Some common questions our patients ask.

 
 

Can I spread the payment?

We offer multiple finance options with Q Card for purchases over $1000. For Purchases $1000 or under you can use Humm which is similar to Afterpay. You can choose to pay weekly in 10 slices or fortnightly in 5 slices. See shophumm.com for more information. If you do not already have a card you can apply for a Q MasterCard at our practice. For more information visit qmastercard.co.nz

How often do I need to see the dentist?

The frequency of your dental exam depends on your dental risk profile, your oral hygiene habits at home, disease risk and medical health. If you have a high risk of dental disease you should ideally be reviewed every 6 months until improvement is noticeable. However, if you have a relatively healthy mouth you may only require a dental exam once yearly or biennially.

I want to improve the appearance of my teeth, what dental procedures would suit?

Modern dentistry has so many ways to improve a smile and build confidence. A tooth whitening procedure can refresh your smile or composite bonding and veneers, implants to restore missing teeth and even natural looking dentures. Book a consultation with one of our friendly dentists to see which option is best for you.

Do you also treat children?
