Dental implants are a permanent tooth/teeth replacement option. Dental implants look and feel like your own teeth and because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.
Make an Appointment for Your Smile!
Dental implants are a permanent tooth/teeth replacement option that look and feel like your own teeth, and because they are designed to fuse with bone, they become permanent.
Implants Provide an All-Natural Feel
Dental implants look and feel like real teeth. The process of osseointegration creates a root, making the implant function as a natural tooth. There is no noticeable difference between an implant and natural teeth. Schedule a free consultation with our dentist to check your eligibility for an implant.
Implants Can Prevent Bone Loss
After the loss or extraction of a tooth, the surrounding bone in the jaw can begin to disintegrate. As the bone is reabsorbed back into the body, a host of oral issues may arise. Dental implants perform the same functions as natural teeth and can keep the bone stimulated, so further bone loss doesn’t occur.
Implants Can Preserve Your Bite
When you lose teeth, it can cause a change in the overall structure of your entire mouth. This shift can lead to alignment issues and can result in a weakened bite and potentially distorted facial features. A dental implant can help reinforce your bone structure and prevent any changes to your bite.
Surrounding Teeth are Protected
When you lose a tooth, other teeth can deviate from their position and try to take over the empty space. Teeth shifting around can lead to problems with their stability and potential gum issues. Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants don’t require the surrounding teeth to be shaved down.
Implants Require Low Maintenance
Maintaining a dental implant is the same as maintaining your natural teeth. Unlike dentures, you don’t need to remove your implant to keep it clean. And, because it’s a long-lasting option, you won’t have to ever think about having replacements, like you would with a bridge or crown.
Offers a More Permanent Fix
Dental implants are ranked as one of the longest lasting fixes for missing teeth. They are permanent and specifically designed to handle daily wear and tear. You can have confidence in your dental implant lasting a lifetime. In fact, studies have shown that it has a 95 percent success rate over 40 years of use.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants take the place of missing teeth and are comprised of three parts:
- The Crown: The tooth-like part of the implant, made of ceramic and designed to look and feel exactly like a natural tooth.
- The Connector: Sometimes called an “abutment,” the connector is used to secure the tooth-like crown of the implant to its base and is often hexagonal or octagonal in shape.
- The Base: A titanium screw that fuses with natural bone to provide a stable base.
What does the Dental Implant process involve?
The dental implant process requires oral surgery and is usually performed while the patient is sedated.
During surgery, the dentist will drill a small hole in the jawbone and carefully screw the base into the bone. The gum is then placed over the implant so that it can heal.
After the base of the implant has healed enough, a second surgery is needed to fit the connector into the top of the implant. Finally, the crown is placed on top of the connector. This crown is attached to the connector with a special dental cement and a small screw.

Frequently asked Questions about Dental Implants.
Will the procedure be painful?
You should experience very little discomfort during the procedure as local anesthesia is available. After the dental implant procedure, there might be a little swelling but this typically very minimal for this procedure. Any post-procedure pain can be managed with medication.
How much time off work will I need?
You can return to work the day after the dental implant procedure. Although we recommend you take a couple of days off if your job requires hard labour or if you are taking pain-medication to ease any discomfort.
How long will the implant take to fully integrate with the bone?
The dental implant usually takes about 3 months when implanted in the lower jaw and 6 months for the upper jaw for the implant to fully integrate with your bone.
Do dental implants require special maintenance?
Other than regular dental examinations, care for your implants exactly like you would your natural teeth. Which mean brushing and flossing daily.
Are dental implants removable like dentures?
No, dental implants are solidly attached to the jaw-bone. This means they are permanently anchored in the mouth and cannot be removed in a similar fashion to dentures.
Are there metal-free dental implants options?
There are no “metal-free” dental implants. Every dental implant on the market contains some form of metal. Dental implants are made with Titanium which is very bio-compatible. It is the same metal used for hip and other joint replacements.
Can ACC help cover the cost of dental implants?
Yes, if your need has arisen due to accidentally injury. Otherwise ACC will not cover the cost.

Very professional, friendly and great service. I had a root canal done, the doctor that treated me was excellent. Very knowledgeable and professional. He made me feel very comfortable and I trusted him from the start. The issue was dealt with in 3 sessions. My tooth has been well taken care of, it looks and feels great. I am very happy and would definitely recommend this practice. Thank you MaxCare and all the staff.

