What we treat
Everyday dentistry for the whole family, in one place.
Fillings & crowns
Tooth-coloured fillings, crowns and bridges. We match the shade so the work doesn't announce itself.
From $180
Whitening
Done properly, with trays made for your teeth. Safer and longer-lasting than anything off a shelf.
From $350
Children's dentistry
First visits that aren't frightening. We let them sit in the chair and look at everything before anything happens.
Emergency visits
Toothache, a lost filling, a broken tooth. Call before 10am and we will nearly always see you that day.
Assessment $75
Straightening
Clear aligners for adults and teenagers, with the full cost agreed before you start.
Consultation free
New patient visit — $89
A full examination, any x-rays you need, and a written plan with prices on it. About an hour, and there is no obligation to book anything else.
Replace this offer with your own, or delete the whole section. Never advertise a price the practice will not honour.

★★★★★
I hadn't been to a dentist in nine years because I was embarrassed. Nobody made me feel bad about it. We made a plan and worked through it.
★★★★★
My son is six and actually asks when he's going back. I don't know how they managed that.
★★★★★
Cracked a molar on a Sunday night. Rang at eight on Monday, was in the chair by eleven, and the bill was exactly what they quoted.
Questions we get asked
- I'm nervous. Can you work with that?
- Yes, and it's common. Tell us when you book and we'll give you a longer appointment, explain each step before it happens, and stop whenever you raise a hand.
- Do you take my insurance?
- We take most major plans. Call with your plan name before you book and we'll check it and tell you what you'd pay.
- How quickly can I be seen?
- New patients are usually seen within a week. If you're in pain, call before 10am and we'll nearly always find room the same day.
- What if I can't afford the whole treatment?
- Tell us. We'll sort the plan into what's urgent and what can wait, and spread the rest over several visits.
