Dental care that goes at your pace
A calm, light-filled practice in Hamilton East. We explain everything first, and you can stop at any time.
Open Saturday mornings
8.30 am to 12.30 pm
Your first visit, one step at a time
Knowing what happens next makes a real difference. Here is how a first visit runs, about 45 minutes in all. The circle breathes at a slow, steady pace if you'd like to breathe along.
Arrive and settle
Come in, take a seat by the window and have a glass of water. There are no forms on a clipboard; you'll have filled them in online already.
Tell us at the desk if you're feeling nervous. It changes how we run the visit.
A chat before anything else
Your dentist sits with you, chair upright, and asks what you'd like from the visit and anything that has worried you before.
You can agree a stop signal, like raising a hand, and we will stop straight away.
Check-up and x-rays
A gentle look at your teeth and gums, and small x-rays if you need them. We tell you what we're doing before we do it.
Headphones and a blanket are there if you'd like them.
Your plan, in writing
We show you what we found on the screen and explain your options, including doing nothing for now. You get a written plan with costs.
Take it home and think it over. There is no pressure to book on the day.
Next steps, if you want them
If you'd like to go ahead, we book your next visit at a time that suits you. If not, we will remind you when your next check-up is due.
Most first visits take about 45 minutes in total.
