Not clinical advice

This site publishes general information about dental treatment and costs in New Zealand. It is not clinical advice, not a diagnosis, and not a substitute for examination by a registered dental practitioner. We are not a dental practice: see about.

Nothing here should be used to decide whether you need treatment, to delay seeking treatment, or to choose between options. Only a practitioner who has examined you can do that.

Prices

Prices on this site are survey figures and published clinic prices, shown with their source and the date we read them. They are not quotes and no practice is bound by them. Ask the practice for a written estimate before treatment.

Accuracy

We take care with what we publish and link to the administering bodies for anything they decide. Entitlements, criteria and clinical practice change, and we give no warranty that every page reflects the current position. Where a page describes a Work and Income grant, ACC cover or publicly funded care, that agency’s own current information governs.

Consumer law

Nothing in these terms limits rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 or the Fair Trading Act 1986 that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Third-party links

We link to external sources including the Dental Council of New Zealand, the NZ Dental Association, Health New Zealand, Work and Income, ACC and AUT. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content.
