Risks of overseas treatment

Dental tourism has become a major trend worldwide, and this includes Australia. While overseas treatment may appear to be cheap, it comes with real risks to your health and safety and has enormous potential hidden costs to your finances, time and health in the long term.

Risks of foreign cheap dental implants

Each dental implant is placed with a special tool kit specific to that implant. Our practice uses only high-quality, well-researched, and published dental implants systems for our patients.


Cheap dental implants used in overseas treatments are mostly sourced from local manufacturers, so their quality is unknown. Add to this the unknown infection control risks of the overseas country, and the risks multiply. You may be one of the lucky ones; maybe not.

Risks of failed foreign dental implants

When patients come to us after a foreign implant has failed, we have no way of knowing what type of kit has been used to place that implant and its type as each implant is placed with a special tool kit specific to that dental implant. We also have no way of knowing instantly what type of treatment has been done or what type of infection you may have. If the implant has failed, we may have to cut the bone around the implant to remove it – a major surgery. Replacement with another implant may not be possible on the same site.

Put bluntly, you know what you’re getting in Australia. Australian laws regulate the dental industry and ensure the highest quality training, materials, and practices.


  • Expertise: In Australia, dentists must complete four years of university study. Oral surgeons complete an additional three or four years of study – a total of seven or eight years.
  • Materials: Our Melbourne practice sources dental implants from high quality, trusted Swiss manufacturers.
  • Practices: Australian regulations with regard to infection control are extremely high. While there is always a risk of infection, this is extremely small for dental procedures performed in Australia, and high-quality after-care is available.

Your overseas treatment may be much cheaper, but do you know who is doing your treatment and what qualifications they have? Do you know where your implant has been sourced? Do you know what the risks of infection are? Is aftercare available to you if something goes wrong? These are the few questions one has to answer before opting for any major dental treatment overseas.


If your overseas dental implant fails, it may end up costing you four to five times the cost of having treatment in Australia in the first place.
