What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone where a natural tooth root used to sit. Once integrated with the bone, it supports a custom-made crown that looks and functions like the tooth it replaces — and unlike a bridge, it does not rely on the healthy teeth on either side for support.
For patients searching dental implant Sydney, the goal is rarely "just close the gap." It is to restore stable function, balance the bite, protect the surrounding teeth from drifting, and preserve the jawbone — which can shrink in the area of a missing tooth over time.
At Midas Dental in Erskineville we plan single-tooth implant cases using MIS or Nobel Biocare implants, both of which are globally recognised systems with long clinical track records. Each case is assessed individually based on bone, gum health, bite and your long-term oral-health goals.
Straightforward single-tooth dental implant in Sydney, including implant placement and the final crown. We will give you an exact written quote at your consultation once we have reviewed your scan.
Payment plan options are available — ask us at your consultation.* Starting price for straightforward single-tooth implant cases. Final cost confirmed after consultation. Additional procedures (bone graft, sinus lift, imaging, final crown) may add to the total.
Benefits of dental implant treatment
Natural look and feel
A well-planned dental implant crown is matched to the shape, shade and contour of your existing teeth so it blends in — not stands out.
Protects your other teeth
Unlike a bridge, an implant does not require us to grind down the healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Those teeth stay untouched.
Preserves jawbone
The implant stimulates the bone the way a natural root would, which helps slow the bone loss that typically follows tooth loss.
Eat what you want
A fully integrated implant restores chewing strength close to a natural tooth — most patients forget which side it is on within weeks.
Long-term solution
With routine maintenance and good gum health, dental implants are designed to be a long-term answer to a missing tooth, not a short-term fix.
Confidence to smile
Replacing a visible missing tooth often has the biggest emotional impact — patients tell us it changes how readily they smile in photos.
Single dental implant or All-on-4 — which one?
These are two very different treatments at very different price points. The right choice depends almost entirely on how many teeth you are replacing.
Single dental implant
One titanium post + one custom crown to replace one missing tooth. Most common implant case we see.
- Replacing 1 tooth (occasionally 2–3 separate sites)
- From From $4,500* per tooth
- MIS or Nobel Biocare implant system
- Adjacent healthy teeth stay untouched
All-on-4 dental implants
Four implants per arch supporting a complete fixed bridge — for patients missing most or all of their upper or lower teeth.
- Replacing a full arch of teeth
- From $17,999 per arch (Basic Package)
- Nobel Biocare implants only
- Different page, different planning workflow
What to expect from start to final crown
Every dental implant case is sequenced around your bone, your gum health and your tolerance for time vs. complexity. A typical single-tooth pathway looks like this.
Consultation & 3D scan
We review your medical history, examine your mouth and take 3D imaging to assess bone, sinus position and adjacent teeth.
Treatment plan & quote
We map out the recommended approach — direct placement, or extraction/grafting first — with an exact written quote.
Implant placement
The titanium implant is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Most patients return to normal activity the next day.
Healing & integration
The implant integrates with the bone over several months. We review at intervals and you continue normal cleaning of the area.
Final crown
Once the implant is fully integrated, we fit the custom-shaded crown — colour-matched to your existing teeth.
Who is suitable for a dental implant?
Most adults with reasonable gum health and adequate bone are suitable candidates. Some patients — heavy smokers, certain medical conditions, severe bone loss — may need preparatory care or a different treatment plan. The only way to confirm is a clinical assessment with imaging.

Dental implant Sydney — your questions answered
How much does a dental implant cost in Sydney?
At Midas Dental, a single-tooth dental implant starts from $4,500* for straightforward cases. Final cost depends on imaging, the implant brand chosen (MIS or Nobel Biocare), the final crown, and whether any preparatory work such as a bone graft or sinus lift is needed. A consultation is the only way to confirm an accurate quote. See our dental implant cost page for a full breakdown.
Are payment plans available for dental implants?
Yes — payment plan options are available for dental implant treatment at Midas Dental. The available options and terms depend on your treatment plan, so we will walk you through them at your consultation once you have a written quote.
What is a dental implant and how does it work?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone where a natural tooth root used to sit. After it integrates with the bone, it supports a custom crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. It is the closest modern dentistry gets to replacing a tooth from the root up.
Can one dental implant replace one missing tooth?
Yes. A single dental implant is the most common solution for one missing tooth — it replaces the tooth without grinding down the healthy teeth on either side, which would be required for a traditional bridge.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
A straightforward single-tooth case is typically planned across several months to allow the implant to integrate with the jawbone before the final crown is fitted. If grafting or extraction is needed first, the timeline extends. Your clinician will map the stages out at your consultation.
Is dental implant treatment painful?
Implant placement is performed under local anaesthetic and most patients describe it as more comfortable than they expected — often comparable to a routine extraction. Mild swelling or tenderness for a few days afterwards is normal and managed with standard pain relief.
Which dental implant brands does Midas Dental use?
For single-tooth dental implants we use MIS or Nobel Biocare, both globally recognised implant systems. The right choice depends on your case, your budget and your clinical needs — we will explain the options at your consultation.
Am I suitable for a dental implant?
Suitability depends on the condition of your gums, available bone, general health, medical history and lifestyle factors such as smoking. Some patients are straightforward candidates; others benefit from preparatory treatment such as a bone graft. A consultation with imaging is required to confirm.
Do I always need a bone graft before a dental implant?
Not always. Many patients have enough bone for direct placement. A bone graft is recommended only if imaging shows that bone volume needs to be built up to support the implant safely.
Single implant vs All-on-4 — which do I need?
A single dental implant replaces one missing tooth. All-on-4 is a full-arch solution for patients missing most or all of their teeth in an arch — four implants support a complete fixed bridge. They are different treatments with different price points, and which one is right for you depends entirely on how many teeth need replacing.
How do I look after a dental implant?
Daily brushing, flossing or interdental brushing, and routine professional checkups. Implants are not susceptible to decay, but the gums around them can develop peri-implantitis if neglected — long-term success depends on consistent maintenance.
