Experienced dentists, hygienists and support staff who strive for excellence
Our Wellington dental clinic has dentists, dental assistants, dental hygienists, and administration who have the same philosophy; to create the best dental care and dental services possible for you and your family.
Each dentist is chosen because of three vital things - their experience, their natural empathy, and their natural ability to communicate. They don't just fix problems - they also help you proactively maintain your teeth and gums for optimum health.
Our focus in our Practice is to ensure that we exceed the minimum requirements as set out by the NZ Dental Council of at least 20 hours per week. Our aims are to constantly challenge ourselves, learn, attend meetings and courses to ensure that we meet both our patients and our own high expectations.
"Our staff believe we are like a family to them. It's not just a job." Dr Lallit Rajpal
