Here’s How Much Dentistry Actually Costs (Exact Prices Inside!)

When it comes to dental pricing, there’s rarely a straight answer. If you’ve either asked Google for insights or requested an exact figure from a dental professional, you’re likely familiar with the phrase “it depends”.

While individual treatments do vary based on your clinical needs, we believe that dental costs shouldn’t be a mystery. Because we care about transparency, this guide provides our updated 2026 dental fees for Melbourne Dental Studio (all prices in AUD) so you can plan your care with complete clarity.

Preventive & General Care

How much does a dental check-up and clean cost in Melbourne?

Scratching your head, Googling how much is a dental check-up without insurance in Melbourne? A standard check-up and clean at Melbourne Dental Studio costs $272.

When comparing the average cost of dental clean and X-rays Melbourne offers, don’t forget that our new patient deal includes a promotional rate of just $238. This introductory visit covers your comprehensive examination, professional clean, necessary X-rays, and a 3D bite assessment.

Regular preventive care helps us identify potential issues early, making a routine check-up and clean the most reliable way to maintain your oral health and avoid unexpected costs later.

Restorative Treatments

How much does a single dental implant cost in Melbourne?

The cost of a single dental implant typically ranges between $5,500 and $6,500 AUD, depending on the case complexity and tooth location. They cost the most because they not only involve crown placement — a $ 2,059-per-tooth venture in and of itself — but also invasive surgery. After putting you under general anaesthesia (the strongest form of sleep dentistry available), your dentist or dental surgeon will place the implants inside your jawbone — think of them as substitute tooth roots. Made from virtually indestructible titanium, implants are an ideal base for upholding dental crowns.

Here’s a simple dental implant price breakdown:

What is the cost of same-day CEREC® crowns in Melbourne?

Dental crowns cost $2,059 per tooth. This price also applies to our CEREC® options, which, thanks to the latest advancements in dental restoration technology, can be ready on the day you order them. So, whether you want to wait for your crown using the classic method or get your smile sorted in a single appointment, the final cost of your crown will remain the same.

Complex Endodontics & Extractions

How much does a root canal treatment cost?

Perhaps the most complex form of general dentistry, a root canal treatment generally costs between $1,100 and $1,800 AUD per tooth. The final price depends on the number of nerve canals requiring cleaning and sealing. Once a dental professional has removed the infected pulp from the tooth, re-filled the canal with gutta-percha, and re-sealed the tooth with a dental crown, costs can add up — especially if the process is repeated multiple times. Speak to your dentist about a down-to-the-dollar price tailored to your situation.

You might now be asking yourself, how much does a tooth extraction cost in Victoria?

Tooth extractions at Melbourne Dental Studio cost $259–$624, depending on the tooth’s condition or how difficult it is to extract. Tooth extraction is a last-resort option, and we wouldn’t do it if it weren’t absolutely necessary. Your dentist may discuss alternative options with you before recommending removal.

What dictates the price difference between a simple and complex tooth extraction?

The key factors influencing what’s considered a simple vs. complex extraction (and therefore the price) include the position of the tooth, the structure of its roots, whether it is impacted below the gumline, and the degree of surgical precision required to perform the removal smoothly and comfortably.

Cosmetic Dentistry

How much do dental veneers cost per tooth?

Porcelain or composite dental veneers at Melbourne Dental Studio are $1,772 per tooth for that classic Hollywood smile. We also have a new product called a 3D printed hybrid ceramic veneer for $850 per tooth — it’s cheaper because the 3D printing process means we don’t need to make physical putty teeth impressions that then need to be sent to a lab before veneer creation.

How much does a full smile makeover cost?

A full smile makeover combines multiple cosmetic and restorative services tailored specifically to your unique facial features and oral health — which is why there’s no one-size-fits-all price tag for them. For example, one person’s smile makeover might include Invisalign® and teeth whitening, whereas another’s might focus on veneers.
