Fixed bridge or implant-supported denture — which is cheaper?
In our cost file an implant-supported denture is priced lower per arch than a fixed All-on-4 or All-on-6 bridge (see the ranges above). The right option depends on your bone, bite and preferences, and is a decision to make with a registered dentist.
Does price vary between Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch?
Our price sources do not report city-level prices, so we show national ranges only. Compare written quotes from more than one clinic in your city.
Is dental implant treatment funded?
Adult implant treatment is usually paid privately. ACC may contribute where tooth loss was caused by an accident covered by ACC, and some health insurance policies include limited dental cover — ask ACC or your insurer before treatment starts.
What should I check before booking?
Check the dentist is registered with the Dental Council of New Zealand and holds a current practising certificate, ask how many of these procedures they have done, and compare clinics listed in our directory.
