Curious about costs and timelines?
Three Cases Where Travel Does Not Save Money
1. Single implant, NZ quote under NZD 7,000, travel cost exceeds clinical saving for most NZ postcodes
2. Veneers, 2–4 units only, clinical saving (NZD 2,500–3,500) does not cover travel cost
3. Acute emergency requiring treatment within 1 week, dental tourism is a planned pathway, not an emergency one
