Planning Dental Implant Treatment from Vanuatu?
Implant-Focused Dental Care
Treatment planning is led by Dr AJ Salman, who has experience in dental implant placement and restorative procedures. Each patient's suitability for implants is assessed individually, considering oral health, bone availability and medical history.
Understand Your Costs Before Travelling
We explain the expected costs of your recommended treatment and provide a written estimate following an appropriate assessment. Any additional procedures, such as bone grafting or extractions, will be discussed where relevant.
Treatment Planning Around International Travel
Dental implants often require several stages, with healing periods between appointments. We help you understand the likely sequence of treatment so you can plan your stay in Auckland and any return visits.
Aftercare When You Return to Vanuatu
Follow-up care is an important part of implant treatment. Before you return home, we discuss recovery instructions, review appointments and how ongoing dental care can be coordinated with a local practitioner where appropriate.

Arriving in Auckland
Plan Your Clinic Appointment
Our clinic is located in Northcote, Auckland. Allow sufficient time for international arrival procedures, travel from the airport and your appointment.
We recommend confirming your appointment and understanding the expected length of your visit before finalising travel arrangements.
Consultation and Assessment
Review Your Dental Health
Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and oral health. Dental X-rays or a 3D CBCT scan may be recommended to evaluate bone structure and assist with implant planning.
We will explain the available treatment options, their potential benefits, risks and alternatives.
Personalised Treatment Plan
Understand Your Options and Costs
Following assessment, you will receive a proposed treatment plan outlining the recommended procedures, estimated costs, expected healing periods and likely appointment requirements.
You can ask questions and consider your options before deciding whether to proceed.
Treatment and Recovery
Care During and After Your Visit
If you proceed, your treatment will follow the agreed clinical plan. Some procedures require several appointments over a number of months to allow healing and integration of the implants with the jawbone.
Your dentist will advise when it is appropriate to travel and what follow-up care will be required after returning to Vanuatu.

Dental Implant and Restorative Treatments in Auckland
Our clinic offers several options for replacing missing teeth and restoring dental function. The most appropriate treatment depends on your oral health, clinical needs and personal preferences.
All listed prices are in New Zealand dollars (NZD). Final costs are confirmed following assessment.
Cosmetic Makeover
Cosmetic dental treatments may include porcelain veneers and crowns to improve the appearance of selected teeth. Treatment recommendations consider tooth structure, bite, oral health and your desired appearance.
Single Dental Implant
From NZ$4,000
A single dental implant can replace a missing tooth without relying on adjacent teeth for support. Treatment generally involves placing an implant in the jawbone and, following appropriate healing, attaching a custom-made crown..
Implant-Supported Bridge
From NZ$8,250
An implant-supported bridge may be considered when several adjacent teeth are missing. The bridge is supported by dental implants rather than natural neighbouring teeth. The number of implants required depends on the clinical assessment.
All-on-4 Dental Implants
From NZ$25,000
All-on-4 is a full-arch restoration approach that uses four strategically positioned implants to support a fixed dental prosthesis. It may be suitable for some patients who have lost most or all teeth in an upper or lower jaw. Suitability depends on bone anatomy, oral health and other clinical factors. Additional procedures or a different number of implants may be recommended.
Implant-Supported Denture
From NZ$8,000
Implant-supported dentures use dental implants to provide additional support and retention for a denture. Depending on the design, the denture may be removable for cleaning or fixed in place by the dentist.
Unsure Which Treatment Is Suitable?
Our team can explain your options, including alternatives to implant treatment, and help you understand the clinical and financial considerations before making a decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I discuss dental implant treatment before travelling from Vanuatu?
Yes. You can contact our team to discuss your concerns and the available consultation process. Existing dental reports or X-rays may help with an initial discussion. However, a definitive treatment plan and accurate quotation generally require a clinical assessment and appropriate imaging.
Â
Will I need more than one visit to Auckland for dental implants?
Possibly. Implant treatment commonly involves assessment, implant placement, healing and fitting the final restoration. Healing can take several months, and additional visits may be required. Some patients may receive a temporary restoration earlier, but this does not necessarily mean treatment is complete.
How long should I stay in Auckland after implant surgery?
The recommended stay depends on the procedure, your general health and your recovery. Your dentist will advise on post-operative reviews and when you may be fit to fly. It is important not to assume that you can travel immediately after surgery.
Can Vanuatu residents travel to New Zealand for dental implant treatment?
Patients from Vanuatu may be able to travel to New Zealand for dental treatment, subject to meeting immigration requirements. Immigration New Zealand has a Medical Treatment Visitor Visa category for people seeking treatment or consultation. Confirm the correct visa and documentation requirements directly with Immigration New Zealand before making travel arrangements.
How much do dental implants cost for patients from Vanuatu?
At our Auckland clinic, the advertised starting price for a single dental implant is NZ$4,000. Your total cost depends on the number of implants, the type of restoration and whether additional procedures are necessary. International travel, accommodation and related expenses should be budgeted separately.
What happens if I need dental care after returning to Vanuatu?
Before leaving Auckland, you should receive aftercare instructions and information about follow-up appointments. Depending on your needs, ongoing care may involve communication with our clinic and examination by a dentist in Vanuatu. Problems such as increasing swelling, severe pain, persistent bleeding or signs of infection require prompt in-person assessment.
