Smile brighter with the top 5 dental implants in Canberra
Finding the right dental implant clinic in Canberra can feel overwhelming. With so many clinics promising expertise and affordable treatments, it’s tough to figure out which one truly stands out.
When I started looking into this, I knew I wanted a permanent and trustworthy solution to missing teeth, and not just a temporary fix.
What I found was that some clinics excel at cutting-edge surgical techniques, others shine with their patient care, and a few manage to balance affordability with professionalism.
How much do dental implants cost in Canberra?
On average, a single dental implant in Canberra can cost anywhere between $3,000 and $6,500, depending on the complexity of the case, additional procedures needed, and the type of implant. Some clinics offer flexible payment plans to make treatments more accessible.
1. Central Periodontics & Dental Implants
Address: Suite 1, Level 5, 161 London Circuit
Phone: (02) 6247 6555
Business hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
Central Periodontics & Dental Implants is one of Canberra’s most respected clinics for complex implant cases. Led by specialists in periodontics and implant surgery, the practice focuses exclusively on gum health and implant placement.
From my research, I noticed how much emphasis they put on precision. They use advanced digital planning and 3D imaging to ensure implants look and feel natural.
Many patients online praised the team’s professionalism and detailed explanations before treatment, which helps ease anxiety. The clinic is known for handling difficult implant cases that general dentists might refer to.
The downside is that being a specialist clinic, their services can come at a premium compared to general dental practices. Some reviewers also mentioned that appointment slots can be booked out well in advance, so scheduling flexibility is limited.
Highly recommended
“I am not a type of person who normally leaves a review online, but mate, what a great clinic! Very friendly staff, professional services provided by Dr Sethi and his team. From receptionist, to the nurses and assistants are also very nice in person, very gentle and made me great comfort to come here. Highly recommended. Thank you to everyone from this specialist clinic!”

2. Preventive Dentistry
Address: Unit 51, Level 1 Habitat, 38 Mort Street Braddon
Phone: (02) 6171 2088
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday, 8:30 am – 5:30 pm
- Saturday, 8:30 am – 1:00 pm (alternate Saturday)
Preventive Dentistry is a family-friendly practice that also offers advanced implant services. They’ve been around since 1963, which speaks volumes about their credibility and long-standing relationship with the community.
What I found impressive is how they combine implant placement with strong focus on long-term oral health, ensuring the gums and surrounding teeth are in great shape to support the implants.
Patients often highlight the friendly staff, clear communication, and the way the team makes procedures less intimidating. That said, being a busy family clinic means wait times can be a little longer, especially for specialist procedures.
While their pricing is fairly standard, it may not be the cheapest option if you’re looking purely for budget-friendly care.
Trusted dentist
“I want to share how positive my experience has been with preventive dentistry under Dr. Scott Park, who has been my trusted dentist since 2020. A week ago, I underwent a dental implant procedure, and the entire experience was exceptional. I was well cared for, and the post-operative support has been outstanding. Dr. Park is always available to answer my questions and genuinely checks in on my well-being. If you are looking for a dentist and more so looking to have a dental implant, I highly recommend Dr. Scott Park.”

Patient, friendly, and caring
“Dr Park has cared for my family for years. He is so patient, friendly and caring with kids, through all their primary-age bickering and, now, teenage attitude. He explains things clearly to both young and older patients, instilling confidence in his very real ability.”

3. Acacia Dental Group
Address: Suite 14, Level 2, Gadal Chambers, 48 Corinna Street, Phillip
Phone: (02) 6281 2222
Business hours:
- Monday to Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
- Saturday, 8:00 am – 12:30 pm
Acacia Dental Group has built a reputation as a trusted, family-owned dental practice in Canberra. Their implant services are comprehensive, covering everything from initial consultation and planning to placement and restoration.
I liked how transparent they are about the treatment journey, explaining each stage clearly on their website. Many patients online noted that the dentists were approachable and willing to answer every question, which makes the process less daunting.
Their Saturday availability is also a big plus for busy patients. On the flip side, because it’s a general dental practice, they don’t exclusively specialise in implants the way some clinics do. For complex cases, patients may be referred to other specialists.
Also, while their pricing is competitive, costs can still be significant if additional procedures like bone grafts are required.
Definitely recommend
“I have had a great, smooth experience at Acacia Dental. Dr Mallik is knowledgeable and accommodating. The staff were respectful, friendly and courteous of my time. Would definitely recommend their services to anyone.”

