Dental Implant Centre is a specialist implant practice at 38 Cliff Road, Tauranga. Its team is a surgeon, a restorative specialist and a dental technician who have worked together in the Bay of Plenty for more than eight years on full-mouth implant treatment. Implants can usually turn full dentures or failing teeth into fixed, implant-based teeth in a single day. The practice says implants can be used for a single tooth, a bridge, or a full set, and that in most cases teeth can be removed and implants placed on the same day.
Surgery is done in the morning at the McIndoe Clinic, in the rooms of Tauranga Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, under intravenous sedation. Patients then move next door, where a pre-made denture is fixed to the implants, and they can go home the same day with a fixed temporary denture. The temporary denture is used as a trial for six to 12 months before the permanent one is made. The practice is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm. As at 2026, the website says an implant bridge for a full upper or lower set can cost as much as $30,000. Our pick in Tauranga for full-arch implants with a one-day transition.
