A dental tourism business in Auckland is seeking to bring Australians to New Zealand for dental care.
DentalabroadNZ says a weakening New Zealand dollar and cheap airfares have helped make the venture viable.
It has been set up by a dentist and a technician who makes dental implants like crowns and caps.
Together, they hope to offer Australians a saving of 20% - 30% on the work they need done.
They promise work done in Auckland will be of a higher standard than in other countries where dental tourism is popular, such as Thailand.
However, the Dental Association says there are risks associated with seeing a doctor or dentist in another country.
It recommends seeing a local dentist because they can offer help quickly if something goes wrong.
