Why the Massive Price Difference?
The implant hardware is identical - Straumann and Nobel Biocare sell at the same wholesale price worldwide. What changes is every cost that surrounds it.
- Clinic rent & overheads - a CBD practice in Sydney or Melbourne pays $80–$150 per sqm per month. An equivalent hospital-grade facility in Delhi costs 70–80% less.
- Staff costs - India produces world-class specialists (MDS, fellowships at AAID/ICOI) at a fraction of Australian salary benchmarks, without any compromise in training depth.
- In-house laboratory - Stunning Dentistry fabricates every zirconia prosthesis on-site. No external lab markups, no courier delays, no third-party quality variance.
- Volume economics - treating 150+ implant patients per month gives us far deeper supplier pricing than a typical Australian practice treating 15–20.
- No insurance billing overhead - Australian clinics spend significant resources on insurance claims, gap payments, and compliance administration. We quote all-inclusive and collect directly.
- Single-owner hospital - no franchise fees, no corporate overhead, no investor returns factored into pricing.
