Our mission is to give people back the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. We believe oral and maxillofacial surgery is about more than just restoring function, it’s about helping patients regain comfort in daily life, rebuild self-esteem, and improve overall wellbeing.
Every treatment is designed with the individual in mind, ensuring care that is safe, effective, and tailored to their needs. As a leader in dental implant treatment in New Zealand, we are committed to delivering the highest standard of care while focusing on the outcomes that matter most to our patients, their health, confidence, and quality of life.
After a really traumatic experience with another surgeon, I was nervous about trying again. But meeting Dr. Choi, the anaesthetist, and the entire after-care team completely changed everything. They were calm, supportive, and explained every step in a way that made me feel safe.
They fixed the complications I’d been struggling with and helped me feel comfortable and confident again. My implants look and feel amazing now, and the care I received—from surgery to after-care—was outstanding.
I’m so grateful to have found a team I can finally trust.
I visited NSOMS after seeing my regular dentist, as my dental situation had been deteriorating after more than 50 years of neglect, losing my front teeth in an accident, old-fashioned treatment over the years, and some very wobbly old crowns.
I met Dr Han Choi and Dr Alan Payne, and together we created a plan using new technology to restore my mouth with full-arch implant-supported fixed bridges for both the top and bottom. My treatment had to be staged, as I first needed to have a large cyst removed from my jaw before proceeding to implants. The first step was the full removal of my remaining teeth and a cyst, which was emotionally challenging. I then spent a few months with dentures while my gums healed enough to move on to the next stage. The second operation was to place the implants and after a few months, my life changed forever.
The suggestion from Dr Choi and Dr Payne to completely rebuild my teeth with full implants wasn’t cheap, but it was worth it 100%. Only a few months after our first meeting, I could bite and chew any food again, I could smile proudly without worrying about what others might see, I knew I’d never have sore teeth again, and I genuinely felt like I had my face back.
Looking back to that first appointment, I’m incredibly glad I decided to go ahead. Once everything was complete, I met Lily Lee, the Dental Hygienist, who taught me how to care for my new teeth. Throughout the entire process, I felt genuinely well looked after by the nurses, patient coordinators, and the rest of the staff.
For full mouth implant rehabilitation, we can use remote anchorage implants (such as zygomatic, pterygoid, or trans-sinus implants) to provide stable support in patients with insufficient bone. Learn more. For partial cases, we can consider a range of bone grafting procedures to rebuild bone and allow implant placement. Learn more.
Yes. Full mouth implant rehabilitation is a major surgical procedure, typically lasting 2–4 hours. We recommend performing it under general anaesthesia (GA) in a medical-level operating theatre.
This ensures your safety and comfort, and removes variables such as movement, coughing, or fatigue which could compromise treatment outcomes. Our specialist anaesthetists are highly trained to provide both GA and IV sedation, allowing you to undergo surgery in the most comfortable and controlled way.
Yes. Revision surgery is possible, and this is one of our areas of special expertise. Learn more here
From start to finish, the process usually takes 3–6 months. This includes the surgery, placement of a temporary prosthesis, healing time, and then delivery of the final prosthesis. The temporary prosthesis is also fixed onto the implants and is typically provided within 1–3 days after surgery, so you will not experience a prolonged period without teeth.
The cost starts from $35,000 per arch. Fees are staged to align with each phase of treatment, and flexible payment options (including Q-Card finance) are available.
You will be fitted with a fixed temporary prosthesis within 1–3 days after surgery. While wearing this, you’ll need to follow a soft diet for 3–6 months to allow proper healing. Once your final prosthesis is placed, you can return to a normal diet.
Most patients need at least one week off work after surgery to rest and recover.
Maintenance depends on your oral hygiene routine and risk factors. Typically, we recommend visits every 6 months, but some patients may require annual reviews instead.