Had the horrifying experience of my front tooth just breaking completely off, I went to another dentist who quoted me $6000 for an implant..but he couldn't offer me any temporary replacement... there's no way I was walking around with no tooth for a week, googled implants and maxcare popped up with a deal of $3995. I called them they saw me straight away, I was given options but all came with the promise they could fix a temporary tooth.. they were friendly and really seemed to care..I walked out with my smile and dignity intact and will be back soon to get the implant.. couldn't recommend them more highly..great service.. amazing price

I only went to Maxcare Dental because I had a Grab One deal and it was across the road from my workplace. Normally I’ll never go into an establishment for Health Care unless it has been recommended to me AND I would never go into a Health Care establishment in Otahuhu either (personal choice).When I walked in, I was real surprised:1. It was clean and tidy (tick)2. Friendly staff (tick tick)3. Staff were professional, qualified and they knew what they were talking about and had been trained at a high level (tick tick tick)It ticked all the boxes for me. I have recommended Maxcare Dental to all my friends and colleagues (to their surprise lol). My wife has booked in to see Maxcare Dental and it’s now become my preferred choice when it comes to dental work!

The dental Clínic is outstanding with also excellent professional staff. I have been attended in 4 different Clinics before coming to this one and for sure this is the best. For those who fear going to the dentists my last 2 fillings I had here I suggested not to use anesthesia and I didn't feel any pain at all. They are really careful and have wonderful hands. Easy parking and online bookings.

I am a new patient and I thoroughly enjoy the friendly, welcoming service and affordable prices at Max care. I had several proceedures done to my teeth for tha past month and today I was very impressed and grateful that Dr Khan came in on her day off to accommodate me (shift worker)she has an extremely busy schedule but that blew me away!! I offered to pay extra but she said it was fine. I am recommending her to everyone I know she and her lovely staff pull out the red carpet treatment and make the whole experience all about you THANK YOU SO MUCH DR KHAN + MAXCARE

I went to the max care all frightened but was assured it will be painless. When I went there I was blown away by the relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff . I have changed my dentist to max care because they treated me so well and informed the procedure every step of the way. She was young beautiful and yet so knowledgeable . I completely trust her. The receptionist and the assistant nurse too were so Curtiss and friendly . They really know their stuff and work as a team . The place is clean, location is easy accessible and open 7 days . It’s great for working people , can visit in the weekends and there is plenty of parking . I have been to many dentists previously , but I really recommend Maxcare Dental. I give them 10/10 . They reminded me of my appointments . Max are provided me the service beyond my expectation. And I THANK YOU😃😃😃😃😃

Dr Tazeen is that rare kind of person that exudes professionalism but also is genuinely caring, and goes out of her way to advise you on what is best for your own personal dental health. In a situation where most of us are nervous and (with suction, etc in our mouths) unable to speak!) Dr Tazeen intuitively knows when to check in on you, and adjust any procedure to make you instantly more comfortable. The practice, in general, offers top quality work without the 'posh people' prices, and they stay away from sales pitches and hard-sells, while offering clear information and solid support. Highly recommended.

Dr Tazeen Khan, was very professional and so kind and thoughtful right from the start, I was super nervous in seeing a Dentist. I wanted to see a female Dentist, she put my worries at ease, cared about my feelings, she worked without any breaks and always che led to see how I was feeling. Dr Khan worked so fast and had everything done in the same day, she did moulds done all in one day and her assistant was very professional as well. I've never felt so cared for in such a kind and caring way. I would recommend her to everyone.

I would recommend her to anyone who needed any work done. Thank you Dr Tazeen Kahn for all you have done.

My wife and I both had work done at Maxcare Dental in Otahuhu and we were very pleased with the whole experience. The clinic looked very modern and clean. The receptionist was friendly and very helpful. The dentist was very professional and gave us great advise concerning care needed and after care. The cost was competive and reasonable but still a lot for a low income family. We did receive a slight discount which means alot as every cent counts. Overall, we are very satisfied with our experience, this is why we are back a second time. We'll done Maxcare Otahuhu.

I would like to express my gratitude for your wonderful dentist finding the infection that wasn't presenting on the 19th when I came for a review. I am very relieved now I returned so soon as I have been very unwell since the implant failure months ago and I am looking forward to becoming well again. I found his technique and skills outstanding and I will be referring people to your clinic to see him.I would also like to share that I thanked Lydia the dental assistant today. I have never thanked an assisting person before but she did an amazing job. I normally find suctioning extremely uncomfortable and usually the fluid still runs down the back of my throat causing me to gag. I would say she would be the best dental assistant I have ever experienced with excellent technique. Finally I would like to mention Anna she is always very friendly and helpful.I wanted to share my personal feeling toward your staff I encountered today and to let you be proud of them especially in the current difficult situation all New Zealanders and all businesses are facing.you have an outstanding Team working for you Rating 5/5

I have never enjoyed going to the dentist since young age and had struggled for a long time to find a dentist that I felt comfortable with until I visited Maxcare Dental. From the very first phone call with Anna at reception through to my visits with Dr Hassan Ahmed, they have shown sincere kindness and support throughout. They really do look after their customers and provide excellent work on your teeth! (really happy with mine!!). Will highly recommend them to all my family and friends.
