Hi there,
Wondering if anyone tried the Dental Implant Package on Grabone? The price is really attractive - $3299 for one implant teeth, I believe the normal price is around 8k.

Their website seems to be not that professional so I am a bit worried.

Hoping can get more info here if it's ok!
Thank you so much! This is really helpful!
Looks like one reviewer on Google used the Grabone offer, however credible that is is up to you:

Also seems like some old lady got locked in their toilet, so that could be an interesting time.
I had a look on Google reviews and everyone seems happy with the service.
As long as you don't need to go to the toilet; because they don't tell you that you can only get out the door but not come back in and the lady who takes care of it seems to be pretty rude 🤣
If you can bypass 1) Rude asian lady and 2) no need for toilet - you'll be fine.
https://bit.ly/302qwly check the reviews, but I'm sure the comment above is pretty encouraging.
I can’t help sorry but it would probably be helpful to post the link you are referring to.
Is this it? https://new.grabone.co.nz/health-nutrition-dental/dental-imp…
Yes! I will edit into my post - thought it might not be ok to have a direct link
Someone in my family got this. Don't be put off by the website, the clinic is on the Three Lamps corner in Ponsonby, and the dentist used to teach this stuff at the University in California in San Francisco. We got quotes from a few places, and this was the cheapest by far. If you dig deeper on the website, it mentions how the dentist isn't all about maximising profit - he also wants to provide a cost-effective healthcare service to help people too. My family member was very happy with the quality of the dental service.
From what I've heard, the clinic isn't organised like a typical clinic - it goes for more of a relaxed and functional vibe. The receptionists aren't sitting behind a big desk when you first walk in, I think there's a few desks against the wall. The dentist chairs aren't in their own room, they're off to the side and behind curtains (or so I've heard, not completely sure how it actually is since I didn't see it myself. It did sound like they were far enough away to give some privacy though, and not let any noise affect the workspace). I think the idea with the organisation is to help people relax, since a lot of people are nervous at the dentist.
So they are very professional on the clinical dental stuff (and have a ton of experience), and are maybe more relaxed on the organisational stuff about where things are placed etc, and not caring if the website is super professional or not. Not sure if this is some Silicon Valley influence, but I liked the sound of it tbh. They could clearly afford to make it like a typical practice if they wanted too - premises in Ponsonby don't come cheap, after all - but they choose not to because they like it how it is. It does generally seem like a good practice, with quite a few people working there.
If you look up the people involved, take into account the doctor's track record and location, and of course the price, then I think you'll find it's a good call. You could also call to book an initial appointment, if you want to try before you buy. Tell them you're not sure whether the grabone deal is the right fit for you, so you just want to get their opinion on your specific case before you buy it.
