We offer a high-quality personal service that makes the most of the very latest dental care technology and provides lifelong value. We evaluate new materials as they are introduced and, as a team, we're constantly updating our clinical skills through courses and regular meetings with other dentists and professionals in the field.

Following our first meeting, we will give you a detailed written estimate of the work we recommend. If you need treatment, we'll work together to organise a timing schedule to fit in with your budget, so there need be no surprises. You are in control.

Perhaps the most important consideration is that our continuing preventative care programme means we catch any problems before they become expensive to correct and therefore the cost of keeping your mouth healthy and smile attractive is kept to a minimum.

Finally, we offer the following payment options: cash, EFTPOS, Visa, MasterCard and afterpay.

We use hospital-grade techniques to protect patients and staff from infection and cross-contamination. The precautions we take to prevent infection are vital for your safety and ours.

Sound sterilisation practices in dentistry protect patients, dentists and the whole dental team. They prevent the growth of bacteria on instruments and surfaces throughout the dental practice.

Yes, we're accredited by the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) to provide a wide range of dental treatments following an injury.

This may involve relief of pain and repair immediately after the injury has occurred, or it may include longer-term treatment options and follow-up.

ACC provides comprehensive, no-fault injury cover for all New Zealand residents and visitors to New Zealand. For dental injuries, a claim must be registered through a dentist who will have you fill out an ACC form. ACC will then assess the claim and provide funding for treatment. Unfortunately, ACC do not always pay out for the full cost of treatment however our team will be able to give you an idea of any extra cost, or co-payment at the time of consultation.

Gum disease is described as swelling, soreness or infection of the tissues supporting the teeth. There are two main forms of gum disease: gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Gingivitis:

Gingivitis means 'inflammation of the gums'. This is when the gums around the teeth become very red and swollen. Often the swollen gums bleed when they are brushed during cleaning.

Periodontal disease:

Long-standing gingivitis can turn into periodontal disease. There are several types of periodontal disease and they all affect the tissues supporting the teeth. As the disease gets worse the bone anchoring the teeth in the jaw is lost, making the teeth loose. If this is not treated, the teeth may eventually fall out.

Bad breath is usually caused by bacteria in the mouth and is not a sign of general ill health. Sometimes, the smell comes from the nose.
