White (composite) fillings and fissure sealants: $90-450.

A full coverage composite (white filling) crown is medium strength, is the shortest lasting option and can last 3-5 years : $450
An OVC which is a hybrid composite of medium-high strength can be used on a premolar or molar tooth, can last 5+ years: $850.
Our NZ laboratory-made dental crowns which are a high-strength, longest lasting option, can last 10+ years. These are made of either a gold alloy, porcelain emax, porcelain fused to metal, or zirconia. These are $1650+ per tooth, depending on the gold cost.

Dental implants: $6500+
Surgery to place the single tooth implant at OMS on Brown Street is approximately $3000, if sedation is included, the cost is around $3600. Multiple implants placed at the same time means one surgery cost, so a second implant placed is $1800 rather than $3000.
Four-six months later once bone has knitted to your implant screw (integration), your dentist will take the implant impression ($1000), and three weeks later the implant crown is fitted, $2000.
