Dental in New Zealand

16th April 2012
My daughter has had dental trouble ever since her second teeth came through. Having had asthma and whooping cough while her second teeth were forming, we were told high temperatures and medication was the cause. She is now 25 and over the years we have had various 'specialist' opinions about her on-going and long term care, hearing the one main diagnosis that she would eventually have to have her teeth removed as they were 'chalky' and she would need false teeth. We were told this would probably need to be done when she was about 25 years old. This was a horrendous spectacle hanging over our heads for many years - my beautiful young daughter with FALSE TEETH, something we found so hard to comprehend in this day and age. My daughter is a journalist and did her own research when she left home and needed some urgent dental work for persistent tooth ache. She found the website for 'Caring 4 Smiles' in Epsom and decided after independent checking to have a consultation with Dr Loy. Dr Loy and his team were so caring and positive, with such an optimistic approach, telling us what we wanted to hear, that my daughter would be able to keep her own teeth. Not just what we wanted to hear but backing this claim up with a progressive plan over the next year to create a new smile for my daughter. It has not been easy, a fair amount of pain and expense but after six months we can see such a difference. Dr Loy takes photographs so you can see the before, during and after. We were amazed at the previous 'sticking plasters' my daughter had in her mouth. Other dentists with really good reputations that we had trusted had just drilled and patched up cavities with no thought to long term care, the proverbial ambulance at the bottom of the cliff ! My daughter can finally see a future with her own good teeth. lf only we had found Dr Loy and his team 15 years ago we could have saved my daughter a whole lot of misery. I would recommend 'Caring 4 Smiles' to anyone who needs a fresh approach to dentistry, combining a dentist, oral surgeon, cosmetic and preventative dentist - a one stop shop l Someone you can put your absolute trust in to tell you the truth and help you through it all in a professional and honest manner. I am so excited about all the options and information available that I am changing to 'Caring 4 Smiles' as well ! Carlene Mabey

It's always pleasure to visit my hygienist in Glendowie dental centre, not only because of her cheerful and friendly manner, but also because of the thorough cleanning jod she does and her knowledgeable and valued advice to help me look after my teeth, for example how best to floss. Today, she advised that I would be wise to use sugar free chewing gum between meals because she noticed that my salive was a bit 'sticky'. I have no doubt that my half yearly hygiene treatments will help ensure that I keep my teeth in good order for much longer.

Definitely recommend Allister and the friendly team. Very professional, excellent practice with high quality equipment at a very good price! After visiting my dentist, I wanted a 2nd opinion. I turned up at Dentalworks and was warmly greeted by the friendly receptionist and well decorated waiting area. I was promptly met by the dental assistant who took me to get some very high tech looking X-rays. Then met with the dentist, again in very nice and high tech dental room, who was friendly guy and seemed very efficient and knew what he was doing. Allister found that the dentist that I saw 3 months ago had missed quite a few fillings and the clean was not done correctly. Allister sorted out the fillings for me at a resonable price, and I will be back to see your hygienist Thanks for my awesome smile Dentalworks!

I had a fear for dentist. I had to go to the dentist for severe tooth ache. I went in to Bridgens dental. For my first two appointments I received oral sedation (my choice). Now I am so comfortable in a dentist chair that I don't need any sedation. The staff was very helpfull and the dentists excellent, caring and gentle. I was also blown away by the modern equipment and price for service( I did my homework) Thanks and you will see my family and hopefully all the friends I refer.
