Dental Implants in Sydney
Our dentists will use dental implants, titanium screws, that are fixed to your jawbone. These implants will be fixed to the areas where you have missing teeth. Dental implants will look and function like a normal tooth.
The titanium screw supports the prosthetic mount (the new tooth). The final product is an implant that looks, feels, and acts as a tooth with high durability and functionality. It will feel like and act as a normal tooth would.
Our dental implants have an excellent success rate, giving you long-lasting results that you will be happy with. Our dental implants are made using titanium fixtures and will support any lifestyle, diet and aesthetic needs.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants are the most advanced and reliable solution for replacing missing teeth, designed to restore both full function and natural appearance. At Designer Smiles, patients across Sydney choose implants for their long-term durability, stability, and life-changing results.
- Natural Look and Feel
Dental implants are designed to closely replicate natural teeth, restoring both appearance and everyday function with confidence. - Improved Eating and Chewing
Eat comfortably again with a stable solution that allows you to enjoy a full, unrestricted diet. - Enhanced Confidence and Smile Aesthetics
Restore your smile, speech, and self-confidence with a natural-looking tooth replacement solution. - Prevent Bone Loss
Implants integrate with the jawbone, helping to maintain bone structure and prevent facial collapse over time. - Protect Surrounding Teeth
Unlike bridges, implants do not rely on adjacent teeth for support, helping preserve your natural tooth structure. - Long-Term Durability
With proper care, dental implants can last 20+ years and often a lifetime, making them a long-term investment in oral health. - Improved Comfort and Convenience
Fixed in place, implants feel secure and eliminate the discomfort or inconvenience of removable dentures. - Versatile Treatment Options
Suitable for replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or supporting full-arch restorations depending on your needs.
What is the Dental Implant Procedure?
At Designer Smiles, implant procedures are performed under the care of Dr Sarkis Nalbandian, Specialist Prosthodontist and Implant Surgeon, ensuring every case is managed with advanced precision, clinical expertise, and long-term success in mind.

Consultation and Digital Imaging
We begin with a comprehensive assessment, including digital scans and X-rays, to evaluate your teeth, gums, and jawbone structure. This allows us to accurately plan the ideal position for your implant.

Implant Placement
A titanium implant is gently placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. Local anaesthetic is used to ensure you remain comfortable throughout the treatment.

Healing and Bone Integration
Over the next few months, the implant naturally integrates with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong and stable foundation for your replacement tooth.

Abutment Placement
Once healing is complete, a small connector (abutment) is attached to the implant, preparing it for the final restoration.

Custom Crown Placement
A custom-made crown is created to match the shape, colour, and appearance of your natural teeth. It is then securely attached to the implant, completing your restoration.
Bone Grafting and Complex Cases
For patients with reduced jawbone density, advanced procedures such as bone grafting may be recommended to strengthen the foundation and ensure long-term implant success. Every treatment plan is fully personalised to achieve stable, predictable results.
How Much Do Dental Implants Cost In Sydney
Dental implants in Sydney can cost between $1,000 – $6,500 per tooth. The price may depend on your case. Your dentist will discuss all pricing During your consultation before moving forward with the procedure.
If you’re looking for a high-quality yet affordable alternative to traditional tooth replacement options, then contact Designer Smiles. We focus on delivering dental implants on a budget without compromising on durability, function, or aesthetics.
Types Of Dental Implants
There are several types of dental implants to fit different needs:
- Single Tooth Implants: Replaces one tooth with one implant and crown.
- Multiple Tooth Implants: Replaces multiple missing teeth with several implants supporting crowns or bridges.
- All-on-4 Implants: Uses four implants to support an entire arch of replacement teeth for a full set of upper or lower teeth.
Opting for multiple implants in a single appointment minimises the need for additional clinic visits, reduces the recovery period, and streamlines the process, saving you time and expenses. Additionally, our expertise extends to cases where a significant number of teeth are missing, offering solutions such as all-on-4 dental implants in Sydney to restore your smile effectively.
Alternatives To Dental Implants
- Removable dentures: Prosthetic teeth that can be taken out and cleaned daily.
- Fixed bridges: Prosthetic teeth supported by adjacent teeth, providing a permanent option.
- Resin-bonded bridges: Prosthetic teeth with metal wings on either side to attach to surrounding teeth.
Longevity and Maintenance of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer exceptional durability, with the potential to last 25 years or more with proper care. Like natural teeth, they require regular cleaning and check-ups to maintain optimal oral health.
The titanium screw, serving as the implant root, can last a lifetime with appropriate maintenance. However, the crown, the artificial tooth component, may need replacement every 15–20 years.
Modern implants are designed to provide consistent results over an extended period, often lasting up to 45 years. Research indicates that patients who attend regular maintenance visits experience minimal issues with both implants and supporting prostheses.

