White Fillings

White (composite) fillings and fissure sealants: $90-600.

Extractions

Tooth extractions: $260-450

Simple extractions start from $260. Multiple simple extractions will be discounted.

Sometimes teeth are quite complicated to remove, and our dentists will refer you to other practitioners if you require surgical removal of wisdom teeth or root-filled teeth. Costs for this can be $300-600, with an added sedation cost of $500.

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment: $800-1350 for front teeth (anteriors) and teeth in front of your molar chewing teeth (premolars).

Our dentists refer all molar root canal treatment to Venkat at Smile Art Endodontics at ProMed House 10th Ave, costs are between $1750-2400 for a normal molar tooth; for a re-treat molar root canal, costs are $2900-3400.

Dental Crowns

Dental crowns: $550-1695 (plus the gold alloy cost).

A full coverage composite (white filling) crown is medium strength, is the shortest lasting option and can last 3-5 years : $550-600

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 $1695+ per tooth, depending on the gold cost.

Dental Implants

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.

I had my first visit at Garden Dental today on recommendation from a friend. Fi made me feel very welcome and is super friendly and caring with a very down-to-earth yet professional manner. I felt quickly at ease which is just what you want when you visit the Dentist. Everyone at Gardens was in fact wonderful and friendly. I'm very happy and will definitely will be coming back :-) thanks again!!

They are also lovely and friendly and always great at making you laugh. seriously cant recomend them enough : )

What an absolutely refreshing change to go to a dentist and come out after an amazing, painless process. Have not regretted changing to Fiona and her team.
Steve Bolt  
One of the best dental experiences to date. Fi was fun and lighthearted which made for a pleasant appointment. Super gentle and checked in with me often to make sure I was ok. Can’t recommend her and her skills enough!!

Fi and Vicki you are honestly such a fantastic dental team. I have been visiting for many years now and can not speak any more highly of you both. You make my visits feel so relaxed that it doesn't feel like you are even at the dentist. Thank you girls for always looking after me, you are the best

Just recently had a cleaning & cavity filled by the lovely Fi from Gardens Dental. She is amazing and works wonders not only on your teeth but also to ensure you are comfortable and at ease during your time with her! Would highly recommend her to anyone needing a local dentist!
Jess Lowcher  
First review because I just wanted to say Fi and Vicky are honestly the best..so scared of dentists but they have made it the best experience ever. Very gentle, zero pain for multiple complicated procedures and don’t make you feel bad about not going to the dentist for ages ..they are super cool!
David Weaver  
Fiona is great to deal with and goes the extra mile, even ringing you in the evening to check that all is well. She is highly professional and a breath of fresh air. A thoroughly honest and approachable dentist.
Jez Rogers  
I had extensive work done on my lower teeth and a new top denture made. It was almost a fun experience.
Fi & Vicki are a great team, and their constant banter helped me to relax. They did so much to improve my smile and my self confidence. I highly recommend them both.
