Frequently Asked Questions

How much does All-on-4 dental implants cost in NZ?

All-on-4 dental implants in New Zealand cost between $20,000-$30,000 for a single arch (upper or lower jaw) and $40,000-$60,000 for both arches. The exact cost depends on material choice, surgeon experience, location, and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are needed.

Is All-on-4 cheaper than traditional dental implants?

Yes, All-on-4 is typically 30-40% cheaper than traditional full arch implants. Traditional implants require 6-8 implants per arch ($30k-$50k), while All-on-4 uses only 4 implants per arch ($20k-$30k). You also save on surgical costs and healing time.

Can I get financing for All-on-4 implants?

Yes, most New Zealand dental clinics offer payment plans for All-on-4 implants. Options include 0% interest clinic plans (12-36 months), medical finance through Q Card or Gem (12-60 months), and limited health insurance coverage ($1,000-$2,500). Monthly payments typically range from $350-$900 depending on the term.

What's included in the All-on-4 cost?

All-on-4 cost typically includes: initial consultation and 3D imaging, 4 titanium implants per arch, temporary teeth fitted same day, final prosthesis (zirconia or acrylic), all surgical procedures, anesthesia, and follow-up care for 1-2 years. Additional costs may include extractions, bone grafting, or premium materials.

How long does All-on-4 treatment take?

All-on-4 treatment takes 3-6 months total. You receive temporary teeth the same day as implant surgery. After 3-6 months of healing, the final prosthesis is fitted. This is much faster than traditional implants which take 6-12 months.

Does insurance cover All-on-4 implants in NZ?

Private health insurance in New Zealand provides limited coverage for All-on-4 implants, typically $1,000-$2,500 maximum. Most policies consider it cosmetic unless medically necessary. Check with your provider about orthodontic or major dental benefits. ACC may cover costs if tooth loss was due to an accident.

What's the difference between All-on-4 and All-on-6?

All-on-4 uses 4 implants per arch ($20k-$30k) while All-on-6 uses 6 implants ($25k-$35k). All-on-6 provides enhanced stability and weight distribution, recommended for patients with stronger bite force or those wanting extra security. The procedure is similar but takes slightly longer.

Are All-on-4 implants worth the cost?

For most patients missing all or most teeth, All-on-4 is excellent value. Compared to alternatives: dentures ($2k-$8k but uncomfortable and require replacement), traditional implants ($30k-$50k and longer treatment), or no treatment (health issues, reduced quality of life). All-on-4 offers fixed teeth, natural function, and typically lasts 20+ years with proper care.
