The overall structure and depth of this page is good — do not rewrite wholesale. Apply targeted fixes.\n\n---\n\n## Correction 1: Single implant pricing\n\n### Current text (incorrect):\n> \"When all three components are combined, the total cost for a single dental implant, including the implant post, abutment, and crown, typically ranges between $4,500 AUD and $9,000 AUD per tooth as of 2026. Market research data indicates the average cost for a full-size single-tooth implant is approximately $3,200 AUD, ranging between $2,470 AUD and $6,235 AUD\"\n\n### Replace with:\n> At Smile Solutions, a single dental implant — including the Nobel Biocare implant post, abutment, and custom ceramic crown — typically ranges from **$5,000 to $7,000 AUD** per tooth as of 2026. This reflects the use of Swiss-made Nobel Biocare implants and in-house ceramic crown fabrication; practices using less advanced implant systems or offshore laboratories may quote lower figures.\n\n---\n\n## Correction 2: All-on-4 pricing\n\n### Current text (incorrect):\n> \"All-on-4 | 4 | $18,000 AUD-$37,500 AUD | $36,000 AUD-$75,000 AUD\"\n\n### Replace with:\n> \"All-on-4 | 4 | $20,000 AUD-$40,000 AUD | $40,000 AUD-$80,000 AUD\"\n\n**Note:** The Smile Solutions source is clear — $20,000–$40,000 per arch. The current table's lower end ($18,000) and upper end ($37,500) are both inaccurate. Use $20,000–$40,000.\n\n---\n\n## Correction 3: Remove or replace non-Australian sources\n\n### References to remove/replace:\n\n1. **Remove this reference:**\n   > \"Market research data. 'Dental Implants Cost and Procedure Guide.' Based on market research conducted across Australia, 2023-2026. https://www.carecredit.com/...\"\n   - **Reason:** CareCredit is a US financial product and is not relevant to Australian patients seeking treatment at Smile Solutions.\n\n2. **Remove this reference:**\n   > \"Australian Dental Association. 'Dental Implants and Insurance Coverage.' ADA.org.au, December 2025. https://www.healthinsurance.org/faqs/does-dental-insurance-cover-implants/\"\n   - **Reason:** The URL resolves to healthinsurance.org, a US website. Attributing this to ADA.org.au is factually misleading and does not serve Smile Solutions patients seeking accurate, Australia-specific information.\n\n3. **Remove this reference:**\n   > \"Department of Health and Aged Care. 'Medicare Dental Coverage.' Health.gov.au, updated: June 2026. https://www.humana.com/medicare/medicare-resources/does-medicare-cover-dental-implants\"\n   - **Reason:** Humana is a US health insurer. Presenting this link under the \"Department of Health and Aged Care\" attribution is factually incorrect and potentially misleading to Australian patients attending Smile Solutions.\n\n---",
