Dental Implants at Core Dental Wyndham product guide

Core Dental Group dental implants – Wyndham

Dental implants are widely regarded as the gold standard in tooth replacement — a permanent, natural-looking solution that preserves bone health and gives you back the ability to eat, speak, and smile without thinking twice. At Core Dental Group's Wyndham clinic, we provide dental implants built to last.

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant has three components:

1. A titanium implant screw, surgically placed into the jawbone, where it bonds with the bone over three to six months through a process called osseointegration
2. An abutment, a connector piece that attaches to the implant
3. A custom porcelain crown, matched to your natural teeth in shape and colour

Together, they create a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing.

Single tooth implant — from $3,500 AUD

A single dental implant at Core Dental Group's Wyndham clinic starts from $3,500 AUD, covering implant placement and the final crown. The exact cost depends on your clinical situation, bone quality, and whether additional procedures such as bone grafting are needed. A written treatment plan with all costs clearly itemised is provided before any work begins.

The implant process

Your implant journey at Core Dental Group's Wyndham clinic follows a clear, step-by-step process:

1. Consultation and assessment — digital X-rays, intraoral scanning, and a thorough clinical examination
2. Treatment planning — your dentist walks you through all available options and provides a written quote
3. Implant placement — a minor surgical procedure performed under local anaesthetic, with sedation available
4. Healing period — three to six months for the implant to fully integrate with your bone
5. Crown placement — your custom porcelain crown is fitted and adjusted for a comfortable bite and natural appearance

Core Dental Group's Wyndham location is the only Core Dental clinic with an on-site Specialist Periodontist. Dr Nupur 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). She performs all surgical implant placements at Wyndham, bringing 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 choose implants over a bridge or denture?

A bridge requires the surrounding teeth to be reduced. A denture moves. An implant does neither — it's fixed in place and actively stimulates the jawbone, which helps prevent the bone loss that typically follows tooth loss. With proper care, dental implants can last 15 years or more.

Payright interest-free payment plans

Dental implants are a meaningful investment, and we want to make that as manageable as possible. Payright interest-free payment plans let you spread the cost over up to 30 months with no interest, with fortnightly repayments making treatment accessible for more patients.

Are you a candidate for dental implants?

Most healthy adults with adequate bone density are suitable candidates. Smoking significantly increases the risk of implant failure — we encourage patients who smoke to stop at least one week before surgery and for two months afterwards. Patients with diabetes, osteoporosis, or who are taking certain medications will be assessed individually.

Core Dental Group's Wyndham clinic is our most specialist-rich suburban location, with a periodontist on-site to support complex placements including bone grafting and sinus lifts. That makes Wyndham a practical choice for patients in Melbourne's west who need advanced implant surgery without travelling into the CBD. As a preferred provider for HCF, CBHS, and NIB, many patients also benefit from significantly reduced out-of-pocket costs through their health fund.
