In plain English

What is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to take the place of a missing tooth’s root. Over the following months the bone grows onto it, a connector is fitted, and a crown made to match the neighbouring teeth goes on top.

Unlike a bridge, nothing is cut down on the healthy teeth either side. Unlike a denture, an implant is fixed in place rather than taken out at night. Because it replaces the root as well as the tooth, the bone in that spot keeps doing its job.

Implant consultation

$300

With Dr Belal Aly: an examination, an OPG X-ray, a CBCT 3D scan and a written plan with item numbers. Yours to take away and compare.

One implant, plan to crown

$4,500

3D-guided planning, the implant, the connector and the final crown, all carried out by Dr Belal Aly.

Bone graft, only where needed

+$500

Decided from the OPG and the CBCT scan at the consultation, before you commit, taking a single implant to $5,000.

Outside the $4,500, stated plainly:
  • Removing a tooth that is still in place: $350–550 for a simple extraction, $850 for a surgical one.
  • Happy gas, if you would like it: $120 per appointment.

The first appointment

What happens at the $300 implant consultation?

The implant consultation at Berala Dental is a separate appointment with Dr Belal Aly, and it costs $300. It includes an examination, an OPG X-ray of the whole jaw, a CBCT 3D scan and a written treatment plan with item numbers covering the implant, the crown and anything that needs doing first.

The CBCT scan is the most important part of implant planning. It shows the jawbone in three dimensions: its height and width, and where the nerve and the sinus sit, so the implant is planned around the bone that is actually there rather than estimated from a flat X-ray.

If an implant is not the right answer for your mouth, Dr Belal Aly tells you so, and the written plan sets out the alternative instead. Nothing is booked on the day unless you want it to be; the plan is yours to take away and think over.

Step by step

How does implant treatment work at Berala Dental?

  1. Consultation and written planAn examination, an OPG X-ray, a CBCT 3D scan and a plan with item numbers, for $300.
  2. 3D-guided planningThe implant’s position is worked out on the CBCT scan before the appointment, rather than decided at the chair.
  3. PlacementDr Belal Aly places the implant under local anaesthetic. Happy gas is available at $120.
  4. HealingOver the following months the bone grows onto the implant. This stage is waiting, not appointments.
  5. Connector and crownOnce the implant is stable, the connector and a crown matched to your own teeth are fitted.
  6. ReviewsThe implant is checked at your regular visits, by the same practice that placed it.

Why months rather than one visit? Bone has to grow onto a dental implant before a crown can be loaded onto it, and that cannot be hurried safely. Most of the time is healing rather than appointments, and the written plan sets out the sequence before you commit.

Bone and grafting

What if there is not enough bone for an implant?

Bone can shrink after a tooth is lost, and grafting is often the answer. A bone graft adds $500 at Berala Dental, taking a single implant to $5,000. Whether you need one is worked out from the OPG and the CBCT scan at the $300 implant consultation, before you commit rather than discovered later.

If there is not enough bone even with a graft, you are told, and the written plan sets out the alternatives.

The honest limitation

Is an implant always the right answer?

No. An implant is one way to replace a missing tooth at Berala Dental, not the only one, and the $300 consultation exists to work out which option suits your mouth rather than to sell one of them.

Keep the tooth

If the tooth is still there and can be saved, a root canal at $1,800–2,200 with a crown at $1,500 (front) or $1,800 (back) keeps your own root in the bone.

A bridge

From $2,200 with Dr Belal Aly, assessed case by case. It fills the gap without surgery, but the teeth either side are prepared to carry it.

A denture

Suits some people, particularly where several teeth are missing. Berala Dental does not make dentures, and refers denture work to a local prosthetist.

Not everyone is a candidate for an implant. Bone volume, gum health and general health all decide whether an implant will hold, and they are assessed from the OPG and the CBCT scan. If the answer is no, you still leave with a plan for the sensible alternative.

Berala Dental is a general dental practice with no specialist on site. Implants here are provided within general practice by Dr Belal Aly, and where a case calls for a specialist, the practice refers.

The person in the room

Who places your implant at Berala Dental?

Dr Belal Aly, the principal dentist at Berala Dental, carries out the whole implant course himself: the planning, the placement and the final crown, at 184 Woodburn Road, Berala NSW 2141.

Nothing is handed to another clinic partway through, and the dentist who placed the implant is the one who reviews it. Dr Belal Aly speaks English and Arabic.

The question most people weigh

What about having implants done overseas?

Implants are often cheaper overseas, and the clinicians who place them can be well trained. The difference worth weighing is continuity: an implant is a placement, then months of healing, then a crown, then years of reviews.

The practical questions are who reviews the implant at six months once you are back in Sydney, and who holds the records a local dentist would need if something needs attention. Already had an implant placed overseas? The $300 consultation covers an examination, an OPG, a CBCT scan and a written plan, including which records to ask the original clinic for.

Health funds

Will my health fund pay towards a dental implant?

Berala Dental will not predict it. Your fund sets what it contributes from your policy and your remaining annual limits, and implants usually draw on major dental cover rather than general dental. You receive item numbers in writing, so you can put them to your fund and get the answer from the people who decide it.

Things people ask

What do people ask about dental implants?

How much does a dental implant cost at Berala Dental?

A single dental implant at Berala Dental is $4,500, covering 3D-guided planning, the implant, the connector and the final crown. Where a bone graft is needed the fee is $500 more, so $5,000. Removing a tooth that is still in place is separate, at $350–550 for a simple extraction or $850 for a surgical one. Every figure assumes your health fund contributes nothing.

How much is an implant consultation at Berala Dental?

An implant consultation at Berala Dental is $300 and is with principal dentist Dr Belal Aly. It includes an examination, an OPG X-ray, a CBCT 3D scan and a written treatment plan with item numbers covering the implant, the crown and anything needed first, yours to take away.

Is having a dental implant placed uncomfortable?

A dental implant at Berala Dental is placed under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb before anything starts. Some soreness afterwards is normal and is discussed with you beforehand. Happy gas is available at $120 per appointment for patients who would rather not be fully alert.

How long does a dental implant last?

Berala Dental will not put a number of years on a dental implant or promise it will last for life. How long an implant lasts depends on the gum and bone around it staying healthy, on cleaning it as carefully as a natural tooth, and on keeping up regular check-ups. The crown on top can wear over time and may need replacing on its own.

Do I need a referral for a dental implant?

No referral is needed. Book the $300 implant consultation directly with Berala Dental at 184 Woodburn Road, Berala NSW 2141, by calling (02) 9649 6468, on WhatsApp or online.

Can Berala Dental look at an implant quote from another clinic?

Yes. A second opinion on another clinic's implant quote is the $300 implant consultation at Berala Dental: an examination, imaging and Berala Dental's own written plan with item numbers, so the two plans can be read side by side. Berala Dental does not comment on another clinician's judgement.

Can I still get an implant if I lost the tooth years ago?

Often, yes. Bone can shrink after a tooth is lost, so the OPG and the CBCT scan at the $300 implant consultation check whether there is enough bone to hold an implant. If there is not, a bone graft adds $500 at Berala Dental, and if an implant is still not suitable, the written plan sets out the alternatives.
