Founder and Clinical Director of All-on-X Dental Implants
Dr. Hamid Al-Hassiny is a general dentist with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) and more than 30 years of clinical experience. He is the Founder and Clinical Director of All-on-X Dental Implants and practises at Hutt Dental Implant Centre in Lower Hutt, Wellington.
For over 20 years, Dr. Hamid’s clinical practice has included a strong focus on implant dentistry and full-arch rehabilitation, alongside immediate placement and more involved restorative cases. Working within a team of dental professionals at Hutt Dental Implant Centre, he plans each case collaboratively, so your treatment is coordinated from first assessment through to the final restoration and follow-up.
He leads a group operating in Wellington and Auckland. Having worked across many widely used implant systems, he is able to restore and maintain a wide variety of implant brands, including implants placed by another clinician.
One of the reasons Dr. Al-Hassiny established All-on-X Dental Implants, the practice’s dedicated implant treatment programme, was to bring implant care together in one place. All-on-X Dental Implants is the name of this treatment programme, not a specialist qualification or registration, and the treating practice in Lower Hutt is Hutt Dental Implant Centre. Here, treatment is delivered by a team of dental professionals working closely with a digital dental laboratory, so the different stages of your care are coordinated in one place.
For patients, this means your assessment, planning, treatment, and follow-up are coordinated by one team at one location, with clear communication at each step. As Founder and Clinical Director, Dr. Al-Hassiny leads this team and stays closely involved in patient care, drawing on the right experience within the group at each stage of your treatment. It is an approach designed for patients who prefer their care coordinated in one place.
Dr. Al-Hassiny believes every patient deserves honest advice, clear communication, and treatment tailored to their individual needs. His approach combines careful diagnosis, comprehensive treatment planning, evidence-based dentistry, and close collaboration between the clinical and laboratory teams, so the plan you agree to is one you understand fully before anything begins.
His goal is to help patients restore oral health, confidence, and quality of life while feeling informed and supported at every stage. Treatment outcomes vary depending on individual circumstances, and a personalised treatment plan is discussed with you at your consultation.
In practice, Dr. Al-Hassiny’s care at Hutt Dental Implant Centre Lower Hutt is built around:
Dr. Al-Hassiny holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery and has continued to invest in postgraduate education throughout his career, with a particular focus on implant dentistry and full-arch rehabilitation. He continues to undertake international training in implant, restorative, cosmetic, and digital dentistry.
Dr. Hamid Al-Hassiny is registered with the Dental Council of New Zealand and holds a current Annual Practising Certificate.
Dr. Al-Hassiny provides a full range of implant and restorative treatment at Hutt Dental Implant Centre in Lower Hutt, from replacing a single missing tooth through to complex full-arch reconstruction.
Full-arch rehabilitation replacing a complete set of teeth with a fixed, implant-supported bridge, planned using CBCT imaging and guided surgery.
Replacement of one missing tooth with a titanium post and porcelain crown, without altering the healthy teeth either side.
Where several teeth are missing in a row, a bridge supported by implants can replace them without relying on the neighbouring natural teeth for support. Whether this suits your situation depends on the number and position of the missing teeth and the bone available.
In some cases an implant can be placed at the same appointment as a tooth is removed, which may reduce the total number of procedures. This is not appropriate for every patient or every site, and suitability is assessed individually.
Not everyone has enough natural bone for straightforward implant placement, and being told this in the past does not always mean nothing can be done. Every complex case is assessed individually, and where the jaw has limited bone, options such as bone grafting or other techniques may be considered as part of your plan. More involved cases are managed collaboratively by our clinical team where appropriate, with each part of treatment carried out by a clinician experienced in it, rather than assuming a single clinician performs every advanced procedure. Suitability is determined after clinical assessment and 3D imaging.
Assessment, restoration, repair, and ongoing care of existing implants, including those placed overseas or by another clinician.
Smile rehabilitation and restorative treatment planned around long-term function as well as appearance.
CBCT imaging, intraoral scanning, CAD/CAM design, and 3D printing supporting guided surgical workflows.
The All-on-X Dental Implants clinics use advanced digital technology, including CBCT imaging, digital intraoral scanning, guided implant surgery, CAD/CAM technology, and 3D printing. Working closely with our digital dental laboratory allows highly customised restorations to be designed and manufactured with precision and close quality control.
For patients, this means fewer variables between planning and the final result. Restoration design can be reviewed, adjusted, and produced in close collaboration between Dr. Al-Hassiny and the laboratory team, supporting consistent, well-planned work. Individual results still depend on your oral health, your healing, and ongoing maintenance, and what the technology can and cannot tell us about your case is explained at your consultation.
Alongside his clinical work, Dr. Al-Hassiny is actively involved in dental education and mentoring. Through the Institute of Digital Dentistry, he conducts dental implant education programmes once or twice each year, providing hands-on training in implant surgery, digital workflows, treatment planning, restorative techniques, and full-arch rehabilitation.
He also mentors younger dentists, particularly internationally qualified dentists establishing their careers in New Zealand. This mentorship focuses on clinical skills, treatment planning, communication, ethical practice, and professional confidence.
Dr. Hamid has appeared on Radio New Zealand (RNZ) to discuss oral health and dental implants. He believes sharing knowledge and supporting the next generation of clinicians is an important part of advancing the dental profession. You can meet the wider team he works alongside on our clinical team page.
