or Denture?
Unlike a dental bridge, an implant does not require the adjacent teeth to be reduced. Unlike a denture, an implant is fixed and does not move. Critically, an implant stimulates the jawbone - preventing the bone loss that occurs when a tooth is missing.
With proper care, dental implants can last 15 years or more.
Payright Interest-Free Payment Plans
We understand that dental implants are a significant investment. Payright interest-free payment plans allow you to spread the cost over up to 30 months with no interest. Fortnightly repayments make implant treatment genuinely accessible.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most adults with good general health and adequate bone density are suitable for dental implants. Smoking significantly increases implant failure risk - we encourage smokers to cease at least one week before and two months after surgery. Patients with diabetes, osteoporosis, or taking certain medications will be assessed individually.
Core Dental Wyndham is our most specialist-rich suburban location, with a periodontist on-site to support complex implant placements including cases requiring bone grafting or sinus lifts. This makes Wyndham a natural destination for patients in Melbourne's west who require advanced implant surgery without travelling to the CBD. As a preferred provider for HCF, CBHS, and NIB, many patients receive significantly reduced out-of-pocket implant costs through their health fund.
