  "content": "# Dental Implants at Core Dental Bayside\n\nMissing teeth affect more than your smile - they affect your ability to eat, speak with confidence, and maintain the bone structure of your jaw. Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, and Core Dental Bayside will offer this life-changing treatment from our Bentleigh practice when we open in June 2026.\n\n## Dental Implant Pricing at Core Dental Bayside\n\n| Treatment | Indicative Price |\n|---|---|\n| Single dental implant (surgery) | from $3,500 |\n| Implant crown | Quoted after assessment |\n| All-on-4 single arch | from $31,000 (at Smile Solutions CSSC via referral) |\n| All-on-4 dual arch | from $56,000 (at Smile Solutions CSSC via referral) |\n\nAll treatment costs are provided upfront in writing before any procedure begins.

Supercare (early superannuation release) available for eligible patients.\n\n## What Are Dental Implants?\n\nA dental implant is a small titanium screw that is placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once the implant integrates with the bone (a process called osseointegration, typically taking 3-6 months), a custom-made crown is attached on top to create a natural-looking, permanently fixed replacement tooth.\n\nImplants are:\n- **Permanent and fixed** - they do not come out like dentures\n- **Natural-looking** - custom-crafted to match your existing teeth\n- **Bone-preserving** - they stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that follows tooth loss\n- **Long-lasting** - with proper care, implants can last a lifetime\n- **Easy to maintain** - brush and floss like natural teeth\n\n## Dental Implant Services at Core Dental Bayside\n\nAt Core Dental Bayside, we will offer:\n\n- **Single tooth implants** - replacing one missing tooth\n- **Multiple implants** - replacing several missing teeth independently\n- **Implant-supported crowns and bridges** - fixed restorations supported by implants\n- **Treatment planning** - full digital workup before any procedure\n\nComplex full-arch cases (such as All-on-4) are referred to the Collins Street Specialist Centre at Smile Solutions for specialist-level surgical and prosthodontic care.\n\n## Are You a Candidate for Implants?\n\nMost healthy adults with sufficient bone volume are suitable candidates for dental implants. Factors that affect suitability include:\n\n- Bone density and volume (bone grafting may be required if bone loss has occurred)\n- Overall health and medical history\n- Smoking (significantly increases failure risk - quitting is strongly recommended)\n- Gum health\n\nYour dentist at Core Dental Bayside will complete a thorough assessment and provide a clear treatment plan with written costs before any procedure is undertaken.\n\n## Payment Options\n\nHICAPS for instant health fund claiming. Payright interest-free payment plans for up to 30 months. Supercare (early superannuation release) available for eligible patients.

The titanium implant itself is designed as a permanent fixture; the crown on top may need replacement after 10 to 15 years.\n\n**Is the implant procedure painful?**\nDental implant placement is performed under local anaesthetic and is generally well-tolerated. Some soreness and swelling for a few days after surgery is normal and managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Sleep dentistry (IV sedation) is available for particularly anxious patients.\n\n**How long does the full implant process take?**\nA conventional implant involves placement, followed by 3 to 6 months of healing (osseointegration) before the final crown is attached. Same-day or immediate implants are available in selected cases. Your dentist will provide a timeline at your assessment.\n\n**Am I a suitable candidate for implants?**\nMost adults with good general health are suitable candidates. Adequate bone density is required, though bone grafting can build this up where needed. Smokers face a higher risk of implant failure and are advised to quit before treatment. A full clinical assessment - including imaging - determines suitability.",