Dr. Al-Hassiny welcomes patients from throughout New Zealand. While the clinics are based in Wellington and Auckland, many patients travel from across the country for dental implants, full-arch rehabilitation, and complex restorative treatment. Because some treatment involves more than one appointment, our team groups visits where it is clinically sensible to do so, which can reduce the number of separate trips.
For patients who live a long way from Lower Hutt and whose treatment requires an overnight stay, we can help arrange accommodation near the clinic on request. This is practical assistance for patients travelling for treatment, not a promotional benefit or a reason to choose one treatment over another, and what applies in your situation is confirmed as part of your written treatment plan.
Patients across Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt, Wainuiomata, and the wider Wellington region come to Dr. Al-Hassiny for implant and restorative treatment. What he brings to that care includes:
It is a fair question to ask. In New Zealand, “specialist” is a protected title tied to a specific registration pathway, and Dr. Al-Hassiny does not hold it. What Dr. Al-Hassiny does hold is a BDS, more than 30 years in clinical dentistry, and over 20 years with a strong focus on implant work, supported by ongoing postgraduate education. Our team was founded and is clinically directed by Dr. Al-Hassiny, so your care has the benefit of experienced colleagues working together on your case. Rather than take any clinician’s title at face value, we would encourage you to ask us about the specific treatment you need, how often we carry it out here, and to see the planning and imaging for your own case.
Dr. Al-Hassiny’s clinical work spans both the surgical placement of implants and the restoration that follows, including full mouth rehabilitation. This matters more than it might sound, because when placement and restoration are planned together, the position of each implant is decided with the finished teeth already in mind. We work closely with our digital dental laboratory throughout, and you can meet the wider clinical team involved in your care. We confirm who is doing what in your particular case before treatment begins.
Long experience is only an advantage if it is kept up to date, which is why this is worth asking of any clinician. Dr. Al-Hassiny continues international postgraduate education in implant, restorative, cosmetic, and digital dentistry as of 2026, and also teaches implant surgery and digital workflows through the Institute of Digital Dentistry once or twice a year. In our experience, preparing to teach a technique to other dentists tends to keep a clinician’s own methods under scrutiny.
We will tell you. Part of the value of a thorough assessment is finding out when a treatment is not appropriate for your circumstances, and an honest conversation about that is more useful to you than proceeding with a plan that is unlikely to serve you well. If implants are not suitable, or not suitable yet, we will explain why and talk through what else may be open to you.
It may be. Being told there is not enough bone for implants does not always mean nothing can be done, as approaches such as bone grafting or other techniques exist for some of these situations. At Hutt Dental Implant Centre, we plan and manage more involved cases collaboratively as a team, drawing on the right experience for each stage of treatment. No honest answer is possible without a clinical examination and 3D imaging, so a second opinion is about finding out where you actually stand rather than being promised an outcome.
Yes, and it is worth acting sooner rather than later, because an ailing implant is often more straightforward to address than a failing one. Dr. Al-Hassiny has worked across many widely used implant systems, so we can assess, restore, repair, or maintain a wide variety of brands, including implants placed overseas or by another clinician. Please bring any records, X-rays, or implant documentation you have. We explain the difference between ailing and failing implants in more detail if you would like to read further.
Useful questions include: who will place the implants and who will restore them; what imaging is used to plan the case; whether the quote is itemised and what it excludes; which implant system is being used and whether it is widely supported in New Zealand; what happens if something needs adjusting later; and what the aftercare and review schedule looks like. A clinician who welcomes these questions is giving you information you can compare. We are happy to answer all of the above at your consultation.
The number of visits depends on your treatment, your bone, and how you heal, so a realistic timeline is mapped out for you at your consultation rather than estimated in advance. For patients travelling, our team groups appointments where clinically appropriate to reduce the number of trips. If your treatment requires an overnight stay, we can also help arrange accommodation near the clinic on request, as practical assistance for patients travelling for treatment.
Implants need ongoing maintenance and periodic review, in the same way natural teeth do, and problems picked up early are generally easier to manage. Our Lower Hutt clinic runs an ongoing implant maintenance and aftercare programme. We set out the specific terms in writing before treatment begins, including what the programme covers, what it does not, and any conditions that apply, so nothing is left to assumption. This is a maintenance and support arrangement rather than a guarantee of any clinical result. Long-term outcomes depend on your oral health, home care, and attending reviews, and we will be candid with you about what your case requires.
Yes, and we would encourage it. A consultation is a conversation, not a commitment. You can discuss your situation, see your own imaging, hear which options may be appropriate, and receive an itemised estimate before deciding anything. Nothing proceeds until you feel fully informed and comfortable, and taking time to consider a plan or seek another opinion is entirely reasonable. Please mention if you are travelling from outside the region so appointments can be coordinated.
If you are living with missing, failing, or uncomfortable teeth and would like to understand your options, a consultation with Dr. Al-Hassiny at Hutt Dental Implant Centre Lower Hutt is a practical place to start. We will assess the condition of your teeth, gums, and supporting bone carefully, explain which treatments may be appropriate for your situation, and answer any questions you have.
No treatment is recommended until you feel fully informed and comfortable with your plan. Payment and financing options are available, and our team is happy to discuss these with you. To arrange a consultation with Dr. Hamid Al-Hassiny, contact our team directly or book an appointment online at a time that suits you.
