Single-tooth implant
One implant replaces one tooth root and carries a custom crown. The teeth either side are left alone, unlike a traditional bridge.
Implant consultations at 220 Point Cook Road
Dental implants in Point Cook: one tooth, several or a full arch.
A dental implant is a small post, usually titanium, that replaces a missing tooth root and holds a crown, a bridge or a full arch of teeth. At Magical Smiles Point Cook, a single implant with a crown starts from $5,000, and All-on-X full-arch treatment is $26,000 per arch. This page compares the three paths and the extra steps that sometimes come first.
Most people arrive with one of four questions
Implants aren't one single treatment. They're a way of anchoring replacement teeth, and the right setup depends on how many teeth are missing and how much bone is there. Patients usually come to us with one of these on their mind:
- One gap you've been chewing around for months, or even years.
- Several missing teeth and a partial denture you'd rather stop taking out. Our article on implants versus dentures weighs up both.
- A loose or sore denture and questions about teeth that stay fixed in place.
- A dentist mentioned bone grafting or a sinus lift, and you'd like it explained in plain English.
Wherever you're starting from, the comparison below lays your options out side by side before you commit to anything.
Which one sounds like you?
Each option has its own page with the full detail. Start with the one closest to your situation.
Multiple-tooth implants
Two or more implants hold individual crowns or an implant bridge. A bridge can often replace more teeth than there are implants underneath.
All-on-X and implant-supported dentures
A full arch of fixed teeth held by a small number of implants, or a removable denture that clips onto implants for a firmer hold. All-on-X is $26,000 per arch.
Your written treatment plan confirms the full cost once you've been examined, including any grafting.
At a glance
A quick comparison to start the conversation. Your bone, your gums and the number of teeth involved decide which column fits.
| Single tooth implant | Multiple tooth implants | All-on-X / implant dentures | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typically suits | One missing or failing tooth | Several missing teeth, side by side or spread out | Most or all teeth in an upper or lower arch |
| How many implants | One | Often one per tooth, or fewer with an implant bridge | A small number per arch, holding the whole set |
| Day-to-day | Fixed; brushed and flossed like a natural tooth | Fixed; extra care cleaning under any bridge | Fixed teeth that stay in; cleaned daily with special brushes |
| Starting cost | From $5,000 | From $5,000 per implant | $26,000 per arch |

Three related procedures worth knowing
You may never need any of these, but they come up often enough that it helps to know what they are.
Bone grafting
If the jaw has thinned where a tooth used to be, a graft rebuilds it so the implant has something solid to sit in. More on bone grafting
A sinus lift
A specialised graft for the upper back jaw that raises the sinus floor to make room for new bone. More on sinus lifts
Peri-implantitis care
Implants need looking after. Inflammation of the gum and bone around an implant is called peri-implantitis, and regular checks help pick it up early. More on peri-implantitis care →
Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
Which path might suit you?
No option is better across the board; each suits a different starting point. Here's a first read, and your consultation fills in the rest. For a deeper look, see our guide to implant benefits, risks and suitability.
A single implant may suit you if…
- You're missing one tooth and the teeth around it are healthy.
- You'd rather not have neighbouring teeth shaped to hold a bridge.
- You want something fixed, not removable.
Multiple implants may suit you if…
- You're missing several teeth, together or in different spots.
- You'd prefer a fixed option to a removable partial denture.
- You'd like to know whether a bridge could mean fewer implants.
All-on-X may suit you if…
- Most or all of the teeth in an arch are missing or failing.
- Your current denture moves, rubs or makes eating a chore.
- You want teeth that stay in, not a plate you take out.

Dental implant FAQs
A single implant replaces one tooth with one post and crown. Multiple implants replace several teeth with individual crowns or an implant bridge. All-on-X replaces a whole arch with a fixed set of teeth held by a small number of implants.
At Magical Smiles Point Cook, a single implant with a crown starts from $5,000 and All-on-X is $26,000 per arch. Grafting or a sinus lift, if needed, is quoted separately in your written plan.
Not always. A graft is only needed when there isn't enough bone to hold the implant, which your dentist checks at your examination. A sinus lift applies only to the upper back jaw.
Not everyone. Gum health, bone volume, smoking and some medical conditions affect suitability. Your dentist will explain whether implants suit you and what the alternatives are, such as a bridge or denture.
It varies. An implant usually needs a few months to bond with the bone before the final teeth are fitted, and grafting can add healing time. Your dentist will outline the timeline for your plan.
