Dental Implants AbroadSafety Checklist for New Zealand Patients
- Not all dental tourism is equal.
This checklist helps New Zealand patients evaluate any overseas dental clinic - including Stunning Dentistry - against the standards that actually determine clinical safety and long-term outcome quality.
The 10-Question Safety Checklist
1. What implant systems do you use - and are they Straumann, Nobel Biocare, or equivalent? 2. Can you provide ISO 9001 or equivalent sterilisation certification? 3. Is the clinic AAID, AACD, or equivalent accredited? 4. Who is my named surgeon - and what are their specific implant qualifications? 5. What is the lifetime failure rate for your All-on-4 cases? 6. Do you provide a written warranty - and what does it exclude? 7. Who is my named case manager after I return home? 8. Can I speak directly to a patient who has completed treatment? 9. What is the protocol if I need urgent care in New Zealand? 10. Will you coordinate with my New Zealand dentist - including sharing case records?
Red Flags to Avoid
No named clinician - only a 'team'. Unable to confirm which implant brand will be used. Price given before any X-ray review. No written warranty. 'Contact us if you have problems' without a defined protocol. No verifiable patient reviews (or only stock photos as 'before/afters'). Pressure to book immediately or price only valid for 24 hours.
