General Questions

Do I need a referral?

No, a referral is not required. While we often work alongside general dentists to provide surgical care, you are welcome to book a free consultation directly with us to discuss your smile goals.
What services do you offer?

We provide comprehensive care under one roof, including dental implants (All-on-X, Zygomatic, Pterygoid), full mouth reconstruction, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and cosmetic and restorative treatments.
Why is Axis Dental more affordable?

Our pricing reflects efficient, in-house systems and strong industry partnerships, not a compromise on quality. We use premium implant systems and advanced technology to deliver high-level care at accessible prices.
What payment options are available?

We offer flexible options including staged payments, third-party finance, and early superannuation access (subject to eligibility), tailored to your budget.
What happens at my first consultation?

We assess your concerns, health and goals, take any necessary scans, and present clear treatment options with transparent pricing so you can make an informed decision.
I’ve been referred to a specialist – Can Axis help?

Yes. We regularly manage complex surgical cases and offer second opinions. Your complimentary consultation will include a thorough assessment and clear, evidence-based treatment options. Note: All surgical procedures carry risks. A second opinion is recommended.

What is All-on-X?

All-on-X uses 4–6 implants to support a full-arch, fixed bridge - providing a stable alternative to dentures.
What if I’ve been told I don’t have enough bone?

We offer advanced solutions like Zygomatic and Pterygoid implants as alternatives to traditional implants.
What is the recovery time?

Most patients return to light activity within a few days. In many cases, temporary teeth are placed on the same day, with full healing over several months.
Is the procedure painful?

We offer sedative and local anaesthesia options for a comfortable experience. Post-operative discomfort is typically mild and manageable with prescribed medication.
Are implants long-lasting?

Yes. With proper care and regular check-ups, implants can last many years- often decades- providing a stable solution.

What treatments do you offer?

We provide crowns, bridges, dentures and gum procedures, all tailored to restore function and enhance your smile.
How do I choose the right treatment?

Your consultation includes a full assessment and personalised recommendations based on your goals and oral health giving you the information needed to make the right decision.
How long do results last?

With good oral hygiene and regular care, many treatments can last 10+ years. We provide detailed aftercare guidance.
Will my results look natural?

We use high-quality materials and precise planning to ensure results that are functional, balanced, and life-like.
