Dental Implants in IndiaCosts, Brands, and Timelines for New Zealand Patients

Single-implant, All-on-4 and All-on-6 prices start with Preferred-tier implants (Osstem, Dentium, Zimmer or an equivalent brand). Straumann and Nobel Biocare are available at the Premium tier, priced in your written quote. CBCT and the surgical guide are included in an All-on-4 or All-on-6 quote. IV sedation is quoted separately if you choose it.

You fund treatment yourself. Adult dental care is not publicly funded. New Zealand funds dental care up to age 18, after which adults pay privately. ACC covers dental damage from an accident, but not tooth loss from decay or gum disease. KiwiSaver early withdrawal on significant financial hardship or serious illness grounds (assessed by your provider, where eligible) may apply.

A single implant price is not a treatment price. Ask whether the quote includes the abutment, the crown, the CBCT scan, and any bone work, because a headline figure that excludes three of the four is not comparable to one that includes them. Your written quote shows what each price covers, and the treatment cost estimator prices a full case rather than a component.

All-on-4. One arch of fixed teeth on four implants, angled to use the bone you have, usually without a bone graft (your CBCT confirms). It suits you if you have lost most of the teeth in a jaw or your remaining teeth are failing. All-on-4 compared against dentures.

All-on-6. The same principle on six implants, which spreads the bite load more broadly. Your surgeon recommends it where your bone volume allows it and your bite forces are heavy.

Full mouth, both arches. Upper and lower rebuilt together as one planned sequence instead of two separate treatments.

Zygomatic and pterygoid implants. For severe upper-jaw bone loss: the implants anchor in the cheekbone or pterygoid plate instead of the shrunken upper jaw. The alternative is a graft followed by months of healing before implants can start. Zygomatic implants explained.

Ceramic implants. One-piece zirconia, for patients who want a metal-free option.

Your trip, 3 to 4 days in New Delhi: scan, surgery and fixed zirconia teeth within 72 hours, where your bone quality and primary stability allow it. How same-day teeth work.

One trip, 3 to 4 days: we fit your final zirconia teeth within 72 hours. After your trip, we review your progress by video with you or your dentist in New Zealand.

If you need a bone graft first, your written plan states the extra time before you book. The treatment timeline tool maps your own case, and how many trips do I need covers the planning in more detail.

• Failure to integrate. A small proportion of implants do not fuse with bone and need removal and replacement. Smoking, uncontrolled diabetes, and poor bone quality raise the risk, which is why the medical history matters more than the price.
• Peri-implantitis. Inflammatory bone loss around an integrated implant, driven largely by plaque control and maintenance over the years that follow. Caring for implants long term.
• Insufficient bone. Discovered on the CBCT scan, not on a photograph. It changes the plan and sometimes the price, which is why the scan is repeated on arrival and any change is re-quoted before work starts.
• Nerve proximity in the lower jaw. Managed by digital planning, and the reason planning is done on a three-dimensional scan rather than a panoramic X-ray.
