nib has got your dental insurance sorted
Our Everyday plans can help you be proactive about your dental needs.
Modern dentistry has done away with much of the pain and discomfort many people associate with going to have their teeth checked. However, what it costs can still cause you discomfort.
Even the most careful adults may end up needing dental treatment at some point later in life. And anxiousness about the potential cost can stop them getting the treatment they need. That’s where dental cover comes in.
Understanding the cost of dental care
Dental treatment for adults is largely unsubsidised in New Zealand, which means you’re likely to be paying the full cost as a patient. To give you an idea of what different treatments can potentially cost, here’s some average costs from around New Zealand:
Check up with x-rays
$95-120
Fillings
$145-325 per tooth
Extractions
$210-280 per tooth
Root canal
$700-1,350
Ceramic crown
$1,370-1,520
Single tooth implant
$2,580-3,060
*Prices are based on average dental costs in cities across New Zealand (New Zealand Dental Association Fee Survey 2020). Prices vary between regions, cities and dental practices.