Dental Implants FAQs
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial roots, usually made of titanium, which are fused into the jaw bone and form the foundation on which to attach a crown, replacing one or more missing teeth. There are several treatment options available, depending on whether one or several teeth need to be replaced, or whether all the upper or lower teeth need replacement, including the exciting new procedure – Same Day Teeth.
How can Dental Implants help me?
Dental implants will be a great solution if you:
- Cannot chew comfortably or efficiently with conventional dentures
- Have lost teeth and don’t want to wear partial dentures
- Lost a single tooth and don’t want a bridge
- If you are wearing a partial or full denture but want a fixed solution
Do Dental Implants hurt?
Surprisingly very little! Placement of dental implants does involve minor surgery. The procedure is very gentle and often done under Intravenous (IV) Sedation provided by a medical doctor specialised in emergency medicine and sedation. Under sedation people are not aware of the procedure itself. All post-operative medication is provided to reduce inflammation-swelling and discomfort.
Are Dental Implants always successful?
Modern dental implants have been around for over 45 years. Research shows that the success rate for dental implants can be over 90 per cent, one of the highest of any dental procedure.
The personal success rate of Dr Sarkis Nalbandian is 93.5 per cent. He has placed more than 3000 implants.
What happens if my body rejects a Dental Implant?
With dental implants, bone heals against titanium. In about 3-10 per cent of cases the bone will not do so. In this case the implant is removed, and we wait for 3-6 weeks for the site to heal, then a new implant is placed at this site.
Because our doctor’s success rate is high, we regard this as a small incidence. Therefore, we provide the second implant free of the cost. A small fee is charged for surgical set-up costs.
How do I care for Dental Implants?
Once we have successfully placed your new teeth, an appointment is scheduled with our dental hygienist who will explain the correct use of brushing and flossing. If any special brushes are needed, we will explain these to you. Generally speaking, you should care for your implants the same way as your natural teeth.
How long will Dental Implant treatment take?
Your first step is a consultation session with our dental implant specialist Dr Sarkis Nalbandian at Sydney dental implant centre, where he begins working on your specific needs. Important diagnostic information may include:
- Composite mock-ups (trial restorations). When you are having a cosmetic dentistry or a reconstructive procedure, these special diagnostic measures help you visualise the end result
- Photographs
- Digital X-rays
- Models of your teeth
- OPGs – orthopantomogram, where an X-ray tube moves around the head to give a panoramic view of the jaw and teeth
- Imaging
- Cone Beam CT (CAT) scans – a revolution in diagnostics Once we have discussed your treatment needs, treatment may begin.
Treatment time depends on what we do. Sometimes you can have a new tooth, or several teeth fitted in one day. Many options range within one visit or over 3 to 6 months. Sometimes, if we need to augment the bone, treatment may take about six months.
Where can I find the cheapest dental implants in Sydney without compromising on quality?
At Designer Smiles, we believe that dental implants should be both accessible and high quality. While looking for the cheapest in Sydney, take into account that our implants offer exceptional value by combining premium materials, experienced clinicians, and long-term results.
We use high-grade titanium fixtures and follow meticulous protocols to ensure safety, durability, and natural aesthetics. Very cheap, low-quality implants can lead to complications, re-treatments, or discomfort down the line, but our approach balances cost with long-term function and peace of mind.
If you’re looking for a cost-effective solution that doesn’t cut corners, our team will tailor a treatment plan to your needs and budget, without compromising on the quality you deserve.
What our Clients Say!
I've been a customer of Designer Smiles for over 20 years and I cannot say enough good things about them! From the moment you walk into the office, you are greeted with a warm and friendly atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. The staff is knowledgeable, professional, and caring. They use the latest technology and take the time to explain everything. I highly recommend them!
Dr Sarkis is the maestro of cosmetic dentistry….for years I suffered with 2 slightly darker front teeth due to a childhood accident. I’ve had composite veneers before but nothing compared to the composite veneers Dr Sarkis did……now I feel so confident smiling again……Dr Sarkis I can’t thank you enough…
Quite literally the best dentist I’ve been to in a lifetime. Dr Natasha Koelmeyer specifically is just a wonderfully kind and gentle Doctor. Must also mention that the head specialist here is also second to none. Their knowledge (goodness they know their stuff) their approach, their kind and gentle manner - my daughter actually enjoys going to the dentist. They’ve got a really considered patient centric mentality. I wouldn’t go anywhere else, every single person there including the reception staff is a star. Thank you Designer Smiles!
My journey with Dr Sarkis began about 10 years ago. I did not realise that I had lacked self confidence and shone away from "my true smile". Dr Sarkis was honest, reassuring and professional throughout my process and not only was he able to achieve that perfect smile but achieve same without compromising the health of my teeth and gums.The ongoing care at Designer Smiles is 5 star whether it is a routine check, clean minor or major dentistry. Thank you Dr Sarkis and also your team.
I found Designer Smiles from one of their YouTube videos showcasing the Icon treatment to fix white spots on teeth. Dr. Sarkis Nalbandian's consultation provided me with a thorough plan and showed me how their practise could give me predicable results for my concerns. I knew I was in safe hands. I had Kristy Gupta perform both of my procedures and she was very professional and so kind. I am very happy with my results!
I cannot express how grateful I am for Sarkis and the team at Designer Smiles. Around 11 years ago my life changed when Sarkis first transformed my smile with composite veneers. This month, with my original teeth in tact I returned to have my composite veneers upgraded to porcelain. I was amazed that Sarkis and his team could do this without an injections, no pain and whilst still keeping my original teeth in tact. I absolutely love the result and I would highly recommend that anyone that is unhappy with their smile in any way, must visit designer smiles
Started my treatment with the team at Designer Smiles in 2019. Had other dental treatments including Maxillofacial, expanders, straightening and gum grafting but out of all the procedures and surgeries Dr. Sarkis was the key as he was applying the ‘finishing product’ which included composite veneers. I am gobsmacked by the incredible job done. He talks the talk and definitely walks the walk. And his support team there are simply incredible and make you feel part of a family not just another dental clinic to take your money. Can not recommend highly enough. Customer for life here!!
