Regain your smile! Why many Aussies are deciding to get dental implants with the help of health insurance

Many Aussies are regaining their confidence thanks to dental implants

Losing or breaking a tooth can make you feel less confident, and dentures may not be the solution for you. However, you may be able to replace those problem teeth with dental implants.

False teeth are more common than you think however these old solutions are often uncomfortable, unstable and won’t always last.

Thankfully, dental implants are available as a longer term fix – and may cost less than you think if your health insurance policy could help cover part of the cost!

Why Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a more permanent solution that blend seamlessly with your current teeth, not only giving you back your smile, but can help protect your teeth, gums and jaw from further damage.

Not only will they provide you with a stronger and more stable bite, but the way they are secured to your jaw means you’ll never have to worry about it slipping out, or anyone spotting it when you smile.

These implants can often come at a high price – over $2,500 for one tooth*! However, Many Australians could potentially save through health insurance packages with dental cover that may help with some of the cost of implants.
