Focusing on exceptional patient care, we provide high-quality dental implants to establish a strong foundation for long-term oral health.Quality dental implants can change your life. Beyond a beautiful smile, replacing lost teeth can restore confidence, reduce the risk of gum disease, stop jawbone shrinkage, and delay the appearance of aging. We are the leading dental implant professionals in Melbourne, offering a customised plan of action to restore your smile.
Dental implants are a long-term solution to tooth loss. Whether you’re missing one, several, or all your teeth, we can create a customised implant to get your smile back.
Why consider dental implants:
At Parker Dental, we offer different types of dental implants to restore your smile: single tooth implants, designed to replace individual missing teeth with a natural look, and implant bridges, which fill gaps left by multiple missing teeth for a stable, lasting solution. Both options are customised to meet your dental needs for a confident, complete smile.
A single tooth implant is ideal for replacing a missing tooth without affecting neighboring teeth. For this type of implant, a single titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone, acting as a sturdy foundation for a custom-made dental crown. This restores your bite and maintains the natural appearance of your smile. With proper care, a single tooth implant can last a lifetime.
Implant bridges are perfect for patients who are missing multiple adjacent teeth. Unlike traditional bridges, which rely on natural teeth for support, implant bridges are anchored by dental implants, preserving the health of your surrounding teeth and jawbone.
For patients missing most or all of their teeth, All-On-4 dental implants offer a revolutionary full-arch restoration. This technique uses just four strategically placed implants to support a complete set of fixed replacement teeth. With a shorter recovery time and a secure fit, this option is a life-changing, permanent solution for restoring your smile.

Got questions about dental implants? We’ve got the answers.

recovery, and what to expect.
All-on-4 dental implants cost upwards of $25,000 per arch in Australia. The price will vary based on a number of factors including the city in which you live, the experience and specialisation of the dentist you choose, the quality of the materials used, optional extras like sleep dentistry, and the need for additional procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts.
Unfortunately, Medicare doesn’t cover dental implants, but many private health insurance plans offer partial coverage. These plans will usually cover at least part of the overall cost.
If general anaesthetic is required, Medicare will usually cover at least 50% of the anaesthetist fee.

The pros of All-on-4 dental implants are:
The cons of All-on-4 dental implants are:
With proper care and high level of dental hygiene, All-on-4 implants should last 10-15 years. Certain habits like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption can reduce the lifespan. However, some patients report All-on-4 implants lasting 25 years or more, making them a durable and long-lasting solution for full-arch tooth replacement.
All-on-4 dental implants usually have 10 to 14 teeth per arch, depending on available bone and implant position. This configuration is designed to restore a full set of upper or lower teeth, using four strategically placed implants – hence the name. The prosthesis consists of 10 to 12 teeth in the front and 2 teeth on the sides (premolars) to give both a natural look and a functional bite.
When it comes to dental implants, Melbourne prices can vary depending on the complexity of the procedure and the clinic chosen.
In general, you can expect to pay;
Medicare doesn’t cover dental implants, but many private health insurance plans offer partial coverage. These plans will usually cover at least part of the overall cost.
At Parker Dental, patients can also utilise SuperCare to pay for dental implants. As part of this scheme, you can access your super to pay for your treatment, your partner’s or your children’s treatment. You may choose to apply for funding to cover the entire cost of the procedure or part of the cost.
Dental implants last well over 20 years, compared to an average of 10 years for bridges and dentures. The titanium screw will likely last the rest of your life. Once it fuses to the bone, it becomes and integral part of your jaw and should need no further attention.
The attached artificial tooth is the least durable part of the implant, and is likely the only component which will need replacing. You can expect to replace a crown roughly every 10 years, depending on if it’s made of porcelain, ceramic, or pressed ceramic, and how diligent you are about oral hygiene and regular cleaning.
As a trusted supplier of affordable dental implants in Melbourne, Parker Dental can advise you on what material is best for you, and how to ensure that your implant lasts as long as possible.

You should be able to eat relatively normally 1-2 weeks after surgery.
However, for the first 24-48 hours, you should be eating soft, preferably liquid foods. Following this, you can eat soft foods, while still being mindful of texture and temperature.
While your diet will largely return to normal after 1-2 weeks, you should continue avoiding hard, crunchy, or chewy foods for up to six months. Spicy and highly acidic foods are also best avoided.
Once the dental implants have fully integrated, you can resume your normal diet. This is one of the major advantages of dental implants – they function just like real teeth, so once the healing process is complete you can eat without limitations.
The surgery itself is pain free, as the mouth will be numbed. However, as the numbness wears off it’s normal to experience some discomfort in the gums and jaw. Pain medication will be provided to manage this, and in many cases, it can be treated with over-the-counter pain medication. Patients can expect to be pain-free after ten days.
Dentures are faster, less invasive, and initially more affordable. But while dentures might seem cheap, dental implants win out in almost every category long term.
Unlike dentures, dental implants are a permanent solution that look and feel like your real teeth. This means it’s easier to chew, and you’re not restricted in what you can eat. Implants can also help prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone. While the upfront cost is higher, dental implants are actually less expensive in the long run.
To be a good candidate for dental implants, you must have good oral hygiene. A patient who doesn’t brush or floss regularly is unlikely to be a good candidate. For a successful dental implant surgery, the patient must also have sufficient bone mass.
Being generally fit and healthy is crucial in order to withstand the procedure and reduce the risk of complications. Smokers will be required to quit in the period leading up to the surgery and throughout the healing process, as smoking can significantly hinder recovery.
Certain health conditions, such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis or autoimmune diseases, can cause an implant to fail. Therefore, you might be precluded from dental implants.
