Only High Quality Australian approved Dental Implants from world renown companies are used in our practise.
We also offer Implant Crowns for $1350.
You can have a new functional tooth for the total of $2850.
The difference in price between Dental Implant Systems is rarely more than $100. The design of new modern Dental Implants are very similar nowadays. Remember, if you are being charged thousands of dollars more, you are being charged this extra for labour, not for a better brand. Of most importance is good planning and an experienced surgeon.
We are proud to announce that from the 17th of august 2015 all Implant fixtures used in Melbourne and Sydney will be SA or SLA treated surfaces unless pre discussed with patients or dentists who refer cases with the preference of a particular high quality Australian approved brand.
SA and SLA surfaces are known to be the state-of-the-art Dental Implants due to Optimal surface roughness, early cell response and bone formation due to higher bone-to-implant contact allowing possible early loading and long last results.

Most of Surgical Wisdom Teeth Procedures are performed under local Anaesthetic in our clinics. We also perform surgery with several types of sedation and under general anaesthetics in different hospital and day surgeries in Melbourne and Sydney.
If it is decided that your case needs to be performed under Sedation or General Anaesthesia by your choice or by the surgeons recommendation additional fees may apply by Anaesthetists and different hospitals or day surgeries.
Wisdom Dental Emergency has established excellent fees with different facilities over the past decade in Melbourne and Sydney.
Hospital Costs depend on whether you have private health insurance and which city or hospital is chosen. If you have private hospital cover (and have had it for more than 12 months) then most health funds will fully cover the cost of the hospital stay. Additionally, there will be a bill from the anaesthetist. Medicare (and possibly your health fund) will cover a proportion of this bill; however, there could be a gap of approx $250 that you will need to fund.

There are no standard fees and prices for services provided by dentists. It is not like medical services covered by Medicare, which have prescribed fees in Australia.
This means a patient can get 10 very different treatment plans from 10 different dentists – and each can charge as they please. Why?
Dentistry is regulated by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) through the Dental Board of Australia (DBA), which provides registration standards, codes of conduct as well as guidelines for professional practice. These standards and guidelines only focus on ensuring quality of care and don’t extend to pricing or prescribe a treatment method for each dental service.
Dentists’ prices depend on a range of factors – such as location, overheads and differences in the method used (e.g. there’s different ways to provide a filling) .
This means costs for the same procedure can vary because it may take longer to perform on some patients, or dentists might use different techniques, or the degree of difficulty could vary.
Variations in the treatment method and materials offered by clinicians for the same item numbers mean you won’t necessarily want to choose your dentist based on cost alone, however it does help to have an idea of just how much other dental practitioners are charging for similar services.
To see just how much dental fees varied, The website Choice conducted a mystery shop by calling a total of 35 dental clinics across all eight states and territories (we included a mixture of capital city and regional dentists). They enquired about the cost of a check-up – comprehensive oral exam (item number 011), scale and clean (114) and a fluoride treatment (121) – as a new patient without private health insurance. We also checked the price for two X-rays (022).
What we found:
The cost of a check-up (oral exam/scale and clean/fluoride treatment) varied from $150 to $305, with an average price of $231.
Need X-rays? Add another $89.50 for two, on average.
Each year, the ADA surveys dental practitioners (in 2016 they had 2811 responses from practitioners and specialists) to provide average price data on over 100 dental treatments/item numbers.
According to the ADA’s fee data, the average cost of the same check-up we mystery shopped – including the examination, scale and clean and a fluoride treatment – is around $222 (add an average of $90 for two X-rays).
The ADA fee survey also shows big price discrepancies for the cost of dental work across Australia.
For example, prices for a tooth extraction (311) varied from $135 to $295, an anterior filling (521) from $115 to $206 and a crown (615) from $1261 to $1945.
In terms of price, the ACT most often had the most expensive price, followed by Tasmania; and South Australia most often had the cheapest, followed by Western Australia.
You’re also likely to pay more if you see a specialist as opposed to a general practitioner.
Specialists, in addition to meeting all the minimum requirements of practising as a general dental practitioner, must have completed two years of general dentistry practice and hold a qualification in their specialist area.
There are currently 13 different specialties in Australia: these include endodontics (root canal), orthodontics (such as braces) and prosthodontics (crowns and dentures) to name a few.
