Dental Implants
A titanium implant replaces a missing tooth root and supports a crown or bridge that emerges from the gum like a natural tooth — surgery and restoration handled in-clinic.
Single implant from $5,750
Invisalign
Straighten teeth with a series of nearly invisible, removable clear aligners. We scan your teeth to simulate your treatment from start to finish — changing aligners every two weeks.
Certified Invisalign provider
Crowns
All our crowns are fabricated right here in Auckland by highly experienced dental technicians — never sent to cheap overseas laboratories. Your dentist helps choose the right material for your tooth.
From $1,750Fillings
Modern white fillings mimic natural tooth structure, contain no mercury, and set instantly under LED light — ready to eat on as soon as you leave. Typically $300–$450.
Veneers
Size, shape, colour and position optimised for a beautiful smile. Using photographs and models, we design a result in perfect harmony with your face.
Root Canal Treatment
Saves teeth that would otherwise be removed. Modern, predictable and generally pain-free — the tooth is fully numbed and isolated with a rubber dam.
Bridges
A simple way to replace a missing tooth, usually by crowning one or both neighbouring teeth and joining them. We'll help you choose the right type and material.
Tooth Whitening
We draw on decades of experience across various systems to perfect tooth whitening and brighten your smile safely.
ACC Consultation
Accidents happen, and teeth don't heal themselves. Our dentists are extremely experienced with dental trauma and can have you smiling again in no time.
Dentures
When dentures are the right option, we work closely with a fantastic technician to provide perfectly fitting, comfortable and natural-looking results.
Stop Snoring
A custom-fitted mandibular advancement splint (MAS) gently moves the lower jaw forward, opening the airway to prevent snoring. Persistent snoring should be assessed for sleep apnoea — ask us for a referral.
Finance
Pay for your care your way with QCard interest-free finance, available on all treatments over $200. Ask us and begin your treatment today.