Quality of care
“I had an outstanding experience at Acacia Dental Group! From the moment I walked through the door, the warm and welcoming staff made me feel completely at ease. The clinic is spotless, modern, and equipped with advanced technology, which gave me great confidence in the quality of care they provide.”

4. Integrated Dental Canberra
Address: 5/16 Moore St
Phone: (02) 6249 8551
Business hours:
- Tuesday, 8:00 am – 9:00 pm
- Wednesday, 8:00 am – 8:30 pm
- Thursday and Friday, 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
- Saturday, 9:00 am – 3:00 pm
- Sunday, 8:00 am – 2:00 pm
Integrated Dental Canberra stands out for its patient-focused and holistic approach to dental care. Their implant services are part of a larger offering that includes cosmetic and restorative dentistry.
What impressed me most is their emphasis on technology. They use 3D scans and computer-guided surgery to improve accuracy and comfort.
Patients often praise the clinic for its modern facilities and the way the staff go out of their way to make treatments comfortable. The clinic also offers flexible payment options, which can make implants more accessible for patients worried about costs.
One drawback is that some patients mentioned higher-than-expected prices when additional treatments were required, which suggests that costs can add up depending on your needs.
Another point raised by patients is that due to their popularity, you might need to plan ahead for bookings.
Best professional service and skills
“Outstanding dentistry work surrounded by kind staff with great skill in relaxing their patients. Beautiful waiting room filled with plants and quality literature about healthy living. Costs are no more than any other dentist but the professional service and skills are the best I have ever experienced. Opening hours allow for visits outside the usual 9-5. Big shout out to Shri who fixed my teeth. Thank you!”
– Lee Grunwald, Google Review
Gentle, empathetic, and supportive
“Prior to visiting this clinic, I had not seen a dentist in excess of 10 years due to an absolutely crippling phobia. Now I’ve been several times within six months as the care I’ve received is so gentle, empathetic and supportive. I never imagined being able to sit through as much treatment as this as I was so afraid, but the entire experience at this clinic makes it feel safe and doable. Thank you to Dr Henriette and team for helping me improve my health by making dental care possible for me.”

5. Affordable Implants and Dentures
Address: 65 Colbee Ct Phillip
Phone: (02) 7252 9609
Business hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm
As the name suggests, Affordable Implants and Dentures is all about providing cost-effective implant solutions. Unlike many general dental clinics, they specialise in implants and dentures, making them a go-to for people looking for focused services.
I found it refreshing that they openly advertise affordability while still maintaining quality standards. Patients online appreciate the no-nonsense approach, where pricing is explained clearly and payment plans are available.
They even offer options like dentures on implants, which can be a more budget-friendly route. The main trade-off is that, as a budget-focused clinic, you may not get the same boutique feel or extra comfort that high-end practices provide.
Some patients also mentioned that the clinic can get quite busy, which sometimes affects waiting times. Still, if affordability without compromising too much on quality is your main concern, this clinic hits the mark.
Patient and endearing
“Lady Olga is not only the FINEST technician/ magician/ professional most amazing enamel artist you will ever find, she is most patient endearing to all her patients. Her amazing works every day are reflections of her most honourable nature and crafts.
I’m so happy with my results!! Thank you so so much!!!”
– Jason McGettigan, Google Review
Kind and caring approach
“Dr Asha Pandya-Sharpe has now completed what can only be described as impeccable work on my front teeth mainly due to damage caused through Bruxism (teeth grinding) that occurred out of medical issues I had been exposed to. She made it a pleasant and relaxing experience. I look in the mirror now and it is as if I had a set of brand new teeth which is great given I am 71 years of age. From the friendly receptionists to the support from well-capable dental assistants during my visits, I am very happy with Affordable Dental for its simple yet competent, honest, and professional approach. I recommend them to anyone in need of most levels of dental treatment and seeking a kind and caring approach.”
